To summarize what I thought I had posted previously..the KKK had a massive convention (The largest meeting ever of KKK members) in KC (Really in Liberty, near Arsenal Hill) in the 1920's. There was easily found articles, photo's, leaflets, etc on the web verifying this. I however cannot find a single thing relating to this right now? This blows my mind.

Here's about the only thing I have found, which brings up some interesting points (Also the verbage in reference to the KKK and KC is interesting..does it affirm that there was indeed a KKK convention here in 1924?)

This is all I could find, which is absolutely crazy..

Searching for Liberty or KC with KKK will find you nothing! I had to get the date right just to find these few things!
September, 1924
~5,000 people present

What do you all think of this being made into a trail?

Hadn't heard anything about it. Was it in the news?
