Notre Dame vs. The Klan

 
Independent Book Publishers Award Finalist!

On May 17, 1924, two uniquely American institutions collided in northern Indiana: the Ku Klux Klan marched on the University of Notre Dame. The re-born Klan was at its apogee, feeding on the Protestant majority’s fear of the rapidly growing immigrant population – a population that was largely Catholic. Notre Dame was also growing rapidly in size and power, as it became the most renowned and beloved Catholic institution of higher learning to those same immigrants. To the surprise of both the Klansmen and the Notre Dame administration, the students reacted violently to the robed men who challenged their patriotism and impugned their faith. The confrontation changed both institutions forever.
