Negro violence and Ku Klux Klan stance in Alabama unrest
The piece discusses a wave of lawless acts by black individuals in Alabama’s black belt, including arson and shooting at law enforcement, and argues that white vigilante groups like the Ku Klux Klan are needed to uphold law and order while condemning the counterclaims that the Klan is to blame for the night riders.
