The goal of this project is to assemble and make fully-searchable a comprehensive collection of Klan and other white nationalist newspapers alongside newspapers published Catholic, African-American and Jewish organizations to counter the narrative of hate and bigotry. The collection contains national Klan publications (for example: the Imperial Night-Hawk and the Kourier) as well as regional and local Klan produced papers (i.e., Sgt. Dalton’s Weekly, Jayhawker American, and the Minnesota Fiery Cross). The collection will also include a set of papers sympathetic to the Klan (i.e., The Good Citizen and The Fellowship Forum) alongside anti-Klan publications (Tolerance, The Record, Our Sunday Visitor).
