About this listen

Since the creation of the character, Superman has long been a champion of the downtrodden and oppressed. This has been a hallmark of his character through his appearances in virtually every medium, whether print, film, television or radio. And it's radio where the story of this episode begins—with a landmark serial storyline from 1946 that was instrumental in turning public sentiment away from the Ku Klux Klan, "The Clan of the Fiery Cross." A story that, after being out of the public eye for decades, became the foundation of a bestselling graphic novel written by Gene Luen Yang.
