1922 - The Ku Klux Klan participated in the Tourist's Day parade in Brooksville, Florida. In the early 1920s it was not uncommon for the KKK to march without opposition in civic parades in cities and towns throughout the state, despite their ongoing efforts to intimidate and deny rights to African Americans and other minorities, often using violence. In their coverage of a Klan parade in Orlando just before Election Day of 1920, the city's Sunday newspaper said that the 500 KKK marchers were "a revival of that great secret organization which guarded the honor of the South in the troubled days" after the Civil War. The KKK is shown here marching in Brooksville, Florida on February 24, 1922.
