    At the turn of the 20th century, the United States saw significant changes due to immigration and urbanization. The Ku Klux Klan's membership grew as they exploited fears around new immigrants and advocated for white supremacy. Through violent intimidation campaigns, the KKK targeted immigrants and racial minorities. However, the civil rights movement of the 1960s challenged racial segregation, and the Klan reacted with violence against protesters. Growing public opposition and successful FBI prosecution of Klan crimes caused membership to dwindle. By the 1970s the Klan was considered largely defeated, though the reporter notes they have historically adapted to persist over the long term.
