    Fun fact - in the 1920’s, 1 in 3 white people in Indiana were members of the KKK. It was as about a mainstream a thing as being a rotary club member - they even had charity matches against the Knight of Columbus.

      My aunt in the 90s said membership in the klan in Atlanta was as prevalent as membership in the boy scouts. I have little reason to doubt her.
