A xenophobic panic had gripped the nation. Fears of socialists and anarchists and other so-called “un-American” political ideologies were running high. In response to these tensions, vigilante groups insisted on arming themselves and policing their towns. All very difficult stuff to imagine today, 100 years later.

Open to the public. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be available. This event is cosponsored by the Lane County History Museum and the UO Department of History.
