The group gained its height of popularity in the 1950s and 1960s. People marched on the streets wearing white hooded attire to present their racist ideology. Members of the KKK could have been any white American, particularly Americans who were pro-segregation and for Jim crow laws. These Americans feared that they were losing their powerful position in society to people they saw as "inferior."  And thought people of colour would take away their place in an all-white American society. The KKK's membership is in decline but still exists in the present day among 15 states with around 150,000 members in the USA.]]> 2020-11-15 21:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/6076551/1fpu0klmtuh9lnke/wish/925205010 6076551 https://padlet.com/6076551/1fpu0klmtuh9lnke/wish/928765772 The black power movement served as self-sufficient protection for black Americans.
