  • Two widely circulated Internet memes purporting to show images of Klu Klux Klan rallies at the 1924 Democratic Convention are fake. The memes have been spread by right-wing propaganda sites and social media followers in an effort to discredit the party in the eyes of African-American voters. Snopes.com, one of several Web sites that have been spawned by the Trump administration to debunk fake news, analyzed the photos and determined that neither event took place at the 1924 Democratic Convention.
