In a shocking move, the Muncie Ku Klux Klan Branch, a powerful and feared organization in Indiana and Michigan, has publicly severed ties with the national Ku Klux Klan. The break, announced on February 25, 1924, in Muncie, marks a bitter end to decades-long relationships between local and national Klan leaders. The decision, made official in a statement released today, comes after a deep-seated distrust in the national administration’s leadership and a growing sense of discontent among the local claverians across Indiana and Michigan.
