Thomas Hamilton and other Klan leaders deliver a Christmas package to one of Augusta’s African American citizens. (Robert J. Wilkinson Collection, Augusta Museum of History) “The klan, he said, obtained a large list of needy from the welfare department and then distributed the food baskets and money after a committee had determined what were considered the most worthy cases. The klan spokesman said the ‘ladies organization’ of the Augusta Klavern also has given food baskets valued at more than $150 in addition to those given by the men. The baskets, he added, were given ‘indiscriminately’ and went to both white and Negro families. The audacity.
