Johnny Lee Clary learned to hate at a very young age.  As an impressionable child, he lived in a family filled with racism, hatred and bigotry.  After the suicide death of his father and abandonment by his mother, he found himself alone and looking for a place to belong.  At the age of 14 he was seduced by the teachings of David Duke and the Ku Klux Klan and joined the organization.  This impressionable young man became so enthralled with the feeling of belonging, of fitting in that he readily participated in KKK events in a security capacity.  His exuberance and dedication eventually led to him being appointed as Duke’s personal bodyguard.   

                     

Johnny continued to advance in the organization and revel in the feeling of belonging until he was ultimately elected Imperial Wizard of the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. The White Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan, originating in Mississippi, was the most dreaded Klan of all time and has gone down in history as the most militant and most violent.  The White Knights are responsible for bombings, murders, and countless other crimes against human beings in the name of hate. Even today, The White Knights are considered the real Ku Klux Klan.

The destructive mindset and lifestyle he had lived for so many years started to take its toll. Riddled with torment and anger over a false arrest in Tennessee for a weapons violation, disgusted by internal fighting between the various white supremacist organizations, and the discovery that his girlfriend was an informant for the F.B.I led Johnny Lee to resign from the Klan.

But life did not repair itself so easily.  Over the next few years he found himself dealing with being told a child was his and then being told she was not, going through two divorces, no friends, and struggling to make a living.  This combined with his obsessive guilt over the life of prejudice and hatred he had lived led Johnny Lee to alcohol for comfort.  He was on the edge of committing suicide one night when he finally woke up and let God deliver him out of this hellish nightmare.  He would use his life, his experiences, and his near moment of final destruction to help others see what it could do to them if they followed the same road he chose early in life.

Today, Johnny Lee lives a life committed to Jesus Christ and helping others see that we are all equal in the long run.  Yes, there are differences…there always will be.  We each have our strengths and weaknesses.  It is a mixing of those strengths and weaknesses, the process of complimenting each other, which makes us equal.
