Whitecaps

"I heard them speak of the Ku Klux often. But they didn't call them Ku

Klux; they called them whitecaps. The whitecaps used to go around at

night and get hold of colored people that had been living disorderly

and carry them out and whip them. I never heard them say that they

whipped anybody for voting. If they did, it wasn't done in our

neighborhood."
