Eldon Edwards

Eldon Edwards

Eldon Edwards (1909 - 1960) was a U.S. Ku Klux Klan leader.

Edwards was an auto worker from Georgia who became a Klan leader in 1950. In his book "The Informant: The FBI, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Murder of Viola Liuzzo", Gary May notes that Edwards became prominent at a time when the Klan was splintered into different local groups. Edwards created his own organisation - "U.S. Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan" - and established a 15,000 strong following in 8 US states.

Edwards was interviewed by Mike Wallace on May 5, 1957, as noted in Wallace's 2006 book "Between You and Me". [http://www.mvtimes.com/calendar/2006/04/20/in_print_mike_wallace.php Review of "Between You and Me" by Wallace, Mike, 2006 at www.mvtimes.com] ]
