Who The KKK's Really Are By Smitty Smith I’m going to tell you what I had to go through. I lived during the time of the KKK or Ku Klux Klan. The KKK had a target, the African Americans. Not only did they go after the African Americas, but went after the schools, because they wanted to keep the schools segregated. Then they would go after the teachers but they went to their homes and not the school. They threaten the teachers with whips and guns to their face, to tell them to stop teaching and if they didn’t they would burn down the schools. When I read the book, To Kill A Mockingbird or TKAM, I found out that there where lots of differences but also some similarities. The differences are Atticus said that the KKK mob was in town and went away. Another charter is an African American named Tom, was wanted by the KKK. They where after Tom because he was wanted for the rape he did. The KKK didn’t harm anyone like teachers but did threaten Atticus at he’s home. Another person they went after is the Catholics. Now for the similarities. They both mention going after the African Americans to kill them. Also the mob went after people to harm and threat. (Lee 144-155)
