According to the Birmingham News, which spoke with Robert Jones, the grand dragon of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK, 4,000 fliers were distributed to homes in Selma and Montgomery, the beginning and intended end points for the fateful 1965 march. “We pretty much put out fliers, some against King and some against immigration,” Jones told the newspaper. “It’s time for the American people to wake up to these falsehoods that they preach about MLK.”
On Sunday, thousands gathered in Selma to walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, just as hundreds attempted to do 50 years ago.
