A group of Black women from Chattanooga, who survived a Ku Klux Klan shooting in 1980, successfully pursued justice through a civil case that held the white supremacist group accountable despite inadequate criminal penalties. With the help of innovative Black lawyers, they utilized an obscure law to challenge the Klan's financial standing, ultimately achieving a legal victory that has set a powerful precedent in U.S. courts. Their efforts, documented in the film 'How to Sue the Klan,' highlight resilience and ingenuity in the fight against hate.
The civil case of five Black women sets a legal precedent across the United States in the fight against organised hate.
Using legal ingenuity, the lawyers and the group of women devised a plan to bankrupt the Klan and bring justice to the community.
