“The Day the Klan Came to Town”: A small group book discussion
August 15, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Join us for this meeting of “Embracing Our Differences,” our group that explores and discusses issues of race, diversity, and social justice!
Today we’ll discuss The Day the Klan Came to Town (PM Press, 2021), written by Bill Campbell and illustrated by Bizhan Khodabandeh. This fictionalized graphic novel recounts the story of August 25, 1923, when thousands of members of the Ku Klux Klan descended upon Carnegie in a show of force and intimidation – only to be rebuffed by the people of Carnegie, who drove them out of the Borough.
Today’s event will be a small group discussion of the book. On Wednesday, August 23, join us for a special panel discussion with author Bill Campbell, illustrator Bizhan Khodabandeh, and representatives from the Carnegie Historical Society and the Heinz History Center!
