"At the Civil Rights museum, history director Ryan Jones one-upped me. “I found out I’m related to Nathan Bedford Forest” — the founder of the Ku Klux Klan, said Jones, who is Black."

Yeah, that's kinda like a Jew finding Hitler hiding in the branches of their family tree. Nathan Bedford Forest was a notorious slave-trader before the Civil War, and as a Confederate general, probably should have been tried for war crimes for the merciless slaughter of Union Colored Troops after they tried to surrender!
Remember Fort Pillow!
Thanks for the article!
