At one time Sayville was an important center for the Ku Klux and had much more members than today. At one time a huge portion of the village belonged to it. David Behrens of Newsday said, "one out of seven to eight Long Island residents was a Klan member -- about 20,000 to 25,000 men and women." TThe height of the Ku Klux Klan in Sayville was during the 1920s, and since then the membership declined significantly.
According to a Newsday article, "... Sayville clergyman, Andrew Van Antwerpen of the First Reformed Church, permitted a hooded Klansman to address his congregants." This church is now called the New Life Community Church and is located on Lakeland Ave., Sayville. The Ku Klux Klan youth in Sayville were called the little "Ku Klux Klams" and inspired an "Our Gang Comedy" episode in 1923 called "Lodge Night." It was about the gang's club the "Cluck Cluck Klams." The idea for the "Klams" was from the fact clams and shellfishing is so important in the area. The episode about the Our Gang kids in the Klams, later called the Little Rascals, was condemned by the NAACP at the time.
