re: The night the Klan burned a cross in our yard.

The Klan burned a cross in my grandfather's front yard for writing an editorial in the local paper telling them to frick off. He said he and his family watched it burn out near the street, and when the fire started getting out of control the KKK then called the fire department. The next day my aunt set up a lemonade stand next to it and put up a sign that read "Come see an authentic KKK cross. Lemonade 10 cents!"


There's a lot more to that story, with some great moments of comedy and drama.
