remember speaking at interval a c.p. branch in dallas about nineteen forty seven and after i had spoken people were shaking in one fell to hug around the navy and looked down as a little girl looking up at me and saying i know that you do you go on a mean let folks in income tell us what to fix and to do. stetson kennedy you know was something of a legend i've heard about him for many many years and he was
9:35 pm
a guy who worked with congress in all kinds of anti racist groups to try neuter the klan human filtrated klan and infiltrate it very very effectively and i think the great mistake it's think about the klan in terms of a few nuts or french people who are psychopaths. racism has been a part of the american system to study as far back as you can go. and to claim it was implicit in terrorist enforcement arm of it. in the mid one nine hundred twenty s. the klan and over four million members you know at a time when the country was much much smaller in the klan in the twenty's controlled state governorships they control big politicians it was really quite different i recorded deathbed statement to phone or imperial. president warren harding into the klan and most every morning in the green room of the white house. should he was so nervous. the left is in the car and the president harding had just
9:36 pm
been for the white house bubble. the token of appreciation president harding gave old number of elections. could run red lights up in the. stats and really was one of the pioneers and getting the klan to lose credibility on the national stand on making this an acceptable behavior that people who are in politics and then the police and whatever they should not be part of this and that it actually ends terrorism.
9:37 pm
when the civil rights movement essentially was successful the klan really did fade away. what they call the fourth era klan when it came back was the klan of david duke which peers in the late seventy's and really david duke was all about the idea of kind of let's get rid of the ropes let's put on business suits let's hold meetings and motels we need sort of get out of the cow pastures and into the motels .
9:38 pm
greensborough was an amazing moments that came relatively late. in the century at a time when people really did not expect the clan to be picking up weapons and murdering their enemies in open daylight let alone on t.v. the fact is that's precisely what happened. to the. part of a group it had organized to have an anti clinton instruction and conference room with hundred seventy nine. i was one of the coordinators of the march so i was kind of busily looking in on this new thing and was actually standing on the street corner for a little while not far from seeing the smith. line of cars.
9:39 pm
moving very slowly came down the street and cindy said it's weird since it was weird she said no cops here. she was right and cindy did moments later. i saw this caravan of cars and. confederate flag on. one of the cars i knew it was the klan and the first car in the caravan with pickup truck a guy leaned out with a long barreled black pistol waved it in the sky a couple times shot one shot into the sky and yelled something and the car a stop and point a group of guys with sticks jumped on her began beating people and drove folks back into the housing project to gather. confused what was going
9:40 pm
on and it was happening but you know running and running with people i reached the point of relative safety behind someone somewhere and looked behind me and i saw that cesar house really was a very big fella was standing with a stick and appeared to be fighting off some other guys with sticks. and i was carrying a stick with a picket sign on it so i turned around and i ran toward caesar thinking he could use some hope that i had a stick. there was just a deafening roar of gunfire tremendous when the noise people screaming sticks cracking all kinds of things will happen to what was going on. all of a sudden boom boom i got hit twice in the head in the arm but what i didn't know.
9:41 pm
i saw my very close friend cesar couse a lying in a strange on his chest and face. i knew he was hurt i knew by that time it was probably shot. i ran up to him as soon as the klansmen drove off and i tried to. turn him over and a whole lot of air came out of his lung and i thought oh my goodness least he's alive he's still breathing but then the air just kept on coming out and. it was it was his last breath it was all out it wasn't he wasn't breathing and. that's very. hot water cold to go with him at. least. i ran over to the hall and he was shot right in his head and it was bleeding it was
9:42 pm
also shot in his arm and it was the most helpless feeling. i kept trying to get out because when through it could be useful one doctor couldn't get up i couldn't figure out why he was terribly confusing. i looked around and i was able to see there was blood on the grass roomier and for. no hour. he was in five hours of brain surgery that night and they really didn't think he would live. the surgeon already knew he was paralyzed on the left side. he did survive but has been you know. seriously crippled. since that time. here we are where planning to have march and conference we've been you know part of hundreds of demonstrations and then suddenly caravan come in and then
9:43 pm
in eighty eight seconds kill five very close friends and almost killed my husband. may it divided my life and in other words it's like before. november third one hundred seventy nine and after. because we believe life is valuable because five lives were lost. and ten people were injured in the tragedy of november three nine hundred seventy nine we must examine the beliefs and issues that brought about these events written akim agreed bert i put both ground there to clean it was hard not to rock we were not good at leading man walking mr america.
9:44 pm
and i'm not afraid mostly and i don't that's why i'm here today. i was marching in greece bursting night hundred sixty three. and a police never would leave you alone whether you want to me or not they were they all the time to help or hinder them both this is the first time i've ever been to a rally where there was no policeman they they were there and then it was sent away for lunch. police officers were assigned to be on post they were told get to your post what is not been clarified if their post was not winter center for every car. their post was a high school. i had access to these documents read them back as already that are right a plant quite a block and believe. you don't live two groups with the extreme political views from each other. come together without
9:45 pm
a buffer. in the buffer we've been. painted yes we should have been me. i did not keep a record of the race of the jury was selected all rejected but if i can trust my memory after twenty five years i believe an all white jury was selected. this was. one thousand nine hundred. now and this is still happening. and i was naive enough to believe north. the set up for the first trial was such that it rivaled be set up for the murders themselves in terms of the careful planning that went into it the district attorney who's the prosecuting attorney who supposedly representing the interests of the victims said people around here think
9:46 pm
the commies were his party got what they deserved the d.a.'s office chose not only all white jury but a very very racist pro klan jury including people who thought it was less of a crime to kill a communist people who thought that. their neighbors and friends were klansman and i was really ridiculous. that they acquitted the klan and. express both the local and the federal court acquitted the shooters so no one ever went to prison on those killings it was quite amazing. the jury for the first time had a black person and a liberal woman and that trial and the klan and jointly liable with employees of the greensboro police department the survivors pooled the
9:47 pm
resources that we gathered from the civil suit which were of a certain amount of money to set up the greensboro justice fund which is an organization to fund grassroots groups in the us south the funding racial violence and that's really been a tremendous positive legacy this corner of the greens were massacred the civil trial was a partial victory but other than that it was just lots of justice. documenting the klan is something that i feel is a calling in my life. my goal for the project is to document as thoroughly as possible be events the actions and the beliefs of the klan members. attend rallies ten marches.
