Justice Hugo Black joined the Klan early in his political career as a Senator because he believed it would help him attain office. He was never particularly active in the racist organization and later resigned his membership. Surprisingly, Justice Black was one of the strongest civil rights supporters on the bench.

Why did the KKK name a highway after Rosa Parks?
Actually, the KKK didn't name the highway after Rosa Parks. The state of Missouri did. They did this because one of the participants in the KKK wanted to participate in the 'adopt a highway' thing, but Missouri said no, and the KKK took it to court and the court said it was unconstitutional not to give the highway to the KKK. BUTT, the state of Missouri found a loophole so that THEY could name the highway. So, in short, the state of Missouri named the highway, not the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). -Unipegutato
