When you mention Tulsa, Oklahoma, to anyone, if he’s heard of it he will envision oil magnates, Oral Roberts and Leon Russell, not necessarily in that order. Not long ago, the Oil Capital made headlines when some local Ku Klux Klansmen tried to make a citizen’s arrest of the cast of Hair during the nude scene. (The audience booed, and security men ushered the KKKreeps out the door.)
But Tulsa is also the home of Billy James Hargis’ Christian Crusade, an anti-Communist organization which perceives the USA through Red sunglasses. It searches for Commies in universities, in the National. Council of Churches, and sees a Kremlin plot behind the use of “music directed at destroying the mental and emotional stability of America’s youth through a scheme capable of producing mass neurosis.”
