Harmon’s Histories: Name-calling nun ignites riot at Missoula Masonic Temple
It was a lovely spring afternoon, April 28, 1925. The temperature was expected to reach 65 degrees. Downtown, at the Missoula Masonic Temple, a former nun by the name of Sister Lucretia was scheduled to speak. More than 200 women turned out for the event, “some in sympathy with her message and some opposed,” according to local press reports.
