How horrible this must have been for this woman to witness. In the 1950s the south was a hot bed of racist activity, but Alabama was an especially difficult place to be for people of color.
At the time Klan members were open about their membership to such a gross group, and did everything they could to terrorize anyone who wasn’t a white man. It’s so upsetting to think about the ways they oppressed people simply by existing.
Even though the Civil Rights movement brought an end to the Jim Crowe south, racism will always be a sad part of life.
