Here is a reading on the Ku Klux Klan along with its accompanying vocabulary-building and comprehension worksheet. I have almost posted these documents a number of times over the years, but always hesitated and returned them to the warehouse. I think, or at least hope, that the entirety of this blog exposes my attitude toward the KKK–I think they are a dangerous group of racists and hatemongers who bear watching–hence this reading.

Once again, the editors of the Intellectual Devotional series have not equivocated and in one page detailed the crimes of the Klan and its threat to the civil rights of people it hates. I think students really deserve the plain facts of this hate group’s existence and its aims. This short reading serves as a good general introduction to the KKK.

Here is a reading on J.P. Morgan along with its attendant vocabulary-building and comprehensionn worksheet. By the standards of other readings from the Intellectual Devotional series, this one is relatively short. But it is a solid general introduction to the biography of the financier and includes the basic information about his role in United States economic history.
