During an Instagram Q+A this summer, we were asked “What is your favorite thing to teach visitors?” We’ve been mulling over that. These are some of the staff’s favorite answers.

In another edition of #AskACWM, we're looking at Confederate veterans involvement in the Reconstruction-era Ku Klux Klan. 

Museum Historian John Coski and Mellon Guest Curator Chris Graham: 

Your question, “what percentage of Confederate veterans became involved in the Ku Klux Klan…” is difficult to answer, and we do not feel comfortable making an estimation of any particular percentage.

Today we launch a new blog series - #AskACWM - where we bring the best and most interesting questions we get on social media and put them to our staff to respond. To kick things off, we have a tweet. 

To answer, we called upon our Museum Historian John Coski and our Mellon Guest Curator Chris Graham.
