15. Do you know the history of Anaheim?
He went from the fire to the frying pan...

In the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan, at the height of its influence and popularity, decided to make Anaheim a model Klan city. In 1924, the Klan secretly managed to get four of its members elected to the five-member Board of Trustees. Nine of the ten members of the police force were also Klansmen.

Yes that was the 1920s but guess what percentage of the police and fire department are white now?

Klan-aheim.
