pickThe facts of American white supremacy with necessary honesty, asking white people to take ownership and work toward doing better. I got the companion journal to allow some thoughtful reflection.
pickThe 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.
pickThis 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?
It is unclear if Bowles is for or against these thoughts? She is not being very clear.
