About Me

  •  Education: My education did not go very far. As a white man, people would have expected me to have completed high school and move on to college to persue my education, but I was not the typical white man. I was a highschool dropout.

  • Profession: I was a driver for a local auto parts company until I was 20 years old and then I happily joined the K.K.K. I then went on to firebombing homes of blacks from 1940-1960.

  • My Goal: My goal was to eliminate as many blacks as possible and blow up the church on Sixteenth St in Birmingham. I would say that I successfully completed my goal.

  • Organizations: I joined the KKK when I was 20 years old.

  • Famous Quote: "I'll sleep well tonight, better than I've slept in many years"

  • Interesting Fact: I was arrested on September 29th, 1963. I was not the only one arrested though. There were two other men, Charles Cagle and John Hall that were arrested as well. They were arrested and charged with possession of dynamite. Luckily for them, the charges were dropped, but I was held and eventually charged.
