Bump.
Great article! First time I've heard about how active the Klan was in Minnesota at the time...
I recently received an email from ESPN Sportsnation about their 30 for 30 movies. In the end they asked about ideas for future shows. I gave a quick overview of Jack Trice. Hopefully someday...
Now nearly a century later, if what comes through about Jack from his letter and scattered remnants of images and accounts is anywhere near accurate, the man's essence is beyond what a movie could accurately capture. It is a story that should have never happened, but it is a legacy we must tell and I am open to his story being told to a wider movie audience.A Jack Trice movie would be really cool if done right
Klan was pretty active in Iowa too back then.
