KKK auxiliaries included the Women of the Ku Klux Klan, the Junior Ku Klux Klan, the Tri-K Girls, the American Krusaders, the Ku Klux Kiddies, and the Klan’s Colored Man auxiliary.
The second Ku Klux Klan (KKK), often called the Klan of the 1920s, was officially the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Its membership was open to male, white, Protestant, native-born Americans “of good moral character” over the age of 18. It had chapters in European countries, Canada, Mexico and New Zealand and there were also KKK auxiliaries.
Violent acts, scandals, and crimes among the leadership contributed largely to public disgrace and downfall of the second KKK and its auxiliaries.

Famous quotes containing the word auxiliaries:
“‘Tis very certain that each man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank in the immense scale of men, and we are always learning to read it. A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
