RETURN OF THE KKK!
The klu klux klan is back in the south, and hungrier than before. The last time we saw the kkk, was during reconstruction. Apparently the klu klux klan has been back since 1915 and was revived by a protestant nativist man in Atlanta Georgia. Now that the klan is back, their not just against Negros anymore, they’re against roman Catholics, jews, foreigners, immigrants, and organized union laborers. Part of the reason that the klan is after more minorities now, especially immigrants, is because the hostility held against immigrants in fear of communism. Because of this common fear, more people are agreeing with the ways of the klan. The klan is gaining more support now in 1920, than it ever has before. The klan has been holding rallies, parades, and marches around the country with quite a turnout. During this year the klan has reached a peak of 4 million members nationwide.
A poem about return of the kkk
I take deep breath and sigh in relief
Glad to see there is no one hunting for me and my family
I felt free until 1915 had approached me
I feel the cold and dry breeze of them hunting for me and my family
Now my neighbors too
For those who aren’t white, their ready to shoot
With no remorse or care
They're coming for the Jews and Catholics too
Their army bigger than ever now that were in the 1920s
We all need to be cautious and tell the immigrants that their coming
Yes for them too
Didn’t I tell you they ready to shoot?
I don't know why we're scared
Cause we been through it too
We did it once and we can do it again
We must face the fear of the basic white man with the gun his hand
