Maine Burning: a look at the Ku Klux Klan's "invasion" of the state in the 1920s - Thursday, Sept 13 at 6:00 Mark Alan Leslie will share his research for his book "The Crossing". The Ku Klux Klan. Maine. The 1920s. Two powerful forces clash: faith and community versus the Klan and its vile rhetoric. Who would have dreamed the KKK would target lily-white Maine? But in the early 1900s the motto was "As Maine goes so goes the nation," and Klan leaders determined if they could grab a foothold in the bellwether northeastern-most state, they could succeed anywhere. So they sent their most charismatic recruiter to draw the crowds. He succeeded-- for a while.
