FORMER KKK LEADER WRITES BOOK
REVEALING CENTURIES OLD SECRETS
(Lakeland, FL) An ancient curse hangs over America. The United States needs deliverance from this curse. In fact, it may be hanging over you and your family. Dr. Richard C. Harris fell under its power at a young age, growing up in Kokomo, Indiana. The curse was one element that caused him to join the infamous Ku Klux Klan. In these pages, you will learn how he rose quickly to leadership positions until he was the Grand Dragon of the KKK in Indiana, running the largest underground terrorist organization in the Midwest in the mid- to late-1970s. Eventually, Richard broke free of his terrorism and ended the curse over himself and his family. Thirty years later, he shares his story in his new book, One Nation Under CURSE.
Richard C. Harris, Ed.D. is an accomplished speaker in the areas of leadership, education, diversity, and race relations. A popular speaker on college campuses, church and corporate settings, Dr. Harris captivates his audiences with stories they'll never hear anywhere else and challenges them with lessons he's learned on his journey from racism, bigotry, and prejudice to acceptance, love, and tolerance. He is a university professor, pastor, and civil rights/social justice activist. He has adopted the motto, "If it is not justice for all, it is not justice at all." d.D.
You will discover:
New secrets about the founding of America
The inner workings of the highest ranks of the Ku Klux Klan
The details of a curse which continues to hang over America and how to break it in your life and the lives of your children.
