I love old colourized photos, they feel so powerful.

I was born and raised in Marshall, TX, still live in the local area. I have seen many pictures of this man. The quote below is him talking about the Klu Klux Klan. It's so hard to think that stuff like this actually happened and most were worse, not that long ago. It saddens me!

Willis Winn, Marshall, TX - “I’s been catched by them Ku Kluxers. They didn’t hurt me, but have lots of fun making me cut capers. They pulls my clothes off once and make me run about four hunerd yards and stand on my head in the middle the road.”
