Excellent!

On a related note, the Congressional resolution leading to the proclamation of Mother’s Day was sponsored in Congress and initiated in the House by Klu Klux Klansman J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama, to (in his own words) protect against the “vile despoilers of our precious white women”. At one time the Congressman had shot and wounded a black man for “insulting” a white woman on a streetcar.
