Daryl Davis is a blues musician who has spent over 40 years doing something few people would attempt: sitting down with members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups, one on one, to ask them why they hate him. He's been threatened, physically attacked, and called a race traitor by people on both sides. He's also convinced over 200 Klansmen to leave their hate groups entirely—not by arguing them out of their beliefs, but by befriending them long enough for their own convictions to fall apart. He joins Coleman Hughes to talk about how he stays calm in the face of open racism, what white supremacists actually fear, why he refuses to give up on anyone, and what he thinks parents should and shouldn't teach their kids about race.

In this episode of Eyewitness History, I speak with Daryl Davis, an American R&B and blues musician, author, and race-relations activist whose life has uniquely bridged the worlds of music and social change. Davis is widely known for an unconventional and controversial approach to combating racism: engaging directly with members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups through sustained personal dialogue. Over decades of outreach, he has persuaded dozens of Klansmen to renounce their affiliation, and he has documented these encounters in his book Klan-Destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan as well as in the documentary Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (2016). Before his activism gained national attention, Davis established himself as a respected professional musician. A gifted boogie-woogie and blues pianist and vocalist, he studied at Howard University and went on to perform with some of the most iconic figures in American music, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley. His playing style reflects deep roots in traditional blues and early rock-and-roll piano, and he has been recognized within the Washington-area and national blues community for both his technical skill and stage presence. His work is grounded in a belief in communication as a tool for dismantling prejudice, summed up in his view that dialogue, not avoidance, is the most effective response to ignorance and hate. Here, Davis reflects on his unusual journey, the philosophy behind his outreach to the Klan, and the ways music, conversation, and personal encounter have shaped his understanding of human change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Not now, Klansmen, I’m killing vampires! “Sinners” got nominated for all the awards, and it’s also a vampire (with a hint of zombie?) movie. We love it when genre movies get attention, and Ryan Coogler keeps putting out bangers, so we’re all in on the story of magical music opening the door to eldrich horror—oh, and also it’s the deep south in the 1930s so there’s some horrendous racism too!

This week's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for “manufacturing racism to justify its existence” and for “using donor money to profit off Klansmen” should not surprise you. If the SPLC ever was a legitimate humanitarian organization, it ceased being that decades ago.

WAKE UP AMERICA | THE SPLC WAS PAYING THE KKK, THE SUPREME COURT'S SECRET POWER GRAB, AND PETE DAVIDSON'S $700K MISTAKE Yesterday the federal government indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on eleven counts of fraud and money laundering — accusing the organization of secretly funneling three million dollars in donor money to Klansmen, neo-Nazis, and Aryan Nations members through shell companies, in order to manufacture the very extremism they were raising hundreds of millions of dollars to fight. Today we go through every line of that indictment — the prepaid cards, the shell companies, the Unite the Right connection, the hate map that was used to blacklist conservative America, and the question nobody in the legacy media will ask: how many of the dots on that map were kept alive on donor money? Then Judge Andrew Napolitano joins us to break open a story buried for ten years — how Chief Justice John Roberts and four colleagues secretly rewired the Supreme Court in February 2016 while Justice Scalia was on vacation, erased two hundred years of constitutional precedent, and gave birth to the Shadow Docket. This one will make your blood boil. Plus O.W. Root of The Fitting Room joins us on Pete Davidson's $700K tattoo removal journey, the cleanskin vindication, and what his laser bill tells us about American men, identity, and a culture that confused trend-following for self-expression.

Next week, the Supreme Court is going to hear a huge civil rights case that no one is talking about—because the legal issue before the Court is the Rooker-Feldman doctrine, an obscure and slightly treasonous doctrine that lets federal judges throw worthy cases out of court without reaching the merits. On this episode, we examine the doctrine's impact as well as its origins, including the life and times of the litigants for whom it is named, William Rooker and Marc Feldman. Rooker was a big shot Indiana lawyer who represented lynching victims and Klansmen. And Marc Feldman was a professor of law who fought for the little guy. Click here for transcript. Rooker v.

