Lawsuit seeks to bankrupt the Ku Klux Klan

Two Klan members allegedly attacked an American because he had brown skin. A lawsuit brought by the victim and funded by the Southern Poverty Law Center is suing the Klan for inciting the violence.

Context of the story:

Several IKA members flank Edwards in this photo at the IKA compound in Dawson Springs, Ky. Chris Kenning © The Courier-JournalWhy is this important? Racism and race-related violence is still a problem in America. Non-violent resolution to problems is an important way to end this racism. A lawsuit, especially a successful lawsuit, is a non-violent way to fight against racism and violence.

Who is involved? The Southern Poverty Law Center is a civil rights organization that uses law to fight racism and intolerance. Jordan Gruver is the victim. The defendants are “Imperial Wizard” Ron Edwards (pictured) and “Grand Titan” Jarred R. Hensley.

Where is this happening? Meade County, Kentucky.

How can you get involved? Study law. Use non-violent conflict resolution. Speak out against racism and bigotry. Join organizations that fight against racism and intolerance.
