http://www.paperlessarchives.com/kkk_1871_testimony.html; Why haven't we ever heard of acts the U.S. government declared "terrorism" in 1869? 1871 Congressional Testimony Documents on the Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy.

"... in our call to defend, organize, and empower newcomers, social outcasts, "have-nots" and people of color, we often forget to question institutional structures that allow the transfer of power and privilege from one set of hands to another in a way that sustains pre-existing forms of inequality.
