Library - William Allen White and the KKK in Kansas

Beverley Olson Buller will be here on November 9, 2021 at 6:00PM  to share her presentation about William Allen White's Gubernatorial campaign. During his 1924 campaign, William Allen White sought to drive the Ku Klux Klan out of Kansas. Because of the growing presence of the Klan after World War I and the influence they had on all the other Gubernatorial candidates, White ran for the governor’s seat of Kansas. This presentation follows White’s two-month campaign where he traveled over 2,700 miles to deliver 104 speeches that were directed at expelling the KKK from Kansas.

Beverley Olson Buller is an author, educator, and the chair of the William Allen White Children’s Book Awards selection committee in Emporia. Her book, From Emporia: The Story of William Allen White, was named a 2008 notable Kansas Book.
