what they call the fourth era klan want to 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 . 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 inspiration and conference and when the third one hundred seventy nine. i was one of the coordinators of the march so i was kind of busily looking in on this not young thing and was actually standing on the street corner for a little while not far from seeing the smith. line of cars. moving very slowly came down the street and cindy said it's weird since it was we said no cops here. she was right and cindy was dead moments later. i saw this caravan

so that they 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. klan and jointly liable with employees of the greensboro police department the survivors pool the resources that we gathered from the civil suit which were the certain amount of money to set up the greensboro justice fund which is an organization to fund grassroots groups in the u.s. south through funding racial violence and that's really been a tremendous positive legacy this corner of the greens were a massacre i'd say the civil trial was a partial victory but other than that it was just lots of justice. documenting the klan as something i feel is a calling on my wife. my goal for the project is to document as thoroughly as possible they have vents the actions and the beliefs of the klan members. attend rallies ten marches. cross lighting ceremonies on private prope

were you interested in bringing dignity to the klan? well, first of all, i never claimed to bring any dignity to the homeless. i've always said that, you know, people have said to me, "you've made these people so dignified. you've given them so much dignity." and i always say, "i haven't given them anything "that i--they don't already possess. all i've done is to light them well, you know." but yeah, i photographed the klan in much the same way, close up, a little bit from below, and you know, making them pretty much bigger than life and monumental as i did with the homeless. and, you know, i've always said that my work is open to interpretation. and so when you see, even though the homeless and the klan have been photographed the same way, what you see is up to you. (anderson) in your morgue series, you took on a topic that also has been dealt with in the history of art. late 19th-century french painters would occasionally paint from the morgue. how would that series, for you, be a shift in your work? and how is it different from, say,

klan. >> how many years ago?agon. if he had been a republican he would still be vilified today. if you're a liberal grand dragon and republican grand dragon. >> how many black people do you have to lynch to be a grand in the ku klux klan. that's my question. i want to piggyback off what my ideological brethren have been saying and i think we need to hold both accountable. we need to hold the republican establishment accountable for not doing enough to convey how some republican policies can benefit the black communities and hold black people accountab accountable. don't dismiss something someone is saying by virtue of them being -- by virtue of them being republican and don't automatically accept what a democrat says. i believe in a la carte politics. look at what both sides have to say and make -- form late an objective opinion. i don't believe that i want all black people to become republicans. but i would like to see -- >> democrats. >> i would like to see xe ittition because we benefit if both parties are com

tiny problem with general nathan bedford for it's past you see he was a grand wizard in the klu klux klan after the civil war so obviously the thought of honoring a member of the k.k.k. isn't really sitting well with everybody the end of lacey if he calls the move stupid i would call it something a little bit worse than that and some of the sane residents of the state are also none too happy about the idea they've started a facebook group called mississippians against the commemoration of grand wizard nathan forrest and they created a drawing of what it could look like complete with a hooded klansman and the center of a regular mississippi car tag so to prove the point of the tag is a bad idea we decided to come up with a few other suggestions on how states out there could alter their residents who have questionable pasts how about california getting a play honoring charles manson i mean yeah he killed people but was he really just fighting crime in his own way i think it all depends on who you ask now down in florida you know there is a huge jewish population so should maybe the state of

but also for us as americans, it's important for us not to see the society as tribes and klans. this is a very complex society. it has modern writers, women activists, it has professionals. it has a rich history. but we didn't care to understand anything but gaddafi and that regime at the top. there is a whole libyan society that needs to be discovered and studied and understood, and i say that about my own colleagues and scholars who always talk about gaddafi himself and nothing else existed. and i think it's an important moment for us to discover those members of libyan society that finally may be having its moment. but as we say in america "better late than ever." >> thank you very much, ali ahmida and khaled mattawa from the university of michigan. >> rose: oil prices have soared to the highest levels in more than two years as political turmoil has spread across the middle east. libya produces 1.8 million-barrel's day. it's the 15th largest exporter of crude oil in the world. libya's output has plunged by 20% has foreign companies have shut down production. joining me is cha
