Black Denies Joining Ku Klux Klan After Admission
Former Associate Justice Hugo L Black told a national radio audience that he did join the Ku Klux Klan but resigned and never again aligned with its aims. He cited his Senate and private life record to claim no prejudice, while acknowledging a life pass given after his election. The address drew protests nationwide and questions about his fitness for the Supreme Court. President Roosevelt stayed silent on action, and legal bids to review Black’s eligibility were filed and postponed.
