What did President Grant say in his Message to Congress urging passage of the Ku-Klux Acts?
"They have conspired to deny Negro citizens the right to own and bear arms."

Not strictly Law and Civil Rights related but more closely here.

According to a Press Release from the Second Amendment Foundation, Otis McDonald has passed away on 4/4. For those in the area, the release also has funeral details. For those interested, it also has a brief recap of his life and his legacy.
