An Analysis of Masonic Dual Membership with the Ku Klux Klan THE KLAN AND THE CRAFT: AN ANALYSIS OF MASONIC DUAL MEMBERSHIP WITH THE KU KLUX KLAN IN DALLAS, 1920 – 1926 by Shaun David Henry APPROVED BY SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: _________________________________________ Dr. Michael L. Wilson, Chair _________________________________________ Dr. John C. Gooch _________________________________________ Dr. Edward J. Harpham Copyright 2017 Shaun David Henry All Rights Reserved For my Wife: The person who has endured long days and nights with our three young children during my absence for research, analysis, and writing. It has been a long and hard journey, but I thank you for your patience, support, and sacrifice! For the Craft: Though the path to enlightenment is often a rough a rugged road, exploring the history of Freemasonry on a micro level is a task I challenge each of you with. Understanding the philosophy, religion and mysteries is one thing. However, without an understanding of the history of the fraternity, its successes and its failures, enlightenment will have its limits. THE KLAN AND THE CRAFT: AN ANALYSIS OF MASONIC DUAL MEMBERSHIP WITH THE KU KLUX KLAN IN DALLAS, 1920 – 1926 by Shaun David Henry, BA THESIS Presented to the Faculty of The University of Texas at Dallas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT DALLAS December 2017 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank my professors Dr. Natalie Ring and Dr. Michael Wilson of The University of Texas at Dallas. My first class in graduate school was a course titled The Ku Klux Klan in the Twentieth Century with a focus on Dallas taught by Dr. Ring. From that moment, I knew exactly what this paper would be about. She inspired me to explore a history of Dallas that, as a native Dallasite, I had never known about. Dr. Wilson’s dedicated assistance in addition to hours upon hours of revisions in preparation for the final draft of this paper has been invaluable and I am grateful for his support. Very special thanks must go to the fraternity of Freemasonry in the Dallas area, District 14. Without the access to your archives this would not have been possible. To all the Secretaries, Past Masters, and Brothers I have met during this journey, it has been an honor and a privilege to get to know all of you and establish new friendships. I also would like to thank Brothers Kevin Keith Main and Robert Brian Cook. First, to Kevin whose knowledge of Freemasonry, both past and present, is unparalleled. The stories he presented to me years ago regarding this subject were so intriguing that it, in conjunction with Dr. Ring’s class, was enough to light the spark inside of me to attempt the exploration of this subject far beyond what anyone else has been able to in the City of Dallas. To Brian who has been a friend and mentor to me. He would listen to me talk about this subject for days on end regardless if he was interested or not. He also gave me insight on how to proceed, who to talk to, or what questions to ask myself and consider while conducting research. Mark Morris deserves special thanks for generously loaning me his research from his dissertation which provided a wealth of information including sources that would have been v difficult for me to obtain. Thank you for your time and insight into a subject whose scholarship you helped advance many years ago. Thanks, must also go to Dr. Miguel Hernandez. Our correspondence over the last year has been invaluable. He has provided me with resources he used for this topic and allowed me access to some of his own research as well. It taught me data analysis and organization, which was the foundation for the lists created for this project. Finally, I must express a profound gratitude to the one person who has made the ultimate sacrifice so that this paper could be produced, my wife Emmy. She has stuck with me through some of the hardest times in our lives. The addition of twins to our family in March of 2016 meant that this process was to become much more difficult and she has borne the brunt of child rearing and other responsibilities during this endeavor. She listened to me carry on about my findings