In the 1940s, reporter
Stetson Kennedy infiltrated the
Klu Klux Klan, gathering information on everything from their membership to their secret code words . Kennedy then gave this information to the producers of the Superman radio show. The resulting episodes, titled “Clan of the Fiery Cross” (listen to them
here)incorporated actual Klan terminology and rituals, exposing the nation to the inner workings of this “secret” organization. [from MetaFilter.com]
