- Sarah Moldafsky, Twitter Thread: “It is my time to shine. So the veiled prophet is an major institution in St. Louis rooted in a deeply troubling past; to call it a KKK princess isn’t wrong but also not right.“
I found a great Twitter thread on the racist history of the Veiled Prophet thing in St. Louis. Also, I’m getting some serious S1 True Detective cult vibes from the old photos in the thread.
