Reynard Alexander

 “Persecution is not American.  It is not American to give the power of life and death to a secret organization.  It is not American to have our citizens judged by an invisible jury.  It is not American to have bands of night riders apply the punishments of medieval Europe to freeborn men. 
The Ku Klux Klan must go.”



 
Reynard Alexander was the editor for the town news paper. He did not support the Klan. He reported on all the bad things the Klan were doing in the town.  He knew this could be dangerous, because the Klan did not like having someone say negative things about them in the paper.
