Prohibition

Albeit, this is two years old, if you have 30 minutes this is an interesting take on prohibition as Daniel Okrent argues that prohibition was more of an entity against immigrants and African-Americans, but of whom were kept from liquor as opposed to many whites.  Okrent argues that the Ku Klux Klan actually were in favor of woman's suffrage as it thought if woman had the right to vote, they would be vote on behalf of prohibition.
