Welcome back, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful break and are ready for our last two weeks together. Please share something you did during the holidays or a memorable gift you received. Additionally, let’s discuss a significant historical event: in 1921, the KKK infiltrated Utah, targeting various groups. Ordinary citizens, at night, wore white robes to represent their beliefs, instilling fear in communities, particularly against Catholics, Jews, and African Americans. Notably, Robert Marshall was the first lynching victim in 1925. Let’s reflect on these events as we delve into our history.
