Often thought of as an issue only in the southern United States, the Civil War’s legacy of racial discrimination and violence can be seen closer to home. On Nov. 6, at 7 p.m., join CCHM for the last “First Thursday” lecture of the year focusing on The KKK in Southwest Washington. Admission is $4 for adults, $3 for seniors, $2 for children under 18 and free with membership. Doors will open at 5 p.m.
