  1. Discussing the Illustration • This photo shows thousands of members of one organization marching in a parade. Can you tell from their white robes what organization they belong to?

  2. 2. In the 1920s, the KKK directed its hatred not only at African Americans, but also at Jews, Catholics, and other immigrant groups. From what you know about the early 1900s, why do you think the KKK included these groups in its attacks in the 1920s?

  3. 3. Unlike today, the KKK in the 1920s was a huge group with millions of members– and not just in the South. Why do you think this group’s hateful ideas about blacks, Jews, Catholics, and immigrants had such wide appeal in those years?

  4. The “new” Klan • Emerged again in the South and West • Harassed blacks, Jews, Catholics, and all “foreigners” • 4.5 million Americans joined the KKK in the early 1920s. • Targeted sympathizers too.