regardless if she was really interested or just humoring me. The stacks of books and papers lying everywhere added more clutter to the house which, with three kids, was not easy to manage. She is the strongest person I know and deserves all the time I can give her when this paper is complete. Thank you. December 2017 vi THE KLAN AND THE CRAFT: AN ANALYSIS OF MASONIC DUAL MEMBERSHIP WITH THE KU KLUX KLAN IN DALLAS, 1920 – 1926 Shaun D. Henry, MA The University of Texas at Dallas, 2017 Supervising Professor: Dr. Michael L. Wilson This analysis examines and builds upon the work of Miguel Hernandez, professor of History and a Fraternal Studies scholar at the University of Exeter in England, by building a comprehensive dual membership list of Dallas Masons who were members of Klavern No. 66 between 1921 and 1926. In 2014, he published Fighting Fraternities: The Ku Klux Klan and Freemasonry in the 1920’s in which he studied dual membership within two Klaverns in the United States, Anaheim, California and Dallas, Texas. Dr. Hernandez, Adam Kendall, former Collections Manager for the Henry W. Coil Library & Museum of Freemasonry at the Grand Lodge of California, and Kristofer Allerfeldt, also from the University of Exeter, are the pioneers of this topic and have laid the foundation for further research to be conducted in this field. This examination will look at Freemasonry and the Klan in Dallas. It will explore the Grand Lodge of Texas’ response to the infiltration of the Klan into Masonic Lodges in Texas and in Dallas and how the Dallas Masonic lodges responded to the Grand Master. A dual membership list was created using the Grand Lodge of Texas Proceedings of 1920 to 1926 and cross referenced with Klan documents to determine a wide range of statistical information to help understand the type of men joining both vii organizations. The ability to determine dual membership was examined by analyzing three documents identifying Klansmen; The Dallas Dispatch list in May of 1922, the Special Examination audit of the Kolossal Karnival in Dallas, June of 1924 both located at the Dallas Historical Society, and the Klan Police list from the papers of Earle B. Cabell at the Degolyer Library at Southern Methodist University. Matching the names on these lists with Masonic rosters from lodges in the Dallas area then cross referencing them with the Dallas City Directories from the Dallas Public Library has allowed for the identification of either dual members or supporters of the Klan within the Masonic lodges. Using the comprehensive list, and analyzing the minutes of Dallas lodges allows for a glimpse into what these men were doing in the lodges and how Masonic lodges and its members responded to their attendance. Examining these documents provides a background for a much more detailed examination of dual membership between the two dominant fraternities in Dallas during the 1920’s, and opens up a microcosm of historical analysis never seen concerning the Ku Klux Klan and the Freemasons. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS………………………………………………………………………...v ABSTRACT……………………………………………………………………………………..vii LIST OF FIGURES……………………………………………………………………………….x LIST OF TABLES………………………………………………………………………………..xi INTRODUCTION….…………………………………………………………………………….1 CHAPTER 1: DALLAS FREEMASONRY AND FRATERNALISM ON THE EVE OF THE KLAN……………………………………………………………………………13 CHAPTER 2: THE GRAND MASTER’S MESSAGE AND THE VOTE………………,,,……30 CHAPTER 3: THE LISTS……………………………………………………………………….46 CHAPTER 4: DUAL MEMBERSHIP IN DALLAS………………………………..…………..70 CHAPTER 5: THE DEMISE OF THE KLAN AND THE AFTERMATH……..……………..115 APPENDIX A……………………………………………………………………………...…...127 APPENDIX B…………………………………………………………………………………..128 APPENDIX C…………………………………………………………………………………..132 BIBLIOGRAPHY…………………………………………………………………………..…..133 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH………….......................................................................................141 CURRICULUM VITAE………………………………………………………………………..142 ix LIST OF FIGURES 1.1 Program for Klan recruitment play at the Shrine Convention April 8, 1921……………..….26 1.2 Rice University Yearbook - Class of 1922…………………………………………….….…28 2.1 Andrew L.

