On this episode of the Focal Point Podcast, Digital Editor-in-Chief Will Clifford uncovers the forgotten power hold the Ku Klux Klan had on the city’s political and social landscape in the early 1900s and how their reign of terror left a lasting impact on the city’s culture.

We’ll examine how the Klan influenced the city through historical documents and interviews with Dr. Michael Phillips, the author of the book “White Metropolis,” and Associate Professor of History at the University of Texas at Dallas, Dr. Whitney Stewart.

Tune in as the Focal Point Podcast sheds light on this topic, often left out of history books— helping us better understand the forces that have shaped Dallas into the city it is today.———————————
