When I was very young I read a magazine article about the KKK and notwithstanding my youth I was appalled. The Klan brings shame upon the southern states. Of course it has re-emerged in new guises in support of Trump. I have a very vague recollection of it flaring up in the UK in the 70s, Wales? Shocking history.

Eye opening and jaw dropping article. There’s parallels with what’s happening here and elsewhere. Absolutely shocking.

I saw one quote where one of them was squawking about building a giant wall to keep out immigrants. And the book control on schools? That’s happening in Florida now. America in no way the only place this stuff is happening of course

Painful to read primarily for what the ancestors of slaves endure to this day. Perhaps more subtly, but nevertheless an existing undertone. A great historical perspective. Intolerance is not unique to the U.S., however, its around the world and seems to be growing. Sad!!

Kudos to you Alex for refusing to use the names of DH#1 and DH#2, it makes me think of the Hemingway quote "every man has two deaths............" Lets hope this expedited their 2nd death and we keep using the heroes including Madge.
