Still with us

In February, the Kansas Humanities Council, providing background to a current, traveling Smithsonian Institution exhibit, posted a description of a 1925 baseball game in Wichita in which the professional, all-black Wichita Monrovians took on members of the local Ku Klux Klan. (Historians guessed that the KKK risked the embarrassment of defeat only because it needed the exposure to overcome declining enrollments.) The Monrovians (champions of the “Colored Western League” the year before) won, 10-8, and the Klan shut down in Kansas two years later.

Tip of the hat, though, to Weird Universe for drawing it to our attention.

Damien's note: Sadly, the Klan is still around and anti-equality forces remain willing to risk embarrassment by protests and lawsuits across this great land.

The Republicans in Kansas are sending a "right to discriminate" bill through the legislature even as you read this.
