Join us as author Patricia Bernstein discusses her acclaimed book, Ten Dollars to Hate: The Texas Man Who Fought the Klan. This gripping work tells the story of Texas district attorney Dan Moody, who in 1923 became the first prosecutor to successfully convict and jail Ku Klux Klan members, striking a blow against organized hate.

Bernstein, a Texas native and author of The First Waco Horror, brings deep historical insight to this discussion. Ten Dollars to Hate was named one of the 53 best books ever written about Texas by the Austin American-Statesman.
