Houston Times
An ultra-conservative Democratic newspaper published during Reconstruction, and available on microfilm at HMRC. A Huntsville Republican paper at the time referred to it as “the Ku-Klux Houston Times.”1 It earned the nickname with daily screeds about the radical program and frequent use of racial slurs and racist stereotype.
For “Ku Klux,” see reprinted quote from Houston Times, June 22, 1869.↩
