“Such Friends”:  100 Years Ago, June 23, 1924, Time magazine, New York City, New York

Time magazine cover, June 23, featuring KKK Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans

In an article headlined, “Ku Klux Klan Kleveland Konvention,” Time magazine reports that the Republican Party National Convention in Cleveland—which ended two weeks ago after taking only three days to re-nominate President Calvin Coolidge, 52—voted down a party platform which would have condemned organizations like the Ku Klux Klan.

Tomorrow, the Democratic Party National Convention begins in Madison Square Garden, New York City. Delegates hope to accomplish their business within a similar time frame.
