- DeForest Henry Perkins (December 24, 1872 – August 7, 1936) was an American educator, real estate developer, and political activist. A career educator, Perkins served as Superintendent of Portland Public Schools from 1911 – 1918. He was secretary of the Portland Chamber of Commerce from 1918 – 1921. Perkins was the Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Maine from 1925 to 1928. This was the high period of the Klan's ascendency nationally, and in Maine. He resigned in 1928 after a Klan-backed Republican candidate for U.S. Senator, Ralph Owen Brewster, lost his primary contest to Sen. Frederick Hale, signaling the eclipse of the Klan as a force in Maine politics. (en)
