DENVER (AP) — History Colorado has debuted an online archive this week of 1,300 pages of original Ku Klux Klan membership records from 1924 through 1926, previously on public display at the History Colorado Center in downtown Denver.
History Colorado digitized the hate group's ledgers, which include about 30,000 entries, to highlight the widespread racism built into the city's political and cultural history, The Denver Post reported. Researchers know some of the entries are repeats of the same people, so the total number of members is unknown, History Colorado spokesperson John Eding said.
