Let’s go a step backward in History.

Madge was an American teacher whose rape and murder played a critical role in the demise of the second incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan. In March 1925, while working for the state of Indiana on an adult literacy campaign, she was kidnapped by D. C. Stephenson, Grand Dragon of the Indiana Klan. Holding her captive in his private train car, he raped and tortured her. She died from a combination of a staphylococcal infection from her injuries and kidney failure from mercury chloride poisoning, which she took while held captive in an attempt to commit suicide.

Folks,

we are living terrible times.

I don’t like opening my pc in the morning and start the day with articles on beaheaded people. What’s this?

Whilst watching the video with french people reuniting to pay tribute to Mr Paty, the History teacher, my mind went back to movies that I watched in my youth about KKK. Yes, it sounds weird, like the times when people like families and teachers met in the streets to talk about Ku Klus Klan brutality (police was linked with that brutality, already). So, I did a short research, and I want to share what I found with you.