It's February 28th 1930, A biter cold night in Oakville Ontario Canada. The streets are quiet—still—until the sound begins. A Slow. Rhythmic. Sound of Boots striking pavement. 75 men are marching down the middle of the street, an unusual sight in this small Ontario town. Even more unsettling is what they're wearing: white robes, and pointed hoods   The klan has arrived on a mission, they have heard that a Black man and a white woman have been seen in each others company and they have arrived to do something about it.   #canadianhistory #celebrateblackhistory #oakvilleontario #bhms #blackhistory365

Prolific investigative reporter Jerry Mitchell, who's stories have helped put four Klansmen and a serial killer behind bars, helped free two people from death row, exposed injustices and corruption, prompting investigations and reforms as well as the firings of boards and officials, weighs in on his Mississippi Today article; "Medgar Evers' killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist" as the National Park Service removes brochures from the Evers Monument describing assassin and domestic terrorist Byron De La Beckwith as a "racist". 

Part 1:We talk with Dr. Douglas Teschner, co-author of"Beyond the Politics of Contempt: Practical Steps to Build Positive Relationships in Divided Times".We discuss how we can talk with and attempt to connect with people who have wildly different political opinions from us. How to get over the tribalism that that now pervades in the US.Part 2:We talk with Prof. Jonathan Feingold, of Boston University, School of Law, and co-creator of Race Class.#RaceClass Ep. 51 | Trump Makes Whiteness Great AgainArnie and Jon discuss JD Vances openly white supremacist screed at last weeks Turning Point USA conference AmericaFest. Alongside remarks defending racist speech, Vance proclaimed that In the United States of America you dont have to apologize for being white anymore. As others have observed, this language invokes white supremacists from the past century " including leading southern Klansmen. Vances comments followed the Department of Justice eliminating disparate impact liability from its civil rights enforcement and the EEOC asking white men to file discrimination complaints when they feel victimized by DEI. Its increasingly hard to deny that segregation is the goal. Beyond putting everyone in their place, the Trump regime wants to normalize all of the hate-filled and empirical fraught racial and gender tropes that rationalized pre-civil rights America.Jonathan FeingoldProfessor of LawBoston University School of Lawjfeingol@bu.edu | #RaceClass Podcast | researchWNHNFM.ORG  productionMusic: David Rovics

I had Andrew Allgasser (the guy with literally no brakes) in the studio with me again this Tuesday. We barely got started before we were both laughing about getting jolted awake at 3 a.m. by those tornado-warning sirens. Dogs were fine, sheep were fine, chickens didn't fly the coop; life was good. Some folks just north of us in Terry got hammered, but we skated.   Then we dove straight into the video I posted last night: the now-world-famous Madison Walmart handicapped-parking meltdown. If you somehow missed it, a woman named Jasmine Handy parked in a handicapped, got called out by a little old white lady who was still filming when Handy came back out, and Handy proceeded to go full ghetto-goblin on her: screaming, cussing, threatening, the whole circus. And then, because the internet is undefeated, Jasmine doubled down on social media bragging that she always parks handicapped, knows the fine, doesn't care, and even asked where she could buy a fake placard. I declared her the Insufferable Turd of the Day, and that was being generous.   That one video turned into a three-hour conversation about everything that's broken. We talked about how we've created an entire class of “cancel-proof” people who face zero consequences for anything because the check still comes on the first of the month no matter how big a jackass they are in public. I said I'm past “ghetto fatigue” and straight into “black fatigue,” because “it ain't all of 'em, but it's always them” in these viral videos, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. Andrew pushed back a little, reminding me there are tons of good black folks who hate this crap too and just wish more of their own would call it out like we do with our trash.   We both agreed social media has turned into a megaphone that rewards the worst behavior and is accelerating the temperature rise on what already feels like a cold civil war. I told him I genuinely believe it's going kinetic in our lifetime, and neither one of us wants to be here when it does, but we're not running from the conversation either.   I went off pretty hard on why I'm against school choice: I don't want one cancer kid from a rotten culture showing up at Northwest Rankin or Madison Central and ruining what parents have spent decades building. Andrew's more open to it but admits there have to be iron-clad controls to protect the culture of the good districts.   We also laughed about the protesters who dressed up like discount Klansmen yesterday outside Pearl City Hall with crayon-made signs and stolen bedsheets. I told them congratulations, they just turned me into the guy who accidentally made black dudes put on Klan robes in 2025 Mississippi. That's a Twilight Zone plot I never saw coming.   Wrapped up talking about how white liberals built this giant, unnatural coalition (urban blacks, Muslims, the LGBTQ crowd) thinking they could all live happily under the same big tent forever. I told Andrew the second real power is on the table, that tent's coming down fast, and the gay folks are getting thrown off the roof first. Dark? Yeah. True? Also yeah.   Threw in some respect for cops and vets too, because people forget those guys see things the human eye was never meant to see, then have to go pull over Laquisha for running a stop sign five minutes later and we wonder why they're salty.   All in all, one of the most intense, wide-open, no-filter shows we've done in a while. I walked out of the studio thinking, “Man, I really don't like having to say this stuff out loud… but somebody's gotta.” See y'all tomorrow.  

