The Klan as the “Invisible Empire” at times, was like a fraternal organization, Harry Truman once paid membership fees into the Klan. One never hears about that though most concede it is true. I don’t think things will change much per LBJ’s legacy. Oh, change the library name or whatever, won’t happen.

Just like this misguided belief that General Forrest was a “founder” of the Klan. On the plaque on the building where the Klan was founded in Pulaski, TN. Forrest’s name appears nowhere.

When I took Basic Training in the Army one fellow from down yonder there in the sticks tried to convince me the Klan wasn’t nearly as horrible as I’d been led to believe up in Yankee land, that it was sort of like the Rotary or Elks Club, something like that. Hm.
