“Keep the dirty furriners out” — Edmund Duffy (1920s/30s): Liberal for his time, Duffy often tackled topics ranging from environmentalism to race. An advocate for civil rights and equality, he was fond of taking on and mocking the Ku Klux Klan and their supporters in his work, viciously condemning lynching and other KKK activities. This piece pokes fun at American xenophobia, particularly within the KKK, and government reaction to both anti-immigrant sentiment and the flourishing of the KKK.