In this week's episode, Madigan discusses the history of women's involvement in the KKK throughout history. From assisting the male Klansmen to running their own WKKK to budding into the millennium by infiltrating the internet as well. You'll also meet a variety of individual women, who helped make the racist organization's belief system something that would permeate every aspect of American life.

Wilk Wilkinson, host of Derate the Hate and Director of Media Systems and Operations at Braver Angels, joins host Cody Cook to talk about our polarized political climate and how to rise above it. Braver Angels is a cross-partisan grassroots movement that strives to bridge toxic partisan divides through civil dialogue and civic renewal. Wilkinson shares his journey from a “toxic keyboard warrior” to advocating for depolarized conversations, emphasizing that dialogue doesn't mean compromising core beliefs—like a libertarian's stance against state violence—but fosters understanding. Can you engage neo-Nazis or Klansmen? Wilkinson, friends with de-radicalization expert Daryl Davis, insists even the darkest minds can teach us something, preventing downstream harm. While fear-driven memes grab clicks, Braver Angels' love-based approach, though more challenging to scale, builds trust over outrage. Wilkinson's Derate the Hate podcast and BraverAngels.org invite you to join this patriotic movement to heal divides.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com Use code LCI50 for 50% off your first order at Podsworth.com to clean up your voice recordings and also support LCI!Full Podsworth Ad Read BEFORE & AFTER processing:https://youtu.be/vbsOEODpQGs  ★ Support this podcast ★

Daryl Davis is a civil rights activist and author who has devoted his life to bridging the gap between racial divide by seeking out the roots of racism. In doing so, Daryl has attended countless Ku Klux Klan rallies, come face-to-face with Klansmen and Klanswomen and as a result successfully been the impetus for over 200 Klan members to leave their hatred behind and hang up their robe. Daryl joined us on NightSide to share his fascinating and inspiring life's work of turning hatred, racism and bias into friendship and admiration. He literally has a closet full of robes and hoods of KKK members who he helped reverse course away from racism and a life of hatred! You don't want to miss this hour of radio!

