KU HISTORY

A KU student managed to prompt a red scare in 1937. Don Henry, a Dodge City native, was killed during fighting in Spain with left-wing loyalists against right-wing nationalist rebels led by Gen. Franciso Franco. The incident led to months of speculation, debate and criticism of communist sympathies on campus. For more, visit www.kuhistory.com.
