LEWIS, GEORGE. "“An Amorphous Code”: The Ku Klux Klan and Un-Americanism, 1915–1965." Journal of American Studies 47, no. 4 (September 4, 2013): 971–92. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0021875813001357.

Abstract:
On 1 June 1965, the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) announced that it would hold hearings into the Ku Klux Klan, fifty years after the organization had appeared before the House Rules Committee. Whereas the 1925 investigation allowed the Klan to continue to claim a “100% Americanism,” HUAC unequivocally declared the Klan of the 1960s to be entirely un-American. This essay seeks to explain that turnaround in the understanding of the Klan and its activities, on the one hand, and the contested ideas of un-Americanism and Americanism on the other. It is only within the context of that struggle over un-Americanism's evolving definition, it is argued, that the official decision of civil rights organizations such as COFO and SCLC – whose members had suffered personally from Klan violence – to oppose the proposed HUAC investigation of the Klan can be understood. Similarly, that ongoing contest explains how it was that, after almost three decades of investigating left-wing organizations that often included those fighting for greater civil rights, HUAC was finally moved to turn its attention to the right. Finally, this essay seeks to determine what it was, precisely, about the Klan in 1965 that was deemed “un-American” rather than simply criminal.

Abstract:
When a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan first arrived in Butte, Montana, in the summer of 1921, he placed an ad in the Butte Miner depicting a white-robed man astride a bucking horse. Borrowed from the publicity materials for D W. Griffith's groundbreaking film, The Birth of a Nation (1915), this image of a uniformed figure was a fixture of Klan propaganda. The advertisement faced two directions: it connected the newly formed Klan with its Reconstruction Era predecessor, while also demonstrating that the Klan imagined itself through the revisionist lens of Griffith's film and its textual inspiration, Thomas Dixon Jr.'s play and novel The Clansman (1905). The image of a white-robed Klansmen in the Butte Miner was thus a symbol of what Klan leaders and the popular media alike called the Klan's “revival,” the process through which the historical organization was brought to life in a new form.

Abstract:
Abstract: This essay argues that novelist Thomas Dixon Jr’s portrait of the Reconstruction Klan was heavily influenced by college fraternities, particularly the Kappa Alpha Order. Founded by Confederate veterans in 1865, Kappa Alpha fused ritualistic fraternalism with the myth of the Lost Cause. Dixon’s continued involvement with the Kappa Alpha Order, long after his college days, provided philosophical and aesthetic inspiration for his portrait of vigilante terrorists as white-robed Christian Knights. In his trilogy of Reconstruction novels— The Leopard’s Spots (1902) , The Clansman (1905), and The Traitor (1907)—Dixon seamlessly assimilated the iconography and culture of white college fraternities, thereby underscoring the power of these organizations as repositories for white supremacy and Confederate memory in the wake of the Civil War .

Abstract:
This archival study explores the life and work of Dr. Carrie Weaver Smith (1885–1942), a Progressive Era social worker and prison warden. Specifically, I explore the first phase of her career as a House Physician at the Virginia K. Johnson Home in Dallas, Texas (1911–1915) and as the first Superintendent of the Texas State Training School for Girls in Gainesville, Texas (1916–1925). Using archival research, I detail three conflicts that defined Dr. Smith’s superintendency: her fight to reclassify a youth prison as a school, her challenges to a Ku Klux Klan-dominated legislature, and her refusal to cede authority to a State Board of Control. Together, these conflicts led the Board to terminate Dr. Smith’s position, an outcome that would replay twice more before she retired from prisonwork. I argue that when most reformers made significant concessions, compromising their visions to maintain state funding and political allyship, Dr. Smith stood out for her record of refusal. And yet, like other reformers, she left Texas with the capacity to imprison more women and girls than ever before.