9:48 pm
cross lighting ceremonies on private property. i've promised these groups only to be fair and objective and documenting what they believe even though a lot of what they do i don't believe it and. i've tried to stick to that promise. no one child that i've hurt with was just five years old when i saw him last. he was a fifth generation klansman and i got this picture of his father assisting him in teaching him how to hold a lip torch carried across lighting ceremony with him in a full row. there has been one instance where were a father of a child and i photographed was extremely upset about about the project and in this one particular photograph that i took of his child next to
9:49 pm
a black ball hanging from a noose the members were joking about stringing out blacks from an air straight and i wrote their comments in their jokes and the captioning of that photograph and it was published in the father of the child saul picture. and i was very upset about it. and some months later i came to an event where i had not had an opportunity to ask for permission to be there. the mother of the child had come out to greet me she said her husband was still a bit upset and it would take a little time for him to get over his anger. about the time i turned around and noticed the father. had a rifle pointed at me with about ten or so of his buddies they circled me and told me that it was time for me to leave and they were counting to five and i had best be gone by the time they finished i made a decision to leave at that point. so i got my car and locked the doors driving
9:50 pm
down the road with a truck full of klansmen behind me yelling and shouting and. coming up on my tail so i was able to stir up enough dust in the gravel road to lose them. and i never turn back you know and i feel fortunate to have gotten out of there without incident most of the clan groups that i've been dealing with feel that they're called by biblical scripture and by god to be separate races they tell me that the lighting of the cross is not a burning but rather of a life that represents the life that jesus brought into the world. today we're looking at not a single clam like we had in the twenty's and during reconstruction but in fact about thirty five thirty six different clan groups and in many cases these clan groups all despise each other right where the one true clan those other guys those
9:51 pm
are you know f.b.i. agents are there you know they sleep with black women or they're secretly gay or you know anyone any number of things like that so you've got this so what the klan seen today are these thirty five kind of squabbling little groups all of which together might comprise six thousand maybe seven thousand at the most people around the country. and they're not taken terribly seriously. the ku klux klan is not what it used to be today but unfortunately there are still many many hate groups out there and they just are known by other names and i think without question that the most important groups out there in terms of scary and significant are neo nazi groups. us. us
9:52 pm
was. was. was was the front runner was that. was was. the one person was. that was your son and the national socialist movement has been around for almost thirty years for about thirty years but in fact it was a non-entity it was a tiny little group that had essentially no importance at all in the larger kind of radical right or white supremacist world but that has changed in the last year this group has almost literally exploded. next gen x. we. have the working class cause we have the skin at. the height of. you know words that tell us marxists and and her
9:53 pm
concern for youth was. coming through was supporters of. the right wing racial groups of which i am not connected to i know a lot of them but we disagree on a lot of things they have the idea. the mass recruitment that we if we get enough people we just got to sign up enough people that we can when we are here stand against fast ration people get worse he will. be tearing we are going to grow we have been growing our growth or nothing stuff we are going to control your point of fact. rich evil evil enough race for our people and for china. and for cars and.
9:54 pm
i. think i'd like to get steve in there and everything everything there. is. these people have to be put in special buses and transported to the demonstration by the police and that to me is the ultimate insult i will not be put in a changeling enclosure here i will not cooperate with police when i talk about my rights to prescreen age forty. three with. the right people in this country that's. one thing about the national socialist movement is that they are very specialized kind of outrage tactics they go up to lido iow and they march sure they try to march into a black neighborhood and what happens is they're stopped by the cops but there's riot.
9:55 pm
is not it's proven that. it's you know we said it was a city said it wasn't ok. we marched the streets and against our rights that i will say was from the national socialist movement's point of view and untrammeled victory you never had to march at all and so you know they're able to go home and watch on t.v. as the network television of all three major network shows you know black people rioting in toledo and sits back and says see that's how they are. thank. you. wow thank you will be. he. was he was was was. was. was
9:56 pm
was was was was wow wow wow. no matter what causes it's happening there's always this infighting and in any struggle now admittedly. so much of it in the right wing is so silly and my cat fights all the time i've always said even though we don't like it it's a sign of some life if there was no life there you would hear nothing.
9:57 pm
what we have found over the years is that perhaps surprisingly the absolute number one recruiting mechanism for bringing young people into the movement is fi the music scene i have talked myself to many many people who've come out of the white supremacist world and said just that you know when i was seventeen sixteen years old angry about this angry about that didn't you know i was a man of my parents for some reason this music interests. of course the real moment for equipment doesn't happen from listening you know on your walkman or whatever to this music the moment of recruitment happens when that kid actually leaves his parents' house and close to his first concert.
