OK Resident, 2008-
“i was a minister in Hominy OK in the early 80s…while I was there, a black physician moved into Skiatook (25 mi to the east) a previously all white town. after a year, he went on vacation. his house burned to the ground. i never heard any official explanation, but the word of mouth talk was the klan burned it.

“I’ve heard the old timers including my uncles and grandfather who have lived in Skiatook since the 60’s talk about the same white sign described in the post about Barnsdall…. I remember flyers for KKK rallies being put in driveways and mail boxes growing up until I was about 17 or 18, I am 30 now.”
