Mitch Marotti research on Ku Klux Klan

A relevant photo


The Ku Klux Klan started in 1886. This group was all created by a court case in the decision on the school court case Brown vs. Board of Education.  The group struggled the opposition of blacks, and Jews. All of the members of this clan must be 100 percent white. Their purpose of this clan was to re-nite and to defend the white race from other races in America found during this time of period. another of there goal was to kept other people acts of violence to focused on African Americans and Jews. They also hurt a lot of people and this resulted in violence. There was a lot of people focused in this group only whites.

Two specific details that I found from some research were very interesting.  One of the interesting things of reasearch that I found where that the Ku Klux Klan is still around today in very small groups not large groups. Another interesting fact that I found was that you have to be all white to be in this group. There can both be men and women in this group. The value that this subject has is that many people were killed or hurt form what they believe in. My parents taught me to stand up for what you believe in and this is what they did.

  1. The thing that I found to be most interesting was the fact that both men and women can be in the KKK. I feel like whenever I see the KKK potrayed it's usually only men.

  2. As a Christian, I don't always agree with Jews, but that does not mean I want to see them all dead. I'd prefer a peaceful tranquility. The same can be said of blacks.

  3. Interesting point you bring up Mitch, Saying, "My parents taught me to stand up for what you believe in and this is what they did." My parents told me the same thing and it seems like a great thing to say and believe in but i bet the parents in the south were saying it to their kids and those kids stood up for what they believed in and joined the KKK.

  5. I agree with Lou, I wasn't aware that women could be in the KKK. It's crazy to think that this is around today. These radical views are so naive.
    Check out the movie American History X if you guys get a chance. It's SO good. it's a hollywood movie about modern day skin heads.

  8. I learned a lot from this and didn't know that the KKK was still largely popular in certain areas.
