Back in the days, the black people needed to fight for their human right to equality. Why was it so? It seemed that way back and still; they are being looked down at. The blacks have been suppressed in so many years up to the 60s, but at that time there was a man who had had enough, his name was Martin Luther King, it was he who stood up for the whole black people to set a better world for them as equals to the white. There were many who agreed to this - which of course was the right thing, since we are all made of flesh and blood, but there were some that did not find this pleasing, and funny enough they did not turn into democratic ways of resistance, they turned to the way violence and they called the selves the Ku Klux Klan aka KKK. They began many years before Martin Luther, around the 1920s actually. At 1st they were an organization that was against immigration of Catholics and Jews to the USA from Europe, but later on their wrath was unleashed on other groups of people, the blacks. How big were they actually? Their number was uncertain, but in the 1930s they officially reached 4 million members. And got more known as a secret white terrorist group, which did not accept the blacks as equals. Why did they dress in white? It seemed that dressing in white stressed their beliefs that they were superior to the blacks and used the white color to scare off the black people from their territory. If you were black at the time and tried to vote or get an education: tried to be something, you would be subject for many unpleasant things, like being called names, bullied and beating from whites who were supporting the brand matters of the Ku Klux Klan.