Abstract:
El nacimiento de una nación ha sido una de las películas más importantes en la historia del cine. Con ella se desarrollaron varias técnicas cinematográficas que contribuyeron para que en la segunda década del siglo XX el cine adquiriera unas características más elaboradas. David Wark Griffith fue quien produjo y presentó ante el público estadounidense en 1915 este polémico filme. En él se expusieron una serie de prejuicios racistas propios de la cultura blanca de su época que, de igual forma, trascenderían a través de todo el siglo XX y llegarían hasta la actualidad. El nacimiento estuvo dirigida a un público blanco, protestante, clase media y, al menos potencialmente, simpatizante del grupo extremista Ku Klux Klan, sobre el que está basado buena parte la cinta. En cuanto al público afroamericano, este expresó de forma masiva su incomodidad ante una representación del negro que los degradaba política, histórica y moralmente. Este escrito tiene como propósito analizar esta obra que, según algunos autores, ha sido una de las más controversiales de la historia.

Abstract:
This study analyzes the rise of the 1920s Ku Klux Klan in Dallas, Texas, in the context of the national Klan. It looks at the circumstances and people behind the revival of the Klan in 1915. It chronicles the aggressive marketing program that brought the Klan to Dallas and shows how the Dallas Klavern then changed the course of the national Klan with its emphasis on politics. Specifically, this was done through the person of Hiram Wesley Evans, Dallas dentist and aspiring intellectual, who engineered a coup and took over the national Klan operations in 1922. Evans, as did Dallas's local Klavern number 66, emphasized a strong anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic ideology to recruit, motivate, and justify the existence of the Ku Klux Klan. The study finds that, on the local scene, the Dallas Klavern's leadership was composed of middle and upper-middle class businessmen. Under their leadership, the Klan engaged in a variety of fraternal and vigilante activities. Most remarkable, however, were its successful political efforts. Between 1922 and 1924, the Klan overthrew the old political hierarchy and controlled city and county politics to such a degree that only the Dallas school board escaped the Invisible Empire's domination. Klavern 66 also wielded significant control of state Klan operations and worked vigorously and with some success to elect Klan officials at the state level. As the dissertation shows, all of this occurred in the face of heavy and organized opposition from political elites and those who opposed the Klan on principle. Finally, the dissertation looks at the complex combination of factors that brought the Klan's influence to an end. National scandals, internal squabbles, political failures, and longsuffering opposition from the mainstream press chipped away at the public's favorable impression of the Klan. Successful immigration restriction, an improving economy, and a lessening of post-war social tensions reduced the Klan's attractiveness. As a result, national and local Dallas membership dropped precipitously after 1924, and the Klan's dominance in local politics faded as well.

Abstract:
My Daddy's Farm is a work of fiction about Clement J. Jones, a man, my great-grandfather, who committed suicide on November 19, 1924. In the early nineteen-twenties, this family man was a well respected, wealthy citizen of his county who--like one-third of his peers--had an active membership in the Indiana Ku Klux Klan. The story is narrated in part by a slightly sympathetic omniscient narrator, but mainly by Hazel Louise Jones, his daughter, who was in her teens when the Klan swept across Indiana in the nineteen-twenties; she was sixteen when her father committed suicide on November 19th, 1924.I have used three variations in this writing, based loosely on the style Gloria Naylor uses in Mama Day. These variations are characterized by the titles of their respective sections: "Our Spring," "Our Farm," "Our Family," and "Our Shame" are all narrated in first person, past tense, by Hazel Jones, Clement's sixteen year old daughter who is speaking as a representative of her family; "Clement J. Jones" and "Hazel Louise Jones" are written in third person, limited omniscient narration; and, "To Margaret," and "To Daddy" sections are present tense, with second person narration from Hazel Jones. Starting with "Our Shame," the story is punctuated by "Document" selections posted at the close of each chapter. These documents are nonfiction: they are news articles taken directly from the Indianapolis Star, the Williamsport Review-Republican, and the Williamsport Pioneer dated 1922, 1923, and 1924; and, they are papers taken out of the "United Klans of America" collection located in the Archives and Special Collections department of Bracken Library, Ball State University.Among sources listed on page 71 of this document, there are a few that were most helpful in providing details about the Indiana Klan: Anti Movements in America, edited by Gerald N. Grob, which reprints "Papers Read at the Meeting of Grand Dragons Knights of the Ku Klux Klan at their First Annual Meeting held at Asheville, North Carolina, July 1923"; and Women of the Klan, by Kathleen M. Blee. Exceptionally helpful was William Lutholtz's Grand Dragon, a well researched work of non-fiction about D.C. Stephenson's rise to power in the Indiana Klan and the development of the Indiana Klan.Three works of fiction especially provided creative direction for this thesis: Mama Day, by Gloria Naylor; Alias Grace, by Margaret Atwood; and, In the Lake of the Woods, by Tim OBrien.