Cotton was still king, but it was quickly being replaced by the banking and oil industries. Dallas was geographically situated so well that its population had reached 189,244 people. It was fast becoming a distribution center for the nation as well as a major trading post. Because of a vast railroad network, Dallas was the largest inland cotton market in the world with 1.5 million bales in a single season.

The information which it contains has been compiled chiefly from the Masonic records in the archives of Philip C. Tucker, for free and frequent access to which the author is indebted to the widow and family of the late Grand Cornpiander. The only virtue that is claimed for this work is its cor- rect portrayal of the life of the Rite in Texas. The author, himself, at the time of writing, the oldest thirty-third de- gree Honorary Scottish Rite Mason in Texas, has drawn readily upon his more or less extensive fund of informa- tion concerning the Rite in this State, not for the purpose of writing down his recollections or beliefs concerning its establishment and progress, but merely for the sugges- tion of lines of investigation that carefully and definitely pursued might lead to the acquisition of data about the authenticity of which there could be no shadow of doubt. More than twelve months were spent in this undertak- ing. The author visited frequently the several Consis- tories of Texas and going once to Washington to examine the records of the Supreme Council for information un- obtainable here.

  • Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman's Town
    Roads to Destruction: Postwar Urban Redevelopment and North Dallas Freedman’s Town by Cynthia Lewis Like most American cities following World War II, Dallas entered a period of economic prosperity, and city leaders, like their counterparts throughout the nation, sought to maximize that prosperity through various urban renewal initiatives.1 Black urban communities across the country, branded as blighted areas, fell victim to the onslaught of postwar urban redevelopment as city leaders initiated massive renewal projects aimed at both bolstering the appeal and accessibility of the urban center and clearing out large sections of urban black neighborhoods. Between the years 1943 and 1983, Dallas city officials directed a series of massive redevelopment projects that decimated each of the city’s black communities, displacing thousands and leaving these communities in a state of disarray.2 This paper, which focuses on the historically black Dallas community of North Dallas, argues that residential segregation, which forced the growth and evolution of North Dallas, ultimately led to the development of slum conditions that made North Dallas a target for postwar slum clearance projects which only served to exacerbate blight within the community. Founded in 1869 by former slaves, North Dallas, formerly known as Freedman’s Town, is one of the oldest black neighborhoods in Dallas.3 Located just northeast of downtown and bounded by four cemeteries to the north and white-owned homes to the south, east, and west, the area became the largest and most densely populated black settlement in the city. Residential segregation played a pivotal role in the establishment and evolution of North Dallas, as it did with most black urban communities across the country.4 Racial segregation in Dallas, with its roots in antebellum, began to take 1 For an in-depth analysis of the United States’ postwar economy, see Postwar Urban America: Demography, Economics, and Social Policies by John F.

  • The Ku Klux Klan in American Politics
    L I B RARY OF THE UN IVERSITY OF ILLINOIS "R3GK. cop. 2. r ILLINOIS HISTORY SURVEY LIBRARY The Ku Klux Klan In American Politics By ARNOLD S. RICE INTRODUCTION BY HARRY GOLDEN Public Affairs Press, Washington, D. C. TO ROSE AND DAVE, JESSIE AND NAT -AND, OF COURSE, TO MARCIA Copyright, 1962, by Public Affairs Press 419 New Jersey Avenue, S. E., Washington 3, D.C. Printed in the United States of America Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-8449 Ste3 >. V INTRODUCTION There is something quite frightening about this book. It is not so much that Dr. Rice recounts some of the brutalities and excesses of the Ku Klux Klan or even that he measures the intelligence of those who led the cross-burners as wanting; indeed, those of us who lived through the "kleagling" of the 1920's remember that the Klansmen, while not men, weren't boys either. What is frightening is the amount of practical action the successors to the Klan have learned from it. They have learned not only from the Klan's mistakes but from the Klan's successes. Fortunately, neither the John Birch Society nor the White Citizens Councils nor the revivified Klan nor the McCarthyites have learned well enough to grasp ultimate power. All of them, however, have learned enough so that they are more than an annoyance to the democratic process. Just how successful was the Klan? It never played a crucial role in a national election. The presence of Klansmen on the floor of a national political convention often succeeded in watering down the anti-Klan plank but national candidates, if they chose, could casti- gate the Klan at will.

Wood iii Copyright © 2019 Kelly Clayton iv ABSTRACT FROM MIDWAY TO MAINSTAGE: DALLAS STRIPTEASE 1946-1960 Kelly Clayton, MA Texas A&M University-Commerce, 2019 Advisor: Jessica Brannon-Wranosky PhD The entertainment landscape of post-World War II Dallas, Texas included striptease in different types of venues. Travelling and local striptease acts performed at the city’s annual fair and in several nightclubs in the city. In the late 1940s, the fair featured striptease as the headlining act, and one of the city’s newspapers, the Dallas Morning News, described the dancers as the most popular attraction of the largest fair in the United States. Further, the newspaper reporting congratulated the men who ran the fair for providing Texans with these popular entertainment options. The dancers who performed at the fair also showcased their talents at area nightclubs to mixed gender audiences. Dallas welcomed striptease as an acceptable form of entertainment. However, in the early 1950s, the tone and tenor of the striptease coverage changed. The State Fair of Texas executives decried striptease as “soiled” and low-class. Dancers performed in nightclubs, but the newspaper began to report on one particular entertainer, Candy Barr, and her many tangles with law enforcement.

