Walter Walker

The peculiar phenomenon of the American Apartheid is explored through recalling the origins of zoning and building codes in Ku Klux Klan political policies, and how this resulted in racially discriminatory police enforcement, racial covenants and how even today communities across the nation, and especially in Colorado, struggle to undo these damaging laws - and how some, like Grand Junction, do not.

Examining the history of the KKK in Grand Junction by the colorful story of its famous sometimes Klan leader, sometimes Klan opponent Walter Walker, the reader discovers the most successful methods of engaging against hatred and institutionalized racism that continue to impact American communities like Grand Junction today.
