"never saw anyone that I know of who actually belonged to the KKK"

Yes, George, in my gr-grandfather's memoirs, he speaks of Klan activities

in Central Mississippi (Attala County), but mentions no names, except in

one instance and that was a surname only. Today, if I make even the most

discreet inquiry into who in those days were known to be Klan, the silence is

deafening. I get the impression, some names are known, but no names will

be mentioned for those same Klan members from Reconstrucion days still

have descendants living in the same area and the lsat thing anyone living

today wants to become public knowledge is that one or more of their ancestors

was in the Klan. It remains a secret society and the only hints you can find

about named Klan are in diaries, letters and so on - and in precious few of

them. It is almost as if the remnants of the old Klan remained in place today,

but buried so deep under the surface of everyday life as not to be known
