Reel Description

This reel contains footage of individuals wearing Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods in an unidentified location on June 11, 1966. The original 16mm film reel has damage which translated to the digitized copy presented here. The damage includes a camera registration issue, as well as frames not being properly aligned to perforations, which leads to "jumps" in footage or multiple frames being seen at once, as well as a soft focus throughout.
