Notre Dame Vs. The Klan by Todd Tucker

Notre Dame Vs. The Klan by Todd Tucker

In 1924, two uniquely American institutions clashed in northern Indiana: the University of Notre Dame and the Ku Klux Klan. Todd Tucker's book, published for the first time in paperback, Notre Dame vs. The Klan tells the shocking story of the three-day confrontation in the streets of South Bend, Indiana, that would change both institutions forever.

When the Ku Klux Klan announced plans to stage a parade and rally in South Bend, hoping to target college campuses for recruitment starting with Notre Dame, a large group of students defied their leaders' pleas to ignore the Klan and remain on campus. Tucker dramatically recounts the events as only a proficient storyteller can. Readers will find themselves drawn into the fray of these tumultuous times.

Tucker structures this compelling tale around three individuals: D.C. Stephenson, the leader of the K in Indiana, the state with the largest Klan membership in America; Fr. Matthew Walsh, the young and charismatic president of the University of Notre Dame; and a composite of a Notre Dame student at the time, represented by Bill Foohey, who was an actual participant in the clash.

This book will appeal not only to Notre Dame fans, but to those interested in South Bend and Indiana history and the history of the Klu Klux Klan, including modern-day Klan violence.

Todd Tucker has led research into Technology Business Management (TBM) practices, organizational models and standards over the last four years. Through workshops and interviews with CIOs and other TBM leaders, Todd led the development of the TBM framework, business-value KPIs and other tools. In 2013, he authored the first-ever study (the TBM Index(TM)) on TBM adoption, maturity and value, based on a self-assessment from over 200 global enterprises. That same year, Todd launched the TBM Awards program, which has since given him access to dozens of the most successful TBM leaders who informed and shaped the lessons in this book. As the General Manager for the TBM Council, Todd is responsible for driving the mandates of standards development, education and certification, and member collaboration. Todd is guided by a belief that when you bring talented people together, create a shared purpose, and give them the facts, they will achieve great things.
