We will meet at 12:30 pm at the main entrance of the Silver Spring Metro and take the Metro downtown. For those who wish to drive, we will meet at the museum at 1:00 pm. After visiting the museum, we will plan to have tea at the museum cafe if it’s open or at a nearby restaurant at 3:30 pm. More on this as we get closer to the date.

Village Book Club at Charles McGee Library

The February book is: A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan
A historical thriller by the Pulitzer and National Book Award-winning author that tells the riveting story of the Klan’s rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them. The Roaring Twenties was the height of the uniquely American hate group, the Ku Klux Klan. Their domain was not only the old Confederacy but the Heartland and the West. They hated Blacks, Jews, Catholics, and immigrants in equal measure, and took radical steps to keep these people from the American promise. And the man who set in motion their takeover of great swaths of America was a charismatic charlatan named D. C. Stephenson. Stephenson was a magnetic presence whose life story changed with every telling. Within two years of his arrival in Indiana, he’d become the Grand Dragon of the state and the architect of the strategy that brought the group out of the shadows — their message endorsed from the pulpits of local churches, spread at family picnics and town celebrations. Judges, prosecutors, ministers, governors, and senators across the country all proudly proclaimed their membership. But at the peak of his influence, it was a seemingly powerless woman — Madge Oberholtzer — who would reveal his secret cruelties, and whose deathbed testimony finally brought the Klan to their knees.
