Anthony Karen: Ku-Klux-Klan-Modenschau

Da bekomme ich echt eine Gänsehaut: US-Fotojournalistin Anthony Karen hat mehrere Jahre damit verbracht Ku-Klux-Klan-Mitglieder zu fotografieren – und unter anderem hat sie dabei die Arbeit einer KKK-Schneiderin dokumentiert. “Coming from five generations of Ku Klux Klan members, 58-year-old ‘Ms. Ruth’ sews hoods and robes for Klan members seven days a week, blessing each one when it’s done. A red satin outfit for an Exalted Cyclops, the head of a local chapter, costs about $140. She uses the earnings to help care for her 40-year-old quadriplegic daughter, ‘Lilbit,’ who was injured in a car accident 10 years ago.” Via/Via
