I recommend this great article in the Washington Post by Jennifer Mendelsohn and Peter A. Shulman on the myths surrounding the 1924 National Democratic Convention. I had a role in the direction of the article. In researching of the origins of the word “Klanbake,” I concluded that word was not the recent invention of right-wing commentators. My hypothesis that sole primary source for Klanbake could be found somewhere in the June 1924 issues of the New York Daily News, a paper that has yet to be digitized, turned out to be true.
