Harding was the only president ever initiated into the KKK, and they did it in the White House

Can anyone recommend the best network or cable channel to tape it from? I've heard FOX has stunk with the coverage, so I'm leery about taping it from them.

Welcome to the americanpresidents.org Chat with Dr. Robert Rupp, Associate Professor of History at West Virginia Wesleyan College, and producer of video documentaries on President Warren G. Harding. This Online Chat took place LIVE on September 20, 1999.

jae: Much has been made of a possible relationship between Harding and the KKK. What do you make of this?

Robert Rupp: True fabridcation-as talked about on C-SPAN today there was a rumor floated by KKK that he was a member. He was not-and in fact was the first president to call for fair treatment of Afican-Americans when he spoke on southern soil. Also remember Afican Americans were a key voting block for the Republican party at this time. Also he had special day set aside during his campaign when a group from Indiana came to visit.
