“In several interviews, Byrd acknowledged that he had briefly 'briefly' been a member of the KKK, and blamed it on 'youthful indiscretion'. In fact, his involvement with the KKK was far more extensive than he ever admitted. In the early 1940s, Byrd recruited 150 of his friends and associates to form a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in Crab Orchard, West Virginia.”
