The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan was a modern Klan organization founded by David Duke in 1974. Based in Louisiana, Duke presented the new Klan as a professional white peoples organization emphasizing nonviolence and total legality. Women and Catholics were welcomed to join the organization as full members.

Duke continued as Klan leader until 1979 when he stepped down to form the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP) Duke’s main lieutenant Don Black assumed leadership of the Klan organization. Black was convicted of violating the Neutrality Act and was sent to prison. While in prison Stanley McCollum took over the organization and controlled the group for eight years. Eventually the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan ended under McCollum’s leadership.
