   Nancy A. Collins recalls:

   In the early 1960s my father was both the deputy sheriff and the fire chief of a tiny rural town in Arkansas.
   The first day he was in his equally tiny office above the general store, the Kleagle from the local Klan came in and told him "You get any Black boys or Freedom Riders in here, you call us first."
   My father's response was "I don't take orders from Whyte Trash."

     When I got home I was in hysterics. Once my mother calmed me down and got the story out of me she called her father--the VP of the local bank.And he pulled every loan of every Klansman he knew of in the county. They left my family alone after that
     This is what I see when I look at MAGA.

     The next night the Klan was on our yard, trying to burn a cross. Until my daddy and his brother--who saw D-Day, Market Garden, Bastogne & Dauchau-- walked out with long guns.
     A couple days later I was walking home from 1st grade when Klan goons in a pick up started pacing me, calling me and my daddy every kind of name.
