Please consider checking this book out from our collection and joining Teen and Adult Services Librarian Shelby Couch in discussing this fascinating, account of our history with local author James H. Madison. 

Madison tells a story of intrigue, revealing actual events and the roots of this movement in Indiana. He differentiates between the various KKK groups and how each functioned on political, social, and economic levels. Readers will learn how the KKK was viewed by Hoosiers of the 20s and how the women and men of the KKK used fear and violence as a way to change society as a whole.