In this gripping episode, we dive deep into Race Against Time—the astonishing true story of how award-winning investigative journalist Jerry Mitchell helped reopen some of the most notorious unsolved murder cases from the civil rights era. From the infamous Mississippi Burning murders to the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer's home and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing, Mitchell's relentless pursuit of truth helped expose hidden crimes, unmask KKK killers, and bring long-delayed justice to the victims of racial violence.Through dogged reporting, secret FBI documents, and chilling confrontations with former Klansmen, Mitchell cracked cold cases that had gone untouched for decades. His work led to the convictions of men who believed they'd gotten away with racist murders committed in the shadows of Jim Crow America.This is not just a story of murder and conspiracy—it's a story of courage, accountability, and the power of journalism to right historical wrongs. If you're drawn to true crime, racial justice, civil rights history, and investigative reporting, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, there's the horseshoe theory against Israel on Iran, which says that the radical left and right political ideologies, such as radical leftists (e.g., Communists, Islamists) and far-right groups (e.g., Klansmen, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, isolationists), converge in their views and actions, forming an alliance despite apparent differences. That's why we see Bernie Sanders agree with Chatsworth Qatarlson (Tucker Carlson) and Steve Bannon. Bannon claims Mark Levin, Sean Hannity, Kayleigh McEnany, and Fox News should be investigated for supporting Israel. One would think he would be careful about saying who should be investigated after his past. Matt Gaetz is back saying that Israel doesn't allow Arabs to vote, which is a flat-out lie.  As time goes on these people all reveal themselves as the crazy people they are with no loyalty to President Trump or MAGA. Also, Trump is a historic figure leading efforts to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions. Israel's military actions, including destroying Iranian radar and weakening their defenses, make it easier for U.S. or Israeli forces to strike nuclear sites like Fordo. Americans are not warmongers or neo-cons. The American public supports these actions, rejects isolationism, and opposes being labeled warmongers by “fake MAGA” critics. Later, Gov Ron DeSantis calls in to explain Florida's efforts to evacuate Americans in Israel. The state evacuated 1,500 people, including college students and families, with two planeloads of 160-170 passengers already returned to Tampa. He emphasized the emotional relief of families, particularly those with young children, and Florida's commitment to continue the mission, utilizing resources like cruise ships to Cyprus for safe transport. DeSantis also discusses his push to reform property taxes in Florida, focusing on exempting primary residences (homesteaded properties) from property taxes. Homeowners don't truly own their homes if they must continuously pay property taxes, as failure to pay could result in government seizure. Finally, Alexander Hamilton's view of liberty and government contrasted sharply with that of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, favoring a stronger, more centralized federal authority. While Madison, in Federalist No. 45, emphasized that the Constitution granted the federal government limited, defined powers—primarily over external affairs like war and foreign commerce—leaving broad authority to the states, Hamilton advocated for a more robust national government. At the Constitutional Convention, he proposed a powerful executive and legislature with lifelong terms, reflecting his preference for centralized control, though these ideas were swiftly rejected. Despite his role in co-authoring the Federalist Papers to support the Constitution's ratification, Hamilton's vision aligns with modern proponents of an activist government, contributing to his popularity among contemporary elites in media, politics, and academia, as evidenced by Hamilton the musical.

The musician and actor Daryl Davis probably knows more about the Klu Klux Klan than any other living African-American. As the author of Klan-Destine Relationships and his latest The Klan Whisperer, Davis has written about not only his infiltration of the Klan but his befriending of regretful Klansmen like Scott Shepherd (My wife, Cassandra Knight, also wrote about her dinner with Shepherd). Davis' new book should probably be entitled My Life with the Klan. But as the ideas of the Klan have become more mainstream in the last few years, so the traditional KKK itself seems like a quaint relic of a more innocent past. In the old days, you had to hide under a white sheet to say dumb things about people of other colors or faiths. Now these same dumb assumptions are being openly peddled by powerful media figures and elected politicians. Here are the five KEEN ON AMERICA take-aways from our conversation with Davis:* The power of conversation as a tool against hatred: Davis emphasizes that conversation is "the greatest tool or weapon to dismantle conflict" despite being "the least expensive" and "the most underused." His approach involves engaging directly with KKK members to challenge their beliefs through dialogue rather than confrontation.* People can change their racist beliefs: Davis firmly believes that racist ideologies are learned behaviors that can be unlearned. He makes a distinction between inherent traits (like a leopard's spots) and acquired beliefs, arguing that "what can be learned can be unlearned." He provides concrete examples like Scott Shepard, a former Klansman who completely transformed his worldview.* Understanding racism through personal experience: Davis's background as a diplomat's son who traveled extensively gave him a unique perspective on racism. Having been exposed to diversity from an early age, he was shocked when he first experienced racism at age 10, which led to his lifelong quest to understand and combat prejudice.* Core human values transcend differences: Davis believes that regardless of background, all humans share five core values: wanting to be loved, respected, heard, treated fairly and truthfully, and wanting the same things for their families as others want for theirs. He uses this understanding as a foundation for connecting with people across ideological divides.* The importance of distinguishing between ignorance and stupidity: Davis makes a crucial distinction between people who are ignorant (lacking information) versus stupid (having information but ignoring it). He believes education and exposure can cure ignorance, which is why he focuses on providing information and personal connection to those with racist beliefs.Dr. Daryl Davis is an international recording artist who has performed and toured all 50 States and around the world. He has performed extensively with Chuck Berry, The Legendary Blues Band (formerly The Muddy Waters Blues Band), Elvis Presley's Jordanaires, and many others. As an actor Daryl received rave reviews for his stage role in The Time Of Your Life, and has done film and television roles including HBO's acclaimed series The Wire. As a race relations expert Dr. Daryl Davis has received numerous awards and high acclaim for his book Klan-Destine Relationships and his award-winning film documentary Accidental Courtesy.

