Brookfield, CT: Milbrook Press (1993), pg. 34. | "Meanwhile, in other parts of the country the Klan was still at large. In 1981 [March 21] the Klan murdered a nineteen-year-old African-American student from Mobile, Alabama, named Michael Donald... as Donald was heading home from his sister's house... The Klan members who killed Michael Donald were eventually tried and convicted of murder. The Klan itself was dealt a further serious blow through a civil suit filed by the victim's mother, Beulah Mae Donald, with the help of the Southern Poverty Law Center. After four hours of deliberating, an all-white jury awarded Ms. Donald a $7-million settlement against the United Klans of America (UKA) and six of its members. The verdict set a precedent for victims of white-supremacist violence by holding the Klan financially liable for the criminal acts of its members. As partial payment of the award, the victim's mother received the deed to the UKA's national headquarters near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, the organization's only substantial asset. " |
