NOTRE DAME STUDENTS STAND UP TO THE KKK
At the height of the power of the Ku Klux Klan in May of 1924, they planned a rally in the city of South Bend, Ind. The city is home to the University of Notre Dame, where a concentration of Catholic students attended. This set up a major flashpoint between the KKK and a religious group they had villainized and persecuted. The RESIST exhibit will seek to help visitors understand key questions and realities around the Ku Klux Klan’s (KKK) rise to power in Indiana. It will also feature how people resisted and raised questions about how to combat hate. This exhibition will explore these broad themes by looking at one pivotal event from 1924 and the context that surrounded it.
