Abstract:
|
This study was initiated in an attempt to
discover the events surrounding the growth and
development of the Ku Klux Klan in the state of
California and to determine the extent of Klan
political strength and influence during the early 1920's.
Much has been written about the twenties and the role
of the Klan in the historical events of that time.
However, the state of California has been almost
completely ignored in this respect. Those who write
history, and the Klan's role in it, have either determined
that a discussion of the development of the Ku
Klux Klan in California does not merit extensive
coverage or else they have been unwilling or unable to
do the research necessary to properly discuss this topic.
Whatever the reason, a perusal of the literature has
revealed a shocking void which needs to be filled. This
study makes no pretense of being the final, authoritative
word on the subject. It is hoped, however, that it may
provide a sort of initial step in that direction. |
