A Dark Reminder of What American Society Has Been and Could Be Again by Annette Gordon-Reed

Annette Gordon-Reed

President Trump’s immigration approach and policies are tapping into U.S. history.  The New Yorker in A Dark Reminder of What American Society Has Been and Could Be Again by Annette Gordon-Reed reminds us how an obsessive hatred of immigrants and people of color and deep-seated fears about the empowerment of women led to the Klan’s rule in Indiana.   Indiana truly was ruled by the Klan and its hate of immigrants in the 1920s.
