Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An offset lithograph print depicting a brightly colored abstract scene of Ku Klux Klan figures and violence amidst other female and male figures. In the center, a figure in the white Klan robe and hood stands on a field of red squares. Around the figure are red trees with billowing pink tops, resembling flames or smoke. Two additional Klan figures lurk in the background against a dark purple field, with a large burning cross. In the right foreground, also standing on the center field of red squares, a Black female figure with yellow hair and dressed in blue raises a blue-gloved hand. In the bottom left foreground, on a field of green are two white female figures. One, dressed in pink, is standing with her right arm outstretched.
