(UKA)''', based in Alabama, was one of the largest [[Ku Klux Klan]] organizations in the United States. Led by Imperial Wizard [[Robert Shelton]], the UKA peaked in membership in the late 1960s and 1970s, and it was the most violent Klan organization of its time. Its headquarters was the Anglo-Saxon Club outside Tuscaloosa, Alabama. | ||
The organization was linked to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed four young girls; the [[murder]] of Viola Liuzzo near Selma in 1965, and the [[lynching]] of teenager Michael Donald in Mobile in 1981. Because of murder charges and convictions, some of the UKA's most well-known members included Thomas E. Blanton, Jr., Bobby Frank Cherry, Herman Cash, Robert Chambliss, Bennie Hays, Henry Hays, and James Knowles. Robert Shelton died at the age of 73 in 2003 in Tuscaloosa from a heart attack. | The organization was linked to the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed four young girls; the [[murder]] of Viola Liuzzo near Selma in 1965, and the [[lynching]] of teenager Michael Donald in Mobile in 1981.
