Description

The Supreme Kingdom was a short-lived white supremacy group founded by former Ku Klux Klan Imperial Wizard pro tempore Edward Young Clarke, who was ousted from the 1915 Klan after violations of the Mann Act protecting young women from sexual abuse. After leaving the Klan, Clarke formed the group, and began advocating for extreme fundamentalism, seeking to drive all proponents of “evolution, atheism, and revolution” from the American School System. One of his first orders of business was a motion ordering several Georgia teachers to resign.

One of Clarke’s strongest and most famous advocates was Evansville, Indiana native John Roach Straton. Straton held leading pastoral positions in several major cities including Chicago, Baltimore, Norfolk, and most notably at the Calvary Baptist Church in New York City. Straton's connections to white supremacy and his views on race and relationships with blacks were exposed in 1927, however, during which time he attempted to distance himself from the Supreme Kingdom.

When Roy E. Davis toured the midwest holding revivals with William Branham, claiming to have papers by the “notary public” that Davis won converts by drinking sulfuric acid, Davis admitted that he was also involved with Straton. In a revival at Bossier City at an Assembly of God church, Davis said that he was formerly connected to Straton but had given himself over to domestic and foreign evangelism.
