The second Klan movement in Champaign-Urbana spanned several years at its height in the 1920s. There is a great deal of activity and primary sources for how it acted as a hub for area Klans in towns throughout Champaign County, other counties, regions, and States. This activity will be broken in up in several posts linked below. Future posts will supplement this series:
