About this listen

 You’ve heard of the KKK. But you probably haven’t heard of this other group.The one that wore black robes instead of white. That hid in mayor’s offices, police stations, and factory floors. That didn’t march, but hunted. They called themselves the Black Legion.And for a time, they were one of the most dangerous domestic terror groups in the country. In this episode, we uncover their strange origins, their brutal tactics, and the chilling truth behind the murders they carried out—including the suspicious death of a Black activist in Lansing… whose son would later be known as Malcolm X.
