- Token, "Knights of Ku Klux Klan, Realm of Michigan, Member in Good Standing," 1919 - The Ku Klux Klan was reborn in the late 1910s and flourished but began to decline in the mid-1920s. It never completely disappeared, however. This token from 1919 shows a member's "good standing" in the KKK's Michigan realm. The innocuous figures (the hooded knight and goddess-like woman) belie the hatred, vigilantism, and violence found under the hood of the Klan.
