They call themselves the Ku Klux Klan and they hate pretty much everyone who isn't like them. If you have the wrong color, religion, or birthplace, they don't like you. Around here it's mostly foreigners they hate.

Finding your way doesn't mean you always know where you're going. It's knowing how to find your way back home that's important.

I'd heard of really bad things Klan folks did to Negroes. Mean, hateful, deadly things. I didn't know they were hateful toward white folks too.

Memories were like sunshine. They warmed you up and left a pleasant glow, but you couldn't hold them.
