the military governor of several southern states and was perhaps the first to sound the alarm about the ku klux klan. although the klan clan to be a patriae organization and to recognize the constitution and its laws, thomas saw through its mask. and memorable words he described it as "a species of hands, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit favor nisha of patriotism, so that the precipitated of the rebellion might go down in history hand-to-hand with the defenders of the government." the us, wiping out with their own hands their own stains." rightly convince the klan would soon evolve into an armed organization designed to control southern elections to a violence and intimidation, thomas repeatedly warned washington of the peril of its rise. honors came his way. he received the thanks of congress in 1865 in a formal resolution in the following year, he reluctantly agreed to appear before the house of representatives. escorted to the speaker's stand thomas was greeted by a tremendous ovation. it was almost too much for him, overcome by modesty and embarrassment.

would you say that the campaign of terror from the ku klux klan, the white citizens council, enforced by the segregation laws and law enforcement perpetuated these ideas, reinforced by the hollywood roles such as montana molan? do you think that this brought back a sort of mental slavery on that next generation that we are dealing with now to this point? >> yes. i should have you appear. and to answer the question of what happened. completely agree. so the reason why it ended was because the former masters did not believe, could not believe that we thought we were better than our segregation. that we actually had the nerve to become equals, right? that was the reason segregation construction and. we were taking advantage of all the opportunities and we no longer were slaves. and i think what happened, which is fascinating, that there was -- our history has been eaten out of us. i am literally in the sense it has been destroyed. there was a georgian lawmaker that was quoted as saying he wanted to destroy any record of african-american -- of freed slaves in the legislature because they

it was so on one level amusing because you don't think the ku klux klan would have a calling card, butthey did and they would leave it on our front porch. it is the one that says, the eyes of the clan are upon you, so we had a dog and we had a rifle and that is one of the places where we would have been violence, because we very much believe in defending ourselves and the thinning our child, who was one, too, three and four years old. rebecca, she started to grow up ther also was a time when the klan was firebombing a lot of people, some of them are friends. so, that is who he was and he is today my friend. >> host: next call for the alice walker, we're going to take a break but the next call comes from manga qada minnesota. >> caller: heidi mrs. walker, this is jared. how are you doing today? i want to say first off, yes some awesome dreads, i love your hair. i read "the color purple". i think it is a great book but i was wondering your opinion on why we desperately need to reschedule cannas and also to impeach george bush before the next attack on america. >> guest: before the next w
