Civil rights

During his administration, lynchings of African-Americans decreased and millions of people left the Ku Klux Klan.[143]

While the above statement is true, the decrease in KKK membership had little to do with Calvin Coolidge. It was primarily due to the imprisonment of Grand Dragon D. C. Stephenson for the rape and subsequent death of Madge Oberholtzer. Calvin Coolidge refused to make a strong statement against the KKK. This inaction was one catalyst that led to African-Americans leaving the Republican Party. [144]

This sentence seems completely out of place in the paragraph it leads. It's immediately followed by explaining what he is praised for, and it doesn't have any kind of reference. I'll leave it to the Wikipedia experts to figure out what might be better. 113.166.212.229 ( talk) 13:48, 11 December 2023 (UTC) reply
