The Mississippi Department of Public Safety has some explaining to do.
State workers cleaning out a storage closet at Mississippi’s Department of Public Safety stumbled onto a relic of the state’s violent past: a small blue suitcase stuffed with Ku Klux Klan materials from the 1960s.
The Mississippi Today reports that inside were a Klan robe, a handbook for the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, recruitment flyers, propaganda, meeting notes, ledgers, and even lists tracking which members paid their dues. One pamphlet, titled “The Ugly Truth about Martin Luther King,” attacked the civil rights leader with racist misinformation that was once circulated across the South.
Officials say the suitcase surfaced only because the agency is preparing to move into a new headquarters, forcing staff to empty long-ignored corners of its current building. Public Safety Commissioner Sean Tindell said that preserving the artifacts is part of ensuring that future generations are not drawn to similar hate.
