I read about Senator Byrd in Barack Obama's book called "The Audacity of Hope".
It turns out that when Senator Byrd was young he was involved in some white supremacy groups.
In his early political years Byrd was a member of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan in the early 1940s.
But I'm not Ku Klux Klan. I don't like the idea of slavery and I want to point out that Canada never had slaves, even when USA did have slaves.
