Americans of many races, creeds, and faiths are joined in the continuing struggle against Ku Kluxery recorded in these pages. HS2330.K 322.4'20973-dc465 To all those who ever have or ever will stand up to and struggle against the Ku Klux Klan and the bigotry for which it stands and also to all those who shared with me the risk, anxiety, deprivation, and work which went into this investigation and book.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: Stetson Kennedy after being released by Capitol police following his unsuccessful attempt in 1946 to interest the House Un-American Activities Committee in his evidence against the Ku Klux Klan. He is the author of the books: Palmetto Country, Southern Exposure, The Jim Crow Guide, The Klan Unmasked, and After Appomattox. Kennedy is also known as a pioneering folklorist, a labor activist, and environmentalist. Instead of sermonizing about the issue, Kennedy takes a very daring and practical approach and enthralls the readers with Klan-busting adventures. The Klan Unmasked is an eye-opener into the devilish machinations of the KKK. In the early 1920's, the organization had a membership of close to 5 million. A number of expose`s were printed on the activities of the Ku Klux Klan against Blacks, Catholics, Jews and other minorities.
