Superman - Superman smashes the Klan

Superman - Superman smashes the Klan

The year is 1946, a Chinese-American family, named the Lees, move to Metropolis, but find themselves threatened by the local Ku Klux Klan. The children, Tommy and Roberta, find themselves especially threatened while new friends like Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane and Inspector Henderson try to help and are then similarly targeted. Meanwhile, Superman’s own efforts to assist the children are complicated by disturbing visions that prove linked to his own self-doubts and confusion about his own self-identity.
