The Ku Klux Klan is the oldest terrorist group in the United States. This secret society, created
in 1865, has survived throughout the decades and has always managed to rise from its ashes.
It has been making the news for over 150 years. 150 years of hatred, racism, and horror. A
cruel history whose demons still haunt America.

Part 2:
With the civil rights movement gaining momentum, the Ku Klux Klan once again
set out on the march in the Southern United States. Complicity with local authorities, white
supremacists unleashed a wave of hatred in the 1960s: the attack on the church in
Birmingham, the assassination of civil rights activists. Their crimes shocked public opinion.
Under political pressure, the FBI went on the offensive. The result: in the 1970s, the Klan had
only a few thousand members left. A new leader, David Duke, tried for a time to give it a
veneer of respectability, but terror was still part of the organization's DNA. Little by little, the
Klansmen swapped their hoods for military fatigues and swastika tattoos. Today the ranks of
the Klan and other supremacist groups are swelling once again in Donald Trump's America.
