I first was guessing it was a statue of Robert Byrd, democrat-WV) but he was only a Grand Kleagel.

In the Democrat’s autopsy on the 2014 whacking, Debbie and other leaders of the Democrats said that they should go back to William Jennings Bryan, their candidate from the South and ardent defender of the KKK in the 1920s at a time when the KKK was the OFA of the 1920s. Bryan was a non-ideological and illogical populist who would fit in well with the opportunist wing of the modern Democrat Party.

It was at Fort Pillow. The story is untrue. Survivors - Black and White- credited Forrest with trying to STOP the killing. Forrest did not found the KKK. He made a speech after the war in which he acknowledged the evils of slavery and asked that all citizens of Mississippi work together. The speech was to a black audience. It was well received. The domestic slave trade was an abomination. It was also legal in many states and remained legal in the “border states” until the 13th amendment was ratified. Many people trafficked in slaves.

The one thing missing from that billboard is mentioning that the KKK was organized by the Democratic Party.

I've had to travel through Selma multiple times for business over the last several years. It is an outhouse. A run-down, dilapidated cesspool.
