    Rosa Parks's grandfather kept a shotgun at hand to defend against the Klan. She recalled, "I stayed awake many nights, keeping vigil with Grandpa. I wanted to see him kill a Ku Kluxer. He declared the first to invade our home would surely die."https://www.loc.gov/resource/mss85943.001811/?sp=27 …

        The real questions are: 1. where did the trope of pre-1954 scared Negroes come from? 2. how was that trope used with good intentions and bad ones to shape the nonviolent coalition atop the King Years CRM? 3. Does the shadow of that misconception limit resistance to racism today?