In this podcast, Aran Shetterly discusses his recent book, “Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul,” a recounting of all but forgotten, though no less shocking, 1979 racial tragedy that divided Greensboro, North Carolina and then the nation. The book details how a caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis attacked a procession of protestors, resulting in the deaths of five people.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Aran Shetterly about his book, Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre and the Struggle for an American City's Soul. On November 3, 1979, as activist Nelson Johnson assembled people for a march adjacent to Morningside Homes in Greensboro, North Carolina, gunshots rang out. A caravan of Klansmen and Neo-Nazis sped from the scene, leaving behind five dead. Known as the “Greensboro Massacre,” the event and its aftermath encapsulate the racial conflict, economic anxiety, clash of ideologies, and toxic mix of corruption and conspiracy that roiled American democracy then—and threaten it today. In 88 seconds, one Southern city shattered over irreconcilable visions of America's past and future. When the shooters are acquitted in the courts, Reverend Johnson, his wife Joyce, and their allies, at odds with the police and the Greensboro establishment, sought alternative forms of justice. As the Johnsons rebuilt their lives after 1979, they found inspiration in Nelson Mandela's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Martin Luther King Jr's concept of Beloved Community and insist that only by facing history's hardest truths can healing come to the city they refuse to give up on.

Show Notes: Aran Shetterly,  a self-professed late bloomer, took a year off in the middle of his studies to pursue an Echoing Green fellowship, which allowed him to set up a nonprofit in Costa Rica to link volunteers to environmental organizations there. He then decided to pursue a master's in American and New England studies from the University of Southern Maine. However, after completing his masters, he realized he needed to explore the world in a different way. He moved to New York and worked as an editorial assistant. A year later, he met an old school friend who founded an internet startup called Comet Systems. Aran  recounts his experiences in the world of internet ethics and the impact of internet spyware on the US. He recalls when he was on his way to a meeting with Yahoo to discuss a partnership when he learned that Comet Systems was accused of creating spyware. At Yahoo he was given a lecture on internet ethics.  Researching Castro's Rebellion and The Fight Against It Aran talks about a trip to Cuba where he learns about Fidel Castro's rebellion and the support of internationals during the Spanish Civil War. He met William Morgan, who was a key figure in the fight against Castro. This meeting inspired Aran to leave Comet Systems and start writing his book. Upon returning from the trip, Aran searched for information about Morgan and sent a Freedom of Information Act request to the CIA. He receives two inches of redacted documents, which he uses to write his first book, "The Americano Fighting with Castro for Cuba's Freedom." Aran summarizes the story and how Morgan played a double agent role in uncovering a plot to topple Castro, but later turned against the revolution as it turned communist. Aran recounts his six-month stay in Cuba, where he worked on two projects: setting up an exchange of artists between Maine and Cuba, and conducting research on the Kennedy assassination. He was often followed by officials from the interior ministry and almost ended up in jail. He also spent time in Miami researching the revolutionaries who were excluded from Castro's rebellion. He spent time researching the Kennedy assassination investigation.  