Fight Against The Klan
Upon the formation of the American Legion by World War I veterans in 1919, Steck was elected to several leadership roles, including a term as commander of the Iowa chapter, and positions on national Legion committees. At the Legion's 1923 National Convention, Steck led efforts to condemn the Ku Klux Klan, which was approaching the height of its national influence. The Convention adopted a resolution that did not mention the Klan by name but that condemned organizations fostering racial, religious, or class strife.
