 Fifty year ago, the FBI opened widespread murder investigations into what was left of the Ku Klux Klan in Louisiana.  The Klan had once held a significant presence statewide throughout the first half of the 20th century. But following the enactment of 1964 Civil Rights Act, the FBI was given the authority to crack down on what used to be unevenly enforced state violations, and Klan activity in the Bayou State slowed to a trickle.  The Klan is long gone, but there are still a number of unsolved murders.  Check out my new column on the Klan’s past activities, and whether closure will come in the future.  You can read it by going to the Red Flashing Box above, or by Clicking Here.
