On June 6, 1965, a Ku Klux Klan parade attracted 500 marchers through downtown Atlanta, according to an Associated Press dispatch in the San Francisco News Call Bulletin. The number swelled to 1,000 once the parade terminated in Hurt Park -- how apt. Or maybe not. The AP said no incidents were reported. Bear in mind this was almost two years after Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington.
