The Headless Klansman of Selma (2018)

Plot

The Headless Klansman of Selma

Edit

Summaries

  • A bronze bust honoring the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan is stolen from Confederate Circle in Selma, Alabama, igniting a 3-year battle over the legality, the meaning, and the purpose of the monument.
  • Not all Confederate monuments are old. A monument to Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Confederate general and the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, was erected in Selma, Alabama on Oct. 7, 2000. Opponents of the monument say this was a spiteful reaction to the election of Selma's first African American mayor, who was sworn in on Oct. 2, 2000. Defenders say this was a coincidence. 12 years later, the bronze bust atop the statue was stolen, sparking an age-old culture war between 'white Selma' and 'black Selma,' and between two, dueling versions of history, both tied to present-day arguments about politics, culture, and policy.—Eric Byler
