Ku Klux Klan Wants Strict Enforcement of Sunday Blue Laws, July 24, 1926

Ku Klux Klan Fights Continental Sunday

Charlotte, July 23—The Charlotte Ku Klux Klan announced Thursday that it is opposed to the movement said to be under way in this State to make the Sabbath day a continental Sunday and promises “a determined and militant support of any means or methods initiated to compel the strict observance of Sunday closing laws in the city of Charlotte.

The resolution, printed on the Klan letterhead, calls on “the Ministerial Association and other bodies in Charlotte, both fraternal and civic, to join in the fight to prevent any increase in Sunday law violations and to curb those now existing.”
