As Twitter erupted with accusations that “Office” star Ellie Kemper was a KKK princess for her participation in a 1999 debutante ball, a deeper dive into the elite St. Louis group at the center of the story revealed any number of celebrity connections, many of them African-American.
As the Daily Wire previously reported, the Veiled Prophet organization barred black membership from its 1878 founding until 1979, but it has no known connection to the KKK and had been integrated for 20 years by the time Kemper was crowned the “Queen of Love and Beauty” at age 19.