From Mexico to the Greensboro Massacre Aran and his wife Margo met while working at Comet Systems. They fell in love and decided to launch an English language magazine and website called Inside Mexico, which they launched in Mexico City in 2005. He talks about journalists they worked with and stories they covered, and how the magazine finally came to an end. After ten years in Mexico, they were drawn back to the U.S. when Margo's book proposal was optioned by a production company. The book was a success, and the couple had to come back to help promote it. In 2015, he met Reverend Nelson Johnson and Joyce Johnson, who told the story of the Greensboro massacre, a civil rights activist and Black Power leader who were trying to organize textile mills in North Carolina. The Greensboro massacre occurred when Neo Nazis and Klansmen shot and killed five and injured 10 workers during a march to educate workers about the divisive nature of the Ku Klux Klan.  Morningside - An FBI Investigation and a Hole in the Story Aran's latest book, Morningside, is about the Greensboro shooting investigation, which he gained access to through interviews with FBI agent Cecil Moses. Moses provided valuable insights into the FBI's perspective and the importance of the Greensboro investigation in reclaiming some esteem in American society. The book also explores the truth and reconciliation process, which was the first place in the United States to bring the South African model to work out the events surrounding the shooting. Aran found that there was a misunderstanding about the history that still keeps people in Greensboro divided. He discovered that the narratives set about who's to blame for the shooting were deeply entrenched within the social community and the extent to which access to one's tribe depends on adhering to a certain narrative. This information was extremely informative and showed how difficult some divides are and how entrenched they are. Aran believes that much work needs to be done to work out these hermetic narratives that keep people on different sides of important historical moments. He believes that the book will help readers understand the complex and interconnected nature of the Greensboro shooting and the ongoing struggle to reconcile different perspectives on important historical moments. Harvard Professors and Courses of Influence Aran discusses his experiences at Harvard and how his fellow students and friends were hugely influential. He highlights three standout professors who made interdisciplinary connections in his work, which appealed to his sensibility: Stephen J. Gould, Philip Fisher in the English Department, and Bradley Epps in the Romance Language Department.

This is Angelo Milazzo, proud member of the class of 1992 the featured nonprofit of this episode of The 92 report is children's flight of hope. Children's flight of hope is a nonprofit organization based here in sunny North Carolina, which has a mission of providing flights for essential, specialized life changing and life saving medical care for children in need, these flights are amazing in that they bring children who otherwise might not be able to travel to centers of excellence around the United States, where they can receive innovative, cutting edge and in some cases, miraculous care. These flights are provided to children and their families at no cost, which goes a huge way toward easing the emotional and financial burden on families. I had the privilege of serving on the board of children's flight of hope many years ago, I served for several years following the organization's inauguration. In the late 90s, the organization has grown and has evolved to the point where it is now partnering with major air carriers to provide this life saving transportation for pediatric patients.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's conversation is both powerful and eye-opening. We're exploring an untold chapter of the Civil Rights Movement, one that's been overshadowed for decades by other, more well-known events. On June 9, 1964, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, hundreds of Black men, women, and children gathered at First African Baptist Church to march for equality. What happened next became known as Bloody Tuesday—a day of brutal police violence, where law enforcement, backed by deputized white citizens and Klansmen, attacked innocent protesters with tear gas, fire hoses, and nightsticks. Yet for years, this horrific event remained buried in history.Our guest today is Smithsonian Associate, historian John M. Giggie, has devoted more than a decade to uncovering this pivotal moment.

