Nobody said they weren’t “still around”. They were just largely irrelevant like they are today.

They were irrelevant unless you happened to have been black and stopped at the red light where they were collecting money then I suspect you might remember them a bit differently. They weren't irrelevant in Forsyth country when 400 of them attacked 80 people marching to the court house in Cumming, Georgia. The courts did not find them irrelevant, that little dust up cost them millions of dollars. They of course never paid but some of them lost everything as individuals and rightfully so. One of the ringleaders of that gang was my Mother's stepbrother. He spent nearly a year in prison for it and it cost him everything he had and it was justified.
