Margaret Sanger gives
a detailed account of her well-received 1926 speech to the Ku Klux Klan in her autobiography. Sanger's open admission to speaking at a KKK rally has not stopped leftists from trying to deny it happened. Thanks
to scholars like
Dr. Paul Kengor, a university professor, and
Arina Grossu at the Washington Times, the Margaret Sanger KKK Planned Parenthood connection has received greater attention in recent years - despite Google's attempt to rank their research low in Margaret Sanger KKK queries.
The new attention Sanger's KKK speech has received has forced leftists into the odd position of trying to defend the repugnant idea of speaking to the Klan in 1926. One thing you may hear is that the KKK was different in the 1920's. Probably true, at that time it was far more violent, powerful, bigoted and racist.
If you have any doubt as to what the Klan was like in the 1920's, read this account of the 1921 murder of Father James Coyle by the KKK - - Victim of the Klan: Father James Edwin Coyle. Brian Kelly does an excellent job recounting the horrific murder of Father Coyle, Even more startling is how the KKK subsequently fixed the trial leading to the acquittal of the murderer.
Stephenson turned himself in and was charged with Father Coyles murder. The KKK paid for the defense, the judge was a klansman and the lawyer who defended Stephenson was Hugo Black, the future U. S. Supreme Court Justice. Although not a Klan member at the time of trial, Black did become a member afterwards. The verdict took only a few hours to come in. It was not guilty.
So why did the Ku Klux Klan love Sanger so much? And what exactly did Sanger say at the KKK rally that lead the Klan to love her so much? A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups? Ignore that liberal media!

A fascinating story about the murder of a heroic priest. Margaret Sanger spoke at Klan rallies & the KKK loved her. But the left will never have to disavow her nor tear down her monuments.

Hugo Black’ Klan affiliation and anti-Catholic bigotry also factored into his historic ‘wall of separation’ of chuch and state ruling at SCOTUS.

Sanger and the Klan were two peas in the same dysfunctional pod, yet I believe Sanger was much worse than the Klan was, because her evil indirectly caused the infanticide of untold millions of black children. Defund PP & MAGA!

I wonder if Fr. Coyle's murder was the inspiration for the horrific scene in the book (and later the movie) "
The Cardinal" by Henry Morton Robinson. If I recall correctly, Klansman beat and whip two Catholic priests one of whom was black.

Ku Klux Klan in Alabama from 1915-1930
“The Ku Klux Klan first appeared in Alabama following the Civil War, when many Confederate veterans and Democratic Party supporters formed the group to oppose the extension of citizenship and voting rights among former slaves and to end Republican Party control of the state government.”

The Ku Klux Klan first appeared in Alabama following the Civil War, when many Confederate veterans and Democratic Party supporters formed the group to oppose the extension of citizenship and voting rights among former slaves and to end Republican Party control of the state government. The Democrats and their media wing would remind us of this every single day where the reverse true.
"The Republicans, Founders of the KKK, voted to..."
