State officials in Mississippi uncovered full Ku Klux Klan regalia and a KKK pamphlet critical of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., while clearing out a closet at their office. Workers at the Mississippi Department of Public Safety made the discovery as part of their preparations to move to a new building.
Some of the materials dated as far back as the 1960s and included recruitment materials, meeting notes and ledgers, according to a Mississippi Department of Archives and History press release.
Also among the tranche of KKK materials was a propaganda pamphlet entitled The Ugly Truth about Martin Luther King, which was published by the United Klans of America, the press release revealed.
In addition, the trove of documents related to the group contained a handbook published by the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The documents and the regalia were contained in a small blue suitcase and have since been handed over to the MDAH.
