Against the KKK

Father Coughlin was outspoken against much of the mayhem that was going on in his own country, this included the Ku Klux Klan. The KKK planned to punish Father Coughlin for his bold and harsh speeches. They planned on burning a blazing cross on the lawn of his church. In this photo you see Father Coughlin trying to put out the fire on a burning cross.
