Event Details

Join us for an evening of Colorado history! To celebrate Colorado History Month, we'll host a live chat while streaming the Rocky Mountain PBS documentary, KKK. While watching the documentary, you can chat with PPLD's Special Collections staff.

KKK, 28 minutes

From the Grand Dragon to known KKK appointees in the police, mayor and governor offices, Colorado once had the 2nd largest Ku Klux Klan membership in the United States. Discover the sordid history of the KKK in Colorado and the impact they had on Catholics, Jews and African Americans in early 1920s, and the courageous individuals who fought against their establishment.

Space is limited, so register in advance! There's no cost to participate; all registrants will receive a Zoom link and instructions (via email) in advance.
