Stetson Kennedy and Superman take down the Klan

Stetson Kennedy and Superman take down the Klan
«After World War II, Kennedy and another informant infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan and related white supremacist groups, exposing their secrets, helping Georgia authorities revoke the Klan's corporate charter, and testifying against a fascist Klan offshoot known as the Columbians. Kennedy made public such information as secret code words and details of Klan rituals, including a stint where he supplied Klan secrets to the writers of the Superman radio program, culminating in a series of four episodes in which Superman battled the KKK.»

This appeared on MLK Day to honor someone who risked his own neck to take down the KKK. The Anti-Defamation League, as well as other fellow infiltrators, also played significant roles.
