Just when you think we’re getting somewhere, you realize we have a long way to go. Racism is a fact of life in this country, and the Ku Klux Klan is, sadly, very much alive and well. It could be said they’re even more fired up with the election of Barack Obama as president.

We interviewed photojournalist Anthony Karen last June about the unparallelled access he’s had to the KKK, photographing their secret ceremonies and rituals in several states in the deep South. The UK’s Independent recently did this article on the KKK and Karen’s work, and it’s worth a read.
