75 Klansmen

It’s February 28th 1930, A biter cold night in Oakville Ontario Canada. The streets are quiet—still—until the sound begins. A Slow. Rhythmic. Sound of Boots striking pavement. 75 men are marching down the middle of the street, an unusual sight in this small Ontario town. Even more unsettling is what they’re wearing: white robes, and pointed hoods   The klan has arrived on a mission, they have heard that a Black man and a white woman have been seen in each others company and they have arrived to do something about it.   #canadianhistory #celebrateblackhistory #oakvilleontario #bhms #blackhistory365