Abstract:
The early 1920s are generally described as a period of transition for American society. Many forces of change collided to create an unsettled atmosphere that appeared to threaten traditional American ideas and values. After World War I, the United States fostered a climate of anti-Catholicism and nativism out of fear that foreign ideas spelled the demise of traditional American values. These ideas were certainly not new to American culture as anti-Catholic sentiments figured prominently throughout the founding of the nation. During the early 1920s, however, a resurrected Ku Klux Klan promoted itself as the protector of American institutions. It won recruits with an identity as a secret society for white, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant citizens. The organization also exploited the political issues of the day to ingratiate itself within communities across the nation.

Abstract:
Denna C-uppsats bär titeln ”Det står i Bibeln”: Ku Klux Klan och religion över tid och är skriven av Marcus Karlsson. Studien belyser Ku Klux Klans utveckling från bildandet under 1800-talet till 2000-talets början, med hänseende till deras religiösa ståndpunkt i en värld av skiftande religiositet. De frågeställningar som bearbetas ämnar besvara hur Ku Klux Klan motiverar sina åsikter och existens utifrån en teologisk ideologi. Syftet är även att belysa deras ursprungliga förhållande till religion och religiösa institutioner samt eventuell utveckling som har skett över tid. Metoden som har använts i försök att besvara dessa frågor är litteraturstudier. Resultatet visar på att Ku Klux Klans ursprungliga åsikter var väl förankrade i det amerikanska samhällets och den kristna kyrkans värderingar men har över tid förpassats till marginalen. De har gått från att företräda en allmän teologisk hållning till att bli en anhängare av alternativa bibeltolkningar.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the Ku Klux Klan’s influence in the state and its focus on black migrants. Organized in the 1920s, as part of the second Klan, California’s Invisible Empire sought to purge what members saw as un-American elements. By the 1940s the state’s Klan had an explicit focus on black homeowners; cross burnings and arson became commonplace, and a coalition of activists pushed local and state authority for protection that rarely materialized. The 1945 murder of the family of O’Day Short, an engineer at the Kaiser Steel mill in Fontana, marked the beginning of a terrifying wave of violence specifically aimed at families like the Shorts who had dared to cross the color line

This chapter explores segregation in Gettysburg, examining how racial discrimination in employment, housing, and education functioned in this iconic community. In addition to revealing how Civil War Memory was frequently utilized to underscore and justify discrimination, it also provides a blueprint for understanding the workings of northern segregation in small and mid-size communities. The chapter includes significant discussion of a large-scale 1925 Ku Klux Klan rally; the establishment of black Civilian Conservation Corps camps on the battlefield during the Great Depression; segregation in public accommodations during the 1950s; and initial attempts by local civil rights activists to challenge Jim Crow.

Abstract:
To understand the major themes in Homer Rodeheaver’s life, the authors examine the highpoint of American revivalism, Billy Sunday’s 1917 campaign in Atlanta. Forced into segregated meetings during the Jim Crow era, Rodeheaver attempted to diffuse a difficult situation by organizing a mass choir from black churches, featuring spirituals and community singing. Occurring at the cusp of World War I, the meetings broadly influenced Thomas A. Dorsey, the family of Martin Luther King Jr., and the next generation of evangelicals. The moment illustrates Rodeheaver’s advocacy of black music for white congregations, but it also reveals Billy Sunday’s refusal to condemn racial segregation or the Ku Klux Klan. The tensions would continue for much of Rodeheaver’s life.

