The "KKK" (Ku Klux Klan) was founded around the end of the Civil War, but rebounded as a right-wing "Christian" white supremacy group from the 1920's to the 1960's. Many members of the Klan are staunchly anti-communist and anti-Semitic as well as anti-black.
The secret factions of the group conducted many killings, including hanging, to intimidate the growing populations of blacks in the rural South and elsewhere. Their activities resulted in criminal and civil penalties against the groups and their members.
The total number of active members is comparatively small (5000 to 7000 in various organizations), but with a larger number of sympathizers in the South and Midwest.

Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were almost complete opposites.When he was a child, Malcolm X's mother and father fought and beat each other and their children, and Malcolm X ended up in a foster home after his house was burned down by the 'Klu Klux Klan', resulting in the death of his father and his mother's mental breakdown. This affected Malcolm X's approach to segregation and he was very violent.Martin Luther King grew up in a very comfortable middle-class home with a loving family, and Martin Luther King was peaceful but persistent. He led many protests including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and sit-in campaigns against cafe segregation. He helped to desegregate schools. He also preached equality.

Why did James Earl Ray Martin killed Luther King Jr?
James Earl Ray disagreed with what Martin was trying to do. James E. Ray was a racist, he hated black people, and he thought he could get paid a lot of money from white extremists for killing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He also thought he would be seen as a hero because he shot "The" one who was making all the trouble about Civil Rights. He expected the Klan to see him a hero, thus the reason for his quick confession. He received no money, he only got life imprisonment without parole and died in jail from natural causes. He died at Brushy MTN State Prison in Upper-East Tennessee.
