About the Author:
The Ku Klux Klan. Even today, the name conjures up terrifying images: faceless men in white robes with pointed hoods, flaming torches, and fiery crosses, and thundering horses and brutal lynchings. But although its days of riding roughshod through the South are thankfully gone, the Klan does still exist, doing what it can to spread its message of hate.
Martin Gitlin is a freelance educational book writer based in Cleveland, OH.
