3:12Now PlayingCharles Blow closes out this special edition of "Prime," talking about how the Black press approached covering the Ku Klux Klan.
“"A number of Black publications at the time argued that the most effective means to stifle the Klan's growth was to cut off its coverage in the media, the concept of ‘dignified silence,’” Blow says.
"At the core of each strategy was the desire by Black publications not simply to cover or not cover the Klan, but to understand how publicity was playing a role in its growth, and from where that publicity was rooted," he continues.
All this and more on “Prime.”
