The ADL was founded to defend the memory a Leo Frank, a guy who murdered a 13 year old girl named Mary Phagan who worked for him. He tried to blame it on a black guy who also worked for him, then called in the KKK to try and get the black guy lynched. Leo's story was so flimsy the KKK sided with the black guy.
His legal team/law firm was also in cahoots with the mayor who freed him from jail before his subsequent hanging by the local public.
Not even the goofball Klan guys who would go on Jerry Springer three decades ago either, but the actual hardcore Klan from when there were still Civil War veterans alive.
