[Virginia]: [United Klans of America?], [197-?]. A United Klans of America variant of the Oliver Allstorm (b. Oliver Allstrom) anti-miscegenation poem, "The Saddest Story Ever Told," about the marriage of a white woman and a black man and the birth of their mixed-race child.

"We know a carnivorous bug has crept into her brain / And gnawed away her self-respect, which has left her half insane." The poem continues in similarly dramatic fashion recounting the protagonist's regret following the birth of her interracial child ("...now my baby's mongrel face reminds of my shame"), her parents' death following her marriage ("...crushed when I became a Negro's common bride"), and her thoughts of suicide as the only solution to "racial suicide."

We were unable to uncover much about Chase, although we find a 1946 letter to the editor in "The Pittsburgh Press" equally as scathing with perhaps further insight into his concerns: "meddling Into War II was the greatest possible disservice our "leaders" could have forced men and boys to do to the country the ironical result of replacing relatively puny Hitler… Read More
