Back in 1996 I found this photo, "Women [of the] KKK Drum Corps" buried deep in a closet under the stairs in one of the many places I lived in San Francisco. My housemate—who was friends with the building owner—couldn't imagine that it belonged to her, so its source has remained a mystery. I was thinking of donating the original print to Shorpy, but now I can't seem to lay my hands on it. I'm sure it's in a box around here somewhere, but after all this time the exact location is anyone's guess.
They all look so proud, don't they?
Wow. That's unreal! That deserves a place in an archive somewhere….
