In October of 1922, 31 members of the Ku Klux Klan marched into the Stephenville First Baptist Church, lined up in front of the congregation and presented a well planned program. The congregation sang the Star-Spangled Banner, and afterwards the Klansmen filled out as quietly as they came in. (This is the same year that blacks were removed from West End Cemetery). Texas House Bill 3979 forbids the teaching of critical race theory to stop students from discovering the deep roots of white supremacy in our history. Stephenville Tribune (October 6, 1922)
