Description
Segment Description
"David Duke comes to Boston."In March of 1911, Louisiana State Representative David Duke came to Boston to speak at the historic Old South Meeting House. He was invited as one in a series of 'opinion-maker speakers.' Not surprisingly, the invitation and the appearance of Mr. Duke sparked [controversy]. There were demonstrators outside and inside the Meeting House, many of whom refused to let Duke speak. Finally, a violent scuffle broke out, and police were called in to remove the demonstrators, allowing Duke to get on with his speech. In a final note of irony, Mr. Duke, the former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard, lectured the city of Boston on the importance of tolerance. "The piece aired the next morning of WBUR's Morning Edition"--1991 Peabody Awards entry form.
