James H. Bickley

James H. Bickley was Grand Dragon for the state of South Carolina affiliated with the 1950s U.S. Klans, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Bickley by profession was a carpenter from Marion, South Carolina. Shortly after becoming Grand Dragon he increased the number of Klan chapters in the state form twenty to thirty-five.

"I ain't got nothing against niggers," Bickley once said. "I don't believe most of them would be causing any trouble if it wasn't for the NAACP and the Jews. I understand there are a lot of Communists...trying to get us to integrate with the niggers so we'll breed down the race."
