Grand Dragon Railton Loy used his property as a gathering place for white supremacist groups from across the country. Loy died, and neighbors say the property hasn’t been an issue since. Today, the Klan is decentralized, splintered, and it’s nearly impossible to estimate the size of its membership. But a KKK leader we spoke with assures ABC57, the Klan is still active, with members here in our region.

"What we really find is that customers in this condition feel a heightened sense of power," said Timothy Kundro, Assistant Professor of Management and Organization at Notre Dame and a coauthor of the study. "They feel power when they can control the amount of income an employee takes home and they also feel power when the employee really doesn’t have a choice but to smile back at them."
