That's a shame. The KKK are a blot upon the earth. At a party in Tidewater Virginia one night in the 60's someone said they might burn a cross in my yard for something I said. I said they'd better not stand in the light of the fire, as that would make them good targets. I heard no more about that plan, and they did not show up. People who know no better claim Gen. Forrest started the Klan. I doubt it, but he surely disbaded them when he found what they were about. If he had wanted to do such he surely would not have hidden behind a mask. When Forrest ran a railroad after the war he hired blacks to work in responsible positions. When he died over 3000 blacks attended his funeral, or stood in honor as the hearse passed. Stan
