A century ago the Ku Klux Klan was a thriving entity in the state of Colorado. Tens of thousands of Coloradans swore their allegiance to the Klan in the 1920s, including prominent public officials like Denverâs then mayor and chief of police. According to History Colorado, the stateâs preeminent historical society, Colorado had the nationâs 2
nd-highest per capita Klan membership in the 1920s, with a chapter â or klavern â in each of its 64 counties.
History Colorado recently released a massive record of the Ku Klux Klanâs presence in Denver and other cities in the 1920s, when the white supremacist group was at the height of its power and influence. Â

Season 25 of The Bachelor was certainly a season to remember. It was the first Bachelor season that didnât take place in the iconic Bachelor mansion, featured the most racially diverse group of women contestants in the showâs history, and most importantly, had the first Black Bachelor, Matt James.
Iâve never been much of a fan of The Bachelor franchise, and hadnât watched a full season until this past one. I had low expectations going in because the premise of the show still blows my mind. But points of this last season reached new lows that I didn’t see coming.Â
