Aside from murder and mayhem, the Ku Klux Klan didn't contribute to the Civil Rights Movement, in fact, they attempted to stop it.

The message was to show the cruelty that the AA went through despite the civil rights movement. Although the civil rights movement fought against segregation and for AA rights, it only did so legislatively, but that did not mean that it had an immediate effect in society, simply because the laws had changed. This became apparent in the many "political meetings" that they had involving the KKK, which was greatly supported in the south, in Mississippi.
