KLANDESTINE MAN: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF STETSON KENNEDY

Last month we published an interview with Stetson Kennedy, one of the first white guys in America with the cajones to stand up to the rampant bigotry during the early and mid 20th Century. He infiltrated the Klan as a sort of independent spy, and used all of the nasty secrets he learned while in its inner circle to stick gigantic wrenches in its Aryan gears.

The forthcoming documentary, Klandestine Man: The Life and Times of Stetson Kennedy, follows Stetson's life from his 15 undercover years in the KKK to the present. The contributions Stetson has made in the fight for equality can't be summed up in one documentary, but Klandestine Man is a big step toward properly honoring one of the most neglected heroes of the last century.

We've got three clips from the film courtesy of the filmmakers, Andrea Kalin and Mark Moormann. The clips show Stetson hanging out in New York with his old pal Ramblin' Jack, visiting the Clara White Mission, and Billy Bragg totally fanning out on everything Stetson has done.
