Robert Byrd joined the Klan at the ripe young age of 24 — hardly a young’un by today’s standards, much less those of 1944, when Byrd refused to join the military because he might have to serve alongside “race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds,” according to a letter Byrd wrote to Sen. Theodore Bilbo at the height of World War II.

Senate’s senior Democrat was no stranger to controversy and was once a member of the Ku Klux Klan,” as if calling for the extermination of dark-skinned peoples (as well as Jews, Catholics, and gays. Byrd not only joined the KKK, but also led his local chapter.

He later vocally renounced his actions. However he still joined Southern Democrats in an unsuccessful filibuster against the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Bill.
Byrd in 2001 used of the term “white nigger,” an early 20th-century anachronism that Byrd employed not once, but twice. Byrd wasn't a Grand Wizard. But he bore other titles in his roles as Klan organizer and advocate, including "Kleagle" (recruiter) and "Exalted Cyclops," the top officer in the local Klan unit.
