Henry Mcneal Turner and KKK

Born February 1, 1834 died May 8, 1915. Henry was a Minister, and the first southern bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He organized new congregations of the independent black denomination after the American Civil War. The KKK which stands for the Ku Klux Klan is an organization devoted to the pure hatered and terrorism of blacks. It is estimated to have between 5,000 and 8,000 members as of 2012. The first sight of the KKK was in the early 1860s and died down in 1870. They wore white robes and white cone shaped masks to scare people and keep thier identites hidden. The KKK is still around today but in a smaller version on the past ones.
