The KKK Comes To Oneonta!
The Ku Klux Klan had more than 80,000 members in New York State in the 1920s.  In fact, New York had the seventh largest membership of any state in the Union.  The state headquarters was  located in Binghamton.  Because of the small number of African-Americans in our region, the KKK focused their vitriol on Jews, Cathoilics and immigrants.
