Selling Hate
Selling Hate is a fascinating and powerful story about the power of a southern PR firm to further the Ku Klux Klan's agenda. Dale W. It was the volatile, precarious terrain of post-World War I America. Laackman's uncovered never-before-published archival material, census records, and obscure books and letters to tell the story of an emerging communications industry--an industry filled with potential and fraught with peril.The brilliant, amoral, and spectacularly bold Bessie Tyler and Edward Young Clarke--together, the Southern Publicity Association--met the fervent William Joseph Simmons (founder of the second KKK), saw an opportunity, and played on his many weaknesses.
Tyler and Clarke took Simmons's dying and broke KKK, with its two thousand to three thousand associates in Georgia and Alabama, and in a few short years swelled its membership to nearly five million.
