Do you still have contact with people inside of the Klan or who are white supremacists generally? Were you ever concerned for your safety when you decided to leave?

What role, if any, did women play in the Klan while you were a member? Did you have Klanswomen as a formal part of your organization, or was there a separate group for Klanswomen like there was in the 1920s?

That's really interesting. So what was the men's view of the women's group and did the two groups differ greatly in terms of tone or activities? I apologize if this seems prying, but I studied the 20s Klan pretty in depth, specifically the gender relations that existed in the Klan.

That's not surprising to me actually. The Klan of the 20th century had a number of notable female members and women's groups. Some women's groups in the 20s participated in the same violence as the men's groups.
