The Albert Lea Public Library invites the public to Bring Your Own Lunch and Learn on Thursday with the program, “Minnesota’s Hooded History: The Ku Klux Klan in 1920s Minnesota” with Nancy Vaillancourt, a local historian and librarian.

Vaillancourt has spent years researching the presence of the Ku Klux Klan in southeast Minnesota. Attend the program to learn about this forgotten history and the organized traditions of prejudice and nativism in the region.

The program will be held from noon to 1 p.m.  in the Council Chambers on the top floor of City Hall, 221 E. Clark St. There is no registration or fee required. For more information, visit the library’s events calendar: https://alplonline.libcal.com/event/12881977.

This program is made possible by the people of Minnesota through Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Library Legacy fund, in cooperation with the regional public library system, SELCO.
