Description
Night
meeting
of the
Ohio
State
Konklave
,
Knights
of the
Ku
Klux
Klan
at
Buckeye
Lake
on
July
12
,
1923
. The
Ku
Klux
Klan
(KKK)
was
originally
founded
in
1866
, but was
disbanded
in the
years
after
the
Civil
War
. The
Klan
arose
again
in
1915
by the
efforts
of
William
Joseph
Simmons
. This
new
Klan
not
only
targeted
blacks
, but
Catholics
,
Jews
, and
foreigners
.
During
the
1920s
,
Klan
membership
increased
dramatically
. In
Ohio
,
membership
is
estimated
to have
reached
300,000
.
Rallies
like
this
one
occurring
at
Buckeye
Lake
were
some
of the
biggest
in the
country
during
this
time
. At this
time
,
Licking
County
had a
strong
Klan
presence
,
one
reason
why
this
site
was
chosen
for the
statewide
konklave
(meeting)
. The
all-day
event
included
speeches
by
notable
Klan
members
, an
initiation
ceremony
, a
cross
set
afire
, and
fireworks
.
It
is
estimated
that the
rally
drew
75,000
attendees
.
