In 2014, Poet Kimberly Shaw once wrote, "Dad sold the hogs, and cut the hay. The farm was lost, we drove away. The next two years were grim and lean. Dad broke his back, to feed us beans. When winter came our food ran out. We found old Dad hung by a rope".
The Ku Klux Klan
- Segregate and discriminate other people for not agreeing with their terms or beliefs.
- Added foreigners, Jews, Catholics, and organized labor to their lists of enemies.
- Organizations that exist today believe in inequality and separate interests of races.
- "Klan groups still use methods of hatred and violence, and some are tied closely to the U.S. Nazi movement"
Kimberly Shaw had ended her poem with, “'Twas many years before I left/ My Mom had died a tragic death. Now all alone, I lived and slept. I begged for food, and sometimes wept. A life of days and endless woe/ Now time is dead, and death too slow. As you walk by those 'homeless freaks'/ Remember me, with dimpled cheeks."
