The Klu Klux Klan (KKK)

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) is a white supremacist organization that originated in the United States in the late 1860s. It promotes racist, antisemitic, and xenophobic beliefs, often using violence and intimidation against minority groups, including Black people, Jews, immigrants, and others who oppose their ideology. The KKK has gone through several periods of activity, fluctuating in membership, but its actions have consistently aimed to uphold racial segregation and white dominance. It is widely condemned for its hate crimes and efforts to undermine civil rights.
