  • The Ku Klux Klan in 1920S Massachusetts
    2 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2019 3 EDITOR'S CHOICE The Ku Klux Klan in 1920s Massachusetts MARK PAUL RICHARD Editor's Introduction: HJM is proud to select as our Editor’s Choice Award for this issue Mark Paul Richard’s timely, illuminating and sobering study, Not a Catholic Nation: The Ku Klux Klan Confronts New England in the 1920s (2015) published by the University of Massachusetts Press. Richard breaks new ground in terms of both the thoroughness of his research and the arguments he makes. In the book’s concluding paragraph he suggests that, in order to effectively address the resurgence of racist, nativist and anti-immigrant prejudices today, we must “recognize the importance of the Ku Klux Klan in earlier historical periods, particularly the 1920s, when so many ordinary Americans joined the organization to form one of the largest social movements the country has ever experienced.” Although “the Klan’s presence in New England does not currently form part of the historical memory of most Americans,” Richard writes, the prejudices expressed through the KKK “continue to find expression in contemporary society, even if Historical Journal of Massachusetts, Vol. 47 (1), Winter 2019 © Institute for Massachusetts Studies, Westfield State University 4 Historical Journal of Massachusetts • Winter 2019 refashioned and exploited by groups who were themselves previously targeted.” He concludes that “only by understanding and acknowledging the KKK’s activities in New England . during the 1920s can we begin to confront the persistent cultural prejudices of modern society” (206-07). Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every Southern state by 1870 and became a potent vehicle for white Southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing a modicum of political and economic equality for African Americans.
