Hooded Ku Klux Klan Surrenders Georgia Charter
The Hooded Ku Klux Klan surrendered its Georgia charter in a surprise move as State Attorney General Eugene Cook said the group could still operate as a national body under constitutional rights. Judge Bond Almand would approve the surrender and uphold a state suit seeking revocation, noting the dissolution would affect other states’ charters tied to the Georgia parent. Morgan Belser said the national group disbanded years ago but kept a charter to prevent misuse of its name.
