Episode: Premium Episode 171: The Veiled Prophet Cult feat Devin Thomas O'Shea(Sample)
Description: The Ku Klux Klan, debutantes, Monsanto Chemical and an orientalist poem about a veiled villain. Let's take a look at the creepy "veiled prophet" cult based in Saint Louis, Missouri. It's a men's club of rich and powerful locals dedicated to crushing labor movements and parading their daughters in front of each other. Ellie Kemper (Erin from NBC sitcom The Office) was crowned their "Queen of Love and Beauty" in 1999. But activists played a role in revealing their racist past. Saint Louis journalist Devin Thomas O'Shea guest writes the episode.
