Best of 2018 – Resources for the Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania

Posted By on December 19, 2018

During 2018, two posts were presented here which named several resources that are useful for further study of the Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania:

The Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania – Some Sources of Information

The Ku Klux Klan in Pennsylvania – More Sources of Information


This post is part of the reporting on hate groups that were active in the Lykens Valley area in the years following the Civil War.  It was a widely known fact that the Ku Klux Klan had a significant presence in the Lykens Valley and adjacent valleys during the early years of the 20th Century.  This iteration of the Klan was strongly white supremacist and was opposed to equal rights for African Americans, Catholics, Jews, and immigrants.
