The inside story of how a courageous FBI informant helped to bring down the KKK organization responsible for a brutal civil rights–era killing.By early 1966, the work of Vernon Dahmer was well known in south Mississippi. A light-skinned Black man, he was a farmer, grocery store owner, and two-time president of the Forrest County chapter of the NAACP. He and Medgar Evers founded a youth NAACP chapter in Hattiesburg, and for years after Evers’s assassination Dahmer was the chief advocate for voting rights in a county where Black registration was shamelessly suppressed. This put Dahmer in the crosshairs of the White Knights, with headquarters in nearby Laurel. Already known as one of the most violent sects of the KKK in the South, the group carried out his murder in a raid that burned down his home and store.A year before, Tom Landrum, a young, unassuming member of a family with deep Mississippi roots, joined the Klan to become an FBI informant. He penetrated the White Knights’ secret circles, recording almost daily journal entries. He risked his life, and the safety of his young family, to chronicle extensively the clandestine activities of the Klan. Veteran journalist Curtis Wilkie draws on his exclusive access to Landrum’s journals to re-create these events—the conversations, the incendiary nighttime meetings, the plans leading up to Dahmer’s murder and its erratic execution—culminating in the conviction and imprisonment of many of those responsible for Dahmer’s death.In riveting detail, When Evil Lived in Laurel plumbs the nature and harrowing consequences of institutional racism, and brings fresh light to this chapter in the history of civil rights in the South—one with urgent implications for today.

This story involves bigotry and discrimination during the 1960s and we would be very naive to believe these years are finally in our past. Vernon Dahmer was a Black individual who involved himself in registering people to vote in Mississippi and was murdered by a group of n'er-do-wells who visualized themselves as American patriots who plotted bombings and other nefarious activities in order to preserve their southern way of life. Special hatred was dealt towards Blacks, Catholics, Jews in addition to Freedom Fighters who came down from the north to register Blacks to vote.Tom Landrum was asked by the F.B.I. to go undercover as a member of the so-called "White Knights" and report on their activities. Despite the dangers involved Landrum agreed and much of the results of the book are due to the notes that he kept during his years of undercover work. One member of the hate group was named Jaycees man-of-the- year for his community involvement and was arrested shortly thereafter. Imagine the embarrassment! Also, a woman was a 5th grade teacher by day and a terrorist by night. She was shot and killed in a fire-fight with the F.B.I. Imagine the shock to her 5th graders!Those involved in the murder of Vernon Dahmer were tried with convictions resulting in most cases and the hate group of "White Knights" were dealt a death blow. Paranoia reigned among group members as they blamed members of being involved with the F.B.I. The ultimate goal of the "White Knights" had been to have a president of the United States who shared their views. Do this sound familiar today?This sick "White Knights" hate group would begin their meetings with a prayer and their filthy language and plotting of bombings and murders aptly illustrates just how hypocritical they were in their thinking. Our country is by no means free from bigotry. We now have around 1,000 various hate groups in our country who would love to carry out their agenda. Now many of these n'er-do-wells wear suits and run for political office and with voter suppression laws being enacted their chances of being elected increase.The fight against hatred and bigotry has increased in America and this book called "When Evil Lived in Laurel" should be a wake-up call that evil still still lives in America. The book contains eight pages of photographs.
