The KKK and Denver Jewish History with Phil Goodstein JCC Denver/Mizel Reception Room 350 S. Dahlia Street, DenverThe Ku Klux Klan briefly dominated Denver in the mid-1920s. While it was viciously anti-Semitic, it also had a Jewish lawyer who was the campaign manager for Benjamin Stapleton, a secret klansman elected mayor in 1923.

Klan still haunt Denver. In partnership with JFS at the JCC.
