This collection depicts the emergence and early activities of the most infamous American terrorist organization, the Ku Klux Klan, through a series of artistic interpretations generated by AI. Formed in 1865 by former Confederate soldiers, the KKK launched a vicious campaign of violence and intimidation targeting newly freed Black citizens and white Republicans across the post-Civil War South. The images chronicle key events like the Klan's founding, its adoption of rituals and hierarchies under Nathan Bedford Forrest, nightrider attacks on Black communities, political cartoons mocking Democratic complicity, and the 1873 ruling that enabled the restoration of white supremacist rule. Through dramatic scenes and portraits, these AI-generated artworks aim to contextualize the terroristic tactics of this racist organization and its central role in crushing hopes for racial justice and equality during Reconstruction.
