Conversation With A Kleagle March 6, 2009

This play is based on a true story. At the height of a lynching epidemic in the late 1920s, a black journalist -- passing for white -- travels to the deep South to interview a Kleagle, a recruiter for the Ku Klux Klan. When his true racial identity is discovered by the Klan he escapes being lynched, only to find that his rescuer's family paid a dear price, a price that brings the journalist back to the south to confront the Kleagle and the Klan.
