On the third floor of a quiet history museum in Pensacola, Florida, stands a relic from the past that may disturb visitors: a figure dressed in a Ku Klux Klan uniform – a white, visibly worn robe with a tall, pointed cap and a hood that drapes around the face. Also on display at the Pensacola Museum of History at the University of West Florida (UWF) are patches that adorned Klan members' uniforms and a copy of a Klan handbook known as the Kloran. Behind the figure is a cross, nearly destroyed by fire – a relic of the Klan's infamous calling card.
