3rd grade class photo, the Blaine School, Muncie Indiana, 1934.Just like Denver’s Whittier School, here is a fully integrated elementary school 20 years before Brown vs. Board of Education.In Indiana, the number of African Americans migrating there from the South was steady from Reconstruction through the 1930’s. Unfortunately Klan power in the state grew exponentially as well, with over 250,000 Indiana members by 1922. It was estimated at the time 1 out of every 3 white men claimed membership in the KKK.However several events took place in Indiana that shook up the status quo and opened the door to integrated education in Muncie.First, Indiana Grand Dragon David Stephenson was convicted of the 1925 abduction and rape of a white woman (so much for protecting the flower of womanhood). This spurred widespread discussion and confusion about what the actual function and purpose for the Klan was (obv not to protect women). Consequently, membership fell off dramatically. Next, Ms. Jesse Nixon became the first African American to graduate from Ball State Teacher’s College in 1925. Finally, the nail in the Muncie Klan coffin occurred when Anti-KKK former newspaperman George Dale was elected mayor in 1929. His first official act was to fire the entire police force and clean house in Muncie.
