The item noted below was sent to me from Michael Carter with the Monroe County History Club. He noted that it was taken from a 1923 issue of the Bloomington World. KU KLUX DAY DRAWS CROWD Autos Parked Out for Blocks around the Public Square-Hooded Figures Help Local Cops Handle Traffic Saturday was Ku Klux Klan day at the Monroe County fair, and at night when the speaking and parade was held, there were probably more automobiles in Bloomington than have ever been in the city before. Several blocks in each direction from the public square were parked solid with machines--but there is no way of estimating the number of visitors. At noon Klan members in full regalia appeared on the various downtown street corners and for the remainder of the day helped the police regulate traffic. At night the Klan held its speaking and a big parade. There was no disorder of any kind to mar the event.
