Description
Ku Klux Klan march on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. on September 13, 1926, with Franklin National Bank in the foreground and the US Capitol in the background. The KKK was founded in 1915 by William Joseph Simmons. Its growth was based on a new anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, prohibitionist and anti-Semitic agenda, which reflected contemporary social tensions. The Klan became most prominent in cities with high growth rates between 1910 and 1930, as rural Protestants flocked to jobs in Detroit, and Dayton in the Midwest; and Atlanta, Dallas, Memphis, and Houston in the South. National Photo Company, 1926.
