Certainly not because the ACLU agrees with the philosophy of these extremist groups. The fact is, however, that within our system of government, our Bill of Rights and our laws should apply equally to all those living in our society. The ACLU works to defend the Bill of Rights — even if that means defending an organization or individual whose actions, attitudes or beliefs we despise. We believe the best antidote to those who espouse hate is to guarantee everyone's freedom of speech. See similar questions...

Most of the Ku Klux Klan material was purchased at a public auction in Fremont, Michigan, in 1994. We deliberately deemphasize the Klan portion of our collection because the room focuses on everyday racist items. The KKK did not make the racist fishing lures, ashtrays, toys, postcards, detergent, pencils and other items found in the room. We believe that a Jim Crow culture serves as fertile ground for the KKK and similar organizations; however, racism is bigger than the Klan. No, it does not. See similar questions...
