During Civil Rights Movement

I highly recommend you watch this. During the civil rights movement when black Americans registered to vote the Klan used their registration information to target them for intimidation, beatings, employment termination and even for murder. Those in the highest offices were complicit in many murders and other violence. We need to know our history to understand the reverberations of those issues into our present day. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/spies-of-mississippi/
