Episode 14 Part II: The Ku Klux Klan
CW: Discussion of racism, white supremacy, organized hate groups, and historical violence. There are no graphic descriptions, but the themes may be heavy, especially for Black listeners, Indigenous listeners, and other people of color who live with the ongoing impacts of this history. Listener discretion is encouraged.
In part two of this series, we explore the history of the Ku Klux Klan and the cultural conditions that allowed it to take root and return again and again. Tracing its evolution from Reconstruction through modern-day iterations, this episode looks at how fear, belief, and myth, shaped by propaganda, religion, and popular culture, turned violence into something framed as moral and patriotic.
This episode asks what the Klan’s history reveals about how hate organizes itself, and how unexamined belief can harden into systems.
