"When the Ku Klux Rode" by Eyre Damer provides a compelling examination of the Ku Klux Klan's emergence and its violent campaign to enforce white supremacy. Through meticulous research, Damer unveils the chilling tactics employed by the Klan, including intimidation and terror, as they sought to undermine the newly established rights of African Americans. This essential document not only sheds light on the historical context of racial violence but also delves into the broader implications of civil rights and social justice. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this work serves as a crucial resource for understanding the complexities of American history and the enduring struggle for equality.
