Additional Details

W. Eugene Smith's series on the Ku Klux Klan was a small but intense project for him. The majority of images of the Klan were taken on a single night in 1951 with other images, like this one, added later to illustrate the fear and courage that surfaces in the shadow of such an organization. See <
