Actually I thought the Souther Poverty Law Center essentially sued the main Ku Klux Klan organization out of existence in the late 80s after linking them to a killing, perhaps the one you mentioned. The relatives of the victims in that case actually ended up owning the property where the Klan headquarters stood. Now there are just decentralized state organizations, which I have always believed were merely a front for organized crime activities like drug dealing and car theft.

By the time Morris Dees came on the scene, the greater part of the Ku Klux Klan had been out of business for several decades. In fact, almost no one even knew anyone who had ever belonged to the Klan.

They used to have millions of members. They controlled by the Democratic and the Republican parties in Indiana among other things.
