This week on the KPL Podcast we have local Missouri author and historian Sean Rost.  We discuss his new book, Catching Hell from All Quarters: Anti-Klan Activists in Interwar Missouri.  He's taken a deep dive into rebirth of the Ku Klux Klan during interwar Missouri.  Rost will focus on several notable figures who comprised an interracial, interdenominational, and bipartisan anti-Klan coalition whose opposition to the hooded order largely stymied the Klan’s efforts to wield substantial influence and political power in Missouri.
