LOL! For many years, my relatives in PA refused to come down to Alabama to visit. They were afraid the KKK would get them (they're white). Plus, they truly didn't think there were any cities here. Just farms and forests.

I remember my first encounter with some KKK types. I must have been about 12. Me and a friend of mine were in downtown Petersburg passing out some literature. They were some scary looking guys. Of course, having the big mouths that we had, we made fun of them.

I reckon they had movie theaters WAY back and a right good ways out in the sticks too. One of the most delightful stories I ever heard in my family was from my grandpa about a year before he died. My grandma had passed away a couple of years earlier and he was remembering her fondly as he showed me a photo of her when she was very young. He told me the story of how they got engaged. He said that one night he realized that she was the woman he wanted to marry and seeing's how she was the prettiest girl in the hills that he'd better hurry up before somebody else beat him to it. He got on his mule and rode all the way to town to the movie theater where he proposed to her right out front. Obviously she said "yes."