Abstract:
Abstract The Second Klan in Wider Perspective. This story should convince us of one thing: that there are not two Germanys, a good one and a bad one, but only one. . . . Wicked Germany is merely good Germany gone astray, good Germany in misfortune, in guilt, and ruin. For that reason it is quite impossible for one born there simply to renounce the wicked, guilty Germany and to declare, “I am the good, the noble, the just Germany in the white robe; I leave it to you to exterminate the wicked one.” The Klan never did become strong enough to attempt in Ohio what it had in Georgia. Within a decade of its founding, the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was on the wane. Nationally, the Klan’s power crested in the years 1924 and 1925. With state and local variations, it began to flag thereafter. By 1926, observers around the country were reporting smaller numbers and dwindling influence.2 Following a brief revival when Catholic New Yorker Al Smith ran for President, the decline became terminal in 1928. A later, short-lived resuscitation in the mid-’thirties proved insufficient to keep creditors at bay. With initiation and dues receipts dwindling, Klan officers sold the Imperial Palace in 1936. Eight years later, the order quietly dissolved, unable to pay the taxes it had evaded over the years.

Abstract:
In Mississippi and around the world, racial and ethnic identification has been used to justify segregation, fear, misunderstanding, hatred, and violence. In 1922, the Ku Klux Klan rode on horseback along Main Street in front of Pruitt’s studio, and he documented that. In 1933 and 1934, Pruitt photographed two of Mississippi’s last legal executions by rope hanging outside the Lowndes County Courthouse; Black men were convicted of killing white people. The district attorney in both cases was John C. Stennis, who would serve as US senator for more than four decades (1947–89) and become a prominent Democrat in the battles over integration. In July 1935, the Lowndes County sheriff called Pruitt to come photograph the bodies of two Black farmers, Bert Moore and Dooley Morton, who were lynched by three dozen white men in a Black churchyard. Two decades later, Pruitt would photograph Black dentist Emmett J. Stringer, who was president of the Mississippi chapter of the National Association for Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). His visible NAACP leadership made him a target for Klan harassment—and assassination plots. NAACP colleagues already had been killed under mysterious circumstances.

Abstract:
The Brazilian police killed 16 people per day in 2017 and 3/4 of the victims were black people. Recently, a Brazilian called Evaldo Rosa dos Santos, father, worker, musician, and black, was killed in Rio de Janeiro with 80 rifle bullets shot by the police. Everyday, the statistics and the news show that the police uses more force when dealing with black people and it seems obvious that, in Brazil, the state bullet uses to find a black skin to rest. Unfortunately, the brutal force and violence by the state and the police to black people is not a problem only in this country. It is a global reality that led to the creation of an international movement called Black Lives Matter (BLM), a movement against all types of racism towards the black people specially by the police and the state. The BLM movement also aims to connect black people of the entire world against the violence and for justice. In our work, we try to establish a link between the reality of black people in Brazil with the culture of black people around the world, connecting people and artists to perform a tribute to the black lives harved by the state force. For this, the piece uses web content, news, pictures, YouTube’s videos, and more, to create a collage of visual and musical environment merged with expressive movements of a dance, combining technology and gestures. Black culture beyond violence because we believe that black lives matter. such as the Ku Klux Klan, which bring the black population of the world into concern for possible setbacks in their rights. In Brazil, it is not different. Brazil is the non African country with the biggest afro descendant population in the world and one of the last country in the world to abolish slavery. Nowadays, a black person is 3 times more propense to be killed and most part of the murders in the country happened to afro Brazilians. Marielle Franco, a black city councillor from Rio, the only black female representative and one of seven women on the 51-seat council was killed in 2018. The killers were two former policeman. According to Human Rights Watch, the police force in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, killed more than 8,000 people between 2005 and 2015, 3/4 of them were black men. At the same time, the African culture strongly influenced the Brazilian culture and most part of the traditional Brazilian music and rhythms can be considered black music.
