Comment on HERITAGE FORUM SPEAKER EMPHASIZES HISTORY ON THE WEB by Mike

If you check under the “What We have Done Recently” Section of the website (refer to the menu on the left) You will see an event called James Gardiner Vs the KKK, which is the debate re-enactment in Lemberg you refer to. If you are referring to J.T.M. Anderson, who was Premier after Gardiner, he at no time debated anyone in the KKK. The most extensive archival information on the KKK is in the James Gardiner files of the Saskatchewan Archives. U of R History Professor James Pitsula is working on a book about the KKK in Saskatchewan. Two videos featuring a lecture about the KKK in Saskatchewan by Pitsula are included on the James Gardiner Vs the KKK section.

A relative told me about a speaker and show depicting the Anderson years in Lemburg, Saskatchewan and, in particular, the role of the provincial Ku Klux Klan. This is a topic of great interest to me. While my beliefs and attitudes do not reflect those of my Irish Orange Presbyterian forebears, I happen to know the family’s lore on the subject. My Grandmother and several uncles were instrumental in organizing the Klan in Regina. Who can I contact for more information? Is there an archives, especially of the Anderson-Klan debates?

Nice. That warms me up.

Is this the first set contributed from other photographers? What are the criteria for getting published and contributing photos?

Thanks

Like this idea.
Like your enthusiasm for this work.
Suggestion: Appearance of the site needs a bit of help. At least on my screen it shows up unevenly and has a coarse appearance.
