Ku Klux Klan: The images are chilling, and what they intimate is repugnant to the 21s t century mind. But it's all there, typed out in reams of paper splayed across Sarah Baumchem's kitchen table, remnants from the Ku Klux Klan's foray into southern Ontario, nine decades ago. , according to Hamilton Spectator. "This isn't classed as history. It's classed as hate. I couldn't just sell it on Kijiji or anything," says Baumchem, 34, wrapped in a snug hoodie with a big shaggy dog pawing at her chair in the warmth of her home, on a windy stretch of country road about 30 kilometres north of Bowmanville. Hooded men in spectral robes hold arcane rituals in the woods on the edge of town. Burning crosses light up the night from perches in the distant hills. The mother of three boys shakes her head as she leafs through the aged documents. Her hands pass over strange symbols and Latin lettering, numbered KKK membership cards, Klan bulletins and communiqus. She usually keeps it all tucked away in a box, hidden from her children.
