What happens when a brown journalist of Indian descent meets the Ku Klux Klan?

Throughout its 150 year history the #KKK has been one of the most feared and fearsome white supremacist groups in America. Although their national influence is now minimal, #ImranGarda found a group emboldened by Trump's Presidential bid -- and determined to make their voice heard again.

He traveled to Harrison, Arkansas to meet Thomas Robb, who is the Grand Wizard and National Director of the #Knights of the KKK, a man on a mission to rebrand the Klan. Robb was seemingly at ease with speaking to a non-white journalist but determined to reeducate Garda, a South African national, on the virtues of Apartheid and racial segregation.

Garda also traveled, under an alias, into the heart of Kentucky to encounter a traditional Klan group, The Nordic Order Knights, led by the #GrandDragon. What he saw there was unprecedented for a person of colour, and opened up disturbing questions about the rise of open racism in the United States in 2016.