  • The Three Great Lights
    The Three Great Lights By WBro. Wayne Spring Beacon Court Lodge 1967 – IPM and Lodge Mentor Pentangle Lodge 1174 - JD East Kent Masters Lodge 3931 - Steward Norman Chapter 3502 – Principal Sojourner Word count: 1,540 THE THREE GREAT LIGHTS The Three Great Lights the fundamental objects in Freemasonry. To the uninitiated this bears no meaning; to a brother a way of life. Their importance is highlighted when the Worshipful Master directs attention to the Three Great Lights in Freemasonry, the VSL, The Square and the Compasses. The most important of these is the Volume of the Sacred Law1,2 an indispensable part of the Lodge. The open Bible signifies that we should regulate our conduct according to it. The teachings are to rule and guide our faith, a symbol of man's acknowledgment of his relationship to Deity. Upon the formation of the United Grand Lodge of England, the first ‘Constitution’ detailed the important relationship in the ‘Aims and Relations of the Craft’3. Without familiarisation to the BoC4, a brother understands the importance of the VSL from the ritual. A newly made brother is not presented a copy of the BoC until the end of the initiation degree. During the ceremony he will be informed that “It teaches us the important duties we owe to God, to our neighbour and to ourselves.5” The candidate is informed that it is the unerring standard of Truth and Justice and that it is to rule and govern our faith. 1 Hereinafter referred to as the VSL. 2 No matter what religion 3 The first condition of admission into, and membership of, the Order is belief in the Supreme Being; the Bible, the Volume of the Sacred Law, is always open in Lodges.

  • ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” the Ku Klux Klan in Mclennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Me
    ABSTRACT “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924. Richard H. Fair, M.A. Mentor: T. Michael Parrish, Ph.D. This thesis examines the culture of McLennan County surrounding the rise of the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920s and its influence in central Texas. The pervasive violent nature of the area, specifically cases of lynching, allowed the Klan to return. Championing the ideals of the Reconstruction era Klan and the “Lost Cause” mentality of the Confederacy, the 1920s Klan incorporated a Protestant religious fundamentalism into their principles, along with nationalism and white supremacy. After gaining influence in McLennan County, Klansmen began participating in politics to further advance their interests. The disastrous 1922 Waco Agreement, concerning the election of a Texas Senator, and Felix D. Robertson’s gubernatorial campaign in 1924 represent the Klan’s first and last attempts to manipulate politics. These failed endeavors marked the Klan’s decline in McLennan County and Texas at large. “The Good Angel of Practical Fraternity:” The Ku Klux Klan in McLennan County, 1915-1924 by Richard H.

  • Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas
    ORAL HISTORY OF BONTON AND IDEAL NEIGHBORHOODS IN DALLAS, TEXAS Briana Payne Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: Andrew Nelson, Committee Chair Beverly Ann Davenport, Committee Member Matthew Durington, Committee Member Lisa Henry, Chair of the Department of Anthropology Costas Tsatsoulis, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Payne, Briana. Oral History of Bonton and Ideal Neighborhoods in Dallas, Texas. Master of Arts (Applied Anthropology), December 2015, 145 pp., 3 tables, 67 figures, references, 223 titles. The Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in Dallas Texas, developed in the early 1900s, experienced physical and social decay throughout the 1980s. Neighborhood organizations and resident activism were vital to the rebirth of the community in the 1990s. Current revitalization efforts taking place there have been a source of contention as the neighborhood continues to overcome inequalities created by decades of racialized city planning initiatives. This thesis focuses on how the structuring structure of whiteness has historically affected, and continues to affect, the neighborhoods of Ideal and Bonton, as well as acts to identify how black residents have navigated their landscape and increased their collective capital through neighborhood activism. Copyright 2015 By Briana Payne ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank the Neighborhood Investment Program for providing me with the opportunity to work with them as they continue to improve the Bonton and Ideal neighborhoods in South Dallas. Without their acknowledgement of the importance of conserving the history of this community, I would not have been able to share the important life stories of the residents.
