Klan Rally Tonight! bring your own sheet.

tonight on History Detectives

wow!

The Case:

The titles on a 78rpm record startled our contributor, Jan Hazel of Tennessee. The A-side reads “The Bright Fiery Cross,” and the B-side reads “The Jolly Old Klansman.”

She came across the collection of 1920s records which came with a Victrola phonograph she bought at an Indiana antique store. The record sleeve is stamped with an Indianapolis address and the name “AMERICAN RECORD SHOP –All K.K.K. Records.” Jan has never heard of K.K.K. Records. She asks History Detectives host Tukufu Zuberi to track down the story behind this record.

i have always strived to raise my children and to live my life to think of race as no more important than the color of ones eyes. i've always been outspoken about being against affirmative action because it's reverse discrimination, etc until i came out of a store once when they were tweens and i slammed the door and said "i've changed my mind about affirmative action...i'm now realizing how necessary it is".

it was martin luther king day and the owner of this convenience market and his cronies were sitting around laughing about it being ______ Day. everyone should have opportunities. really pissed me off. that's what the guy looked like, sitting down in this picture.
