Mississippi Department of Public Safety officials stumbled across a cache of Ku Klux Klan materials while cleaning out a closet to move to the department’s new headquarters.

Inside a small blue suitcase, they found a handbook for the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the most violent white supremacist group in the 1960s, which carried out at least 10 killings. Officials also found Klan charters, a Klan robe, KKK recruitment materials, propaganda, meeting notes, ledgers and a list of members who paid — or didn’t pay — their dues.

“If only that robe could talk,” said George Malvaney, who tells his journey from life as a Klansman to life in prison to life as environmental regulator and a top executive helping clean up the 2010 oil spill on the Coast, in his memoir, “Cups Up.”

The department has given the Klan materials to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