TrineDay's The Journey Podcast 161Dr. Jeffrey CaufieldGeneral Walker and The Murder of President KennedyPublisher R. A. “Kris” Millegan speaks with Dr. Jeffrey Caufield, author of GENERAL WALKER AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDY: The Extensive New Evidence of a Radical-Right Conspiracy, meticulously researched over 25 years using documents from the National Archives, the FBI, other archival sources, and many personal interviews.Topics discussed:His book is chock-full of information, especially about Lee Harvey Oswald. Each chapter has a summary at the end, making for easy reading.Oswald was often in Guy Banister's office in New Orleans in the summer of 1963. Banister was former head of the FBI in Chicago and was a close friend of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.Banister and those around him were far-right anti-communists and rabid racists who tarred the civil rights movement as communist to demonize it and shut it down. The Louisiana Un-American Committee, comprised of vicious Klansmen, was Banister's organization.The US was on the verge of a second civil war over civil rights, especially in the South. Joseph Milteer, caught on tape predicting that JFK would be killed by a shooter with a high-powered rifle from an office building, was friends not only with Guy Bannister but also with the right-wing General Walker.The Warren Commission concluded Oswald shot at General Walker in his home. More likely Oswald was accused to smear him as a leftist capable of violence.GENERAL WALKER AND THE MURDER OF PRESIDENT KENNEDYThe Extensive New Evidence of a Radical-Right ConspiracyAvailable at the usual sellers.It is a story we're all pretty sure we know. On a fateful day in Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswald—working alone—shot President John F. Kennedy. End of story.Or is it?In General Walker and the Murder of President Kennedy: The Extensive New Evidence of a Radical-Right Conspiracy, author Jeffrey H. Caufield explores the forces which led Oswald to be in Dallas that day. Unlike many theorists, however, Dr. Caufield applies acquired academic methodology in rigorously researching the story through public records, private correspondence, and a number of sources not available to the general public until the Freedom of Information Act released them.Caufield explains that when President Kennedy relieved Major General Edwin A. Walker of his command in Germany in 1961, he (Kennedy) started the chain of events that would lead to his own death.In June 1963, President Kennedy proposed his sweeping Civil Rights Act bill that would abolish the sacred Southern institution of segregation. In response, the segregationists threatened a second Civil War that culminated in the murder of JFK.Working with a who's who of fellow right-wing radicals (including some of the most powerful military and political leaders of the time), Walker was in the forefront of a plot to assassinate a large number of people in power positions in both government and industry. This plot, masterminded by Walker, evolved into a plan to assassinate President Kennedy and made Oswald an unwitting pawn in one of our country's greatest historical mysteries.Meticulously researched over 25 years using documents from the National Archives, the FBI, and other archival sources—along with extensive personal interviews—this book presents a massive amount of new evidence. Never before has there been such compelling proof of the involvement of the radical right and General Walker in the murder of the president.

In 1964, the partial remains of two black teenagers — Charles Moore and Henry Dee — were pulled from a backwater of the Mississippi River. Brutally murdered by the Ku Klux Klan, no one was ever convicted. In one of his first ever cold case investigations, Someone Knows Something host David Ridgen joins victim's brother Thomas Moore, as he returns to Mississippi 40 years later to discover the truth, confront the Klansmen involved, and find justice.

With a sinister hierarchy of "grand wizards" and "dragons," hooded Klansmen concealed their identities as they unleashed a reign of terror on Black Americans and other minorities across America for almost a century.Dan is joined by Professor Kristofer Allerfeldt from the University of Exeter to map out the rise and fall of the KKK founded in 1866 by Confederate veterans in Tennessee, as a vehicle for white Southerners to resist Reconstruction and the enfranchisement of Black Americans right through to the 21st century.Produced by Mariana Des Forges, James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Think America is headed for another civil war? You might not after this episode. The war, and Abraham Lincoln's election, owe a lot to a paramilitary youth movement called the Wide Awakes. It fired up the struggling Republican Party, long before it became “anti-woke”, uniting all kinds of Americans against the corrupt, pro-slavery Democratic Party. Supporters ranged from future Klansmen to free Blacks, all fighting for the same cause. Smithsonian curator Jon Grinspan tells the story in his new book, “Wide Awake: The Forgotten Force that Elected Lincoln and Spurred the Civil War”. It's astonishing how much Americans don't know about our history, but this will change your perspective on where the country is headed.
