Stage 3 burning cross picture
Members of the Ku Klux Klan, wearing traditional white hoods and robes, stand back and watch with their arms crossed after burning a 15-foot cross at Tampa, Fla., Jan. 30, 1939. (AP Photo)

I chose this image to represent the violence and terror that the KKK used to control black people throughout the South, throughout the 19th and 20th century. The burning cross is one of the most iconic images associated with the Klan, and I was surprised to discover that it originated from the film Birth of a Nation (1921). KKK members thought the cross represented their Protestant Christian values (as they were anti-Catholicism as well), and was reminiscent of the Scottish tradition of burning a Celtic cross as a call to war.
The photo also shows the other iconic image of the KKK- the white hoods. This also served to strike fear and protect its members through making it difficult to know who was a member and who was not.
