The second half of the title for this book is misleading. Yes, a white woman brought down DC Stephenson—a man with strong roots in the KKK…but not in the way you think. If I say more, I‘ll give it away. Remember: privilege.

This is the story the KKK‘s rise to prominence in the state of Indiana and throughout the US and the crime and subsequent court case that resulted in the high-water mark for the organization‘s power and influence. This is American history that everyone should know, but that no one learns in school. I was left wondering, if it wasn‘t for Grand Dragon D.C. Stephenson‘s violent and criminal behavior, how much more power would the Klan have amassed?

JoeMo Since reading this, I‘ve added a number of Egan‘s other works to my TBR! @Amiable and @monalyisha I‘m still chipping away at that golden #auldlangespine list. #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks (edited) 1w
Amiable If you‘re looking for others, definitely read this one, too —it‘s my favorite of Egan‘s: (edited) 1w

It is unclear if Bowles is for or against these thoughts? She is not being very clear.

GingerAntics Being expected to show up to work on time is white supremacist? I need some clarification immediately. 2mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie Stimming gets you fired all the time... mostly white autistic people... but it‘s racist to be against stimming? THIS DOESN‘T MAKE ANY SENSE!!! What is she saying? What is she talking about? 2mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie now there are baby names that are white supremacist? I‘m either going to need her to get to the point, or I‘m going to have to choose between day drinking and DNFing this one. What is happening? BLM is fading? She is just all over the place. 2mo
TheBookHippie @GingerAntics she‘s just mad I think. People aren‘t perfect, activist aren‘t perfect. A bunch of imperfect people must ban together, look in the mirror maybe instead of writing a book attacking everyone 🤷🏻‍♀️ (edited) 2mo
GingerAntics @TheBookHippie yeah, this is very much angry rant. There isn‘t an argument to be seen anywhere. 2mo

I was able to attend a lecture and book signing with authors Timothy Egan last week. It was excellent! It focused on the painful topic of the KKK and racism in Indiana, he handled the topic beautifully. Later that weekend I visited a new mural in our city dedicated to Madge, the brave woman who brought DC Stephenson down with her testimony before she died.
