an interracial group of heterosexual and homosexual men and women

In 1950, it is said, the Knights of the Clock, an interracial group of heterosexual and homosexual men and women, was incorporated in Los Angeles, California, with the aim of promoting understanding among homosexuals, between whites and blacks, and offering social, employment, and housing services, especially to interracial couples. An attempt in 1974 to locate the incorporation certificate of this group was unsuccessful .[1]
