For all the hatred, terror and mayhem blamed on the Ku Klux Klan through 150 years, the group actually has a rule book.
First published in 1916, the Kloran lays out a series of beliefs, titles and rituals that formed the core of Klan practices, sometimes dubbed “KlanKraft,” during much of the last century. The Kloran was supposedly secret for generations, but today copies are posted on the internet.
Some groups within the modern, splintered Klan say they don’t follow the Kloran, while others do. Regardless, an online version of the Kloran published by the University of Wisconsin library offers a glimpse into the world of the nation’s most notorious organizations.
