- Summary
- The collection mainly depicts the activities of the Ku Klux Klan during the 20th century (1920s to 1980s). The collection consists of views of Klan meetings and parades (1920s-1960s); a group portrait of a Klan guerilla unit (1980); a depiction of police investigating a Klan-related lynching (1980s); some Klan-related literature; a political cartoon commenting on unreported Klan-related lynchings (1954); and an individual posing in a Klan outfit. Also included are reproductions of engravings depicting 19th century Klansmen and Klan activities (ca. late 1860s to early 1870s), as well as a broadside, a political cartoon, and a sheet music cover. Images of Ku Klux Klan activities may be found in the Stetson Kennedy Photograph Collection; and depictions of the Klan in the 19th century may be found in the Print Collection.
- Of note is a series of views of a Milo, Maine, centennial celebration parade (1923) in which the Ku Klux Klan marched in its first parade in the Northeastern United States; views of a funeral procession and burial service for a Klan member, which includes black mourners, in Cold Spring, Putnam County, New York (ca. 1920s); a group portrait of the Klan, with a Santa Claus figure and an elderly African American couple, celebrating the husband's 107th birthday (1948); and views of small children being initiated into the Klan (n.d.).
