re: #49 Joe Bacon 🌹
Remember when Grandma Bacon told me of how the KKK ran Indiana back in the 1920s.
My high school social studies teacher - a very… odd catholic hippie that I don’t think was a very good classroom teacher but was smarter than most of the rest of the school put together - went out of her way to inform us that Indiana was the only state where the Klan was actually, officially incorporated.
I never verified that, and to be fair most hoosiers in my region tend to be more private about their racism, but it sounds about right.
