In 1965 the U.S. House of Representatives held Hearings on the Activities of the K.K.K. organizations in the United States. These Hearings revealed that in 1960, the Reverend Roy Davis of Texas tried to organize the old Original Knights of the KKK, at which time he held the authority to appoint the Imperial Dragon of this organization, and designate who would receive the royalties from the sale of robes (http://archive.org/stream/activitiesofkukl03unit/activitiesofkukl03unit_djvu.txt). US Army records also show that on August 18, 1963 Roy Davis participated in a meeting of the Indignant White Citizens Council (Book: “Kennedy Assassination: Surveillance of Civil Rights Activists”, Barry Leonard, Editor). | In 1965 the U.S. House of Representatives held Hearings on the Activities of the K.K.K. organizations in the United States.

When William Branham’s ministry started reaching an international audience in the late 1940s, he was no longer concerned with mixing with either Parham or Seymour Pentecostals, or Oneness or Trinitarian Pentecostals. However, the issue of race was also important in the late 1940's when his sermons began to be recorded. At this time, there is no indication of racial tensions in William Branham's recorded sermons other than comments against Martin Luther King Jr. and a prophecy that he would lead millions to their death. | When William Branham’s ministry started reaching an international audience in the late 1940s, he was no longer concerned with mixing with either Parham or Seymour Pentecostals, or Oneness or Trinitarian Pentecostals.
