We all like to think of the Klan as a historical dinosaur that only exists in history books, but Kirk Wallace Johnson is here to tell you that the Klan is alive, well, and very active in Texas. I'm still sitting here, thinking about the fact that Pasadena, a suburb of Houston, was a sundown town until the 1980s. That the Boy Scouts that were trained by the Klan are now men in their 50s walking among us. That the majority of the vile, racist, xenophobic people written about in this book are alive and still living among us. That the whole idea that the Klan infiltrated law enforcement and the armed forces is not something new that exploded on January 6, 2021. White supremacists have always been among us and they have never gone away.
