segregation, jim crow, lynching and the ku klux klan.se are for landmark democratic party policies after slavery. now come again it may seem like it's a exaggeration. well, wait a minute every segregation law without exception was passed by a democratic legislature and signed by democratic governor. there is no exception to this rule. the clan was founded by the delegate to the democratic national convention and 430 years the ku klux klan and served as domestic terrorist arm of the democratic party. this is not my way of putting it. progressive historian, i'm courting him from one of his books on reconstruction, the clan in fact had a revival in the early 20th century on account of woodrow wilson who showed a pro- ku klux klan movie in the white house called birth of a nation. that revived the clan not only in the south, but also in the midwest and the west. in the 20th century the democrats became the party of forced sterilization, eugenics and darwinism and later progressivism became it meant a morphed into a new kind of camp. now, i m

this is a ku klux klan banner. this is from the 1920's. as you know, the clan really began after the civil war. it goes underground and then it bursts new as a result of the film, the birth of a nation. the clan becomes a national phenomenon in the 20's and 30's. this banner is the kind of thing that people would use to investment and participation in the ku klux klan. these are the kind of things we have to make sure we tell the painful story as well. one of the things that is interesting to me is to recognize that so much of what shapes a community's work. we found to make sure things that would give people a understanding of the way black americans worked. one of the most important stories that it's often not understood is the story of this. this is a wonderful hat. we have come to a point where pullman porters were seen in a stereotypical way as people who only served. word --ed on the rare railroad to make the travel more comfortable. they played a more important role. they were the communicative heart of the african-american communit
