Why were the KKK labeled as a terrorist group?
The original KKK was created specifically to terrorize blacks in the southern states, attacking those who dared get try to be "uppity" or "rise above their place." Later, when the KKK was revived in the 20th century, it added Jews and Catholics to its list of targets. The goal was to intimidate all of these unwelcome people, driving them from areas where the KKK was strong. In the southern states, the emphasis was always on terrorizing blacks, but in the north, the KKK gained strength in significant part because of anti-immigrant sentement. Many lynchings were attributed to KKK activity, as well as arson and bombings, frequently targeting black churches.

Unfortunately not many are found, because most people are caught under the mistake of thinking that the terrorists of KKK are ancient. If you want to try to make your own anti-KKK group, please feel free (at least in the USA) to protest, because it's totally legal. Let's face it, you wouldn't be reporting ordinary/innocent people, KKK is nothing but a bunch of worthless, racist, Christian terrorists that conspire out of unreasonable hatred over blacks, pagans, and communists as a whole.
What kind of pranks were played on African Americans from KKK?
I'd hardly classify what the KKK did as mere "pranks". Their actions would be better termed intimidation, harassment, assault, and/or terrorism. One of the claimed reasons for the famous white hoods and robes was to make them resemble ghosts and "spooks" to try to "prank" supposedly gullible and superstitious free blacks - but the reality is that they were mainly used to disguise their identities while carrying out violence and threats such as planting burning crosses in the yards of blacks to intimidate them with implied future violence.
