A series of scandals ruined the KKK's reputation and the group faded away after 1925, except for some remote areas like West Virginia.  [[Robert Byrd]], later a Senator, was an organizer in West Virginia in the 1940s, and had apologized repeatedly for it in his later years. In 1937 President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] appointed Alabama Senator [[Hugo Black]] to the Supreme Court. Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and built his career campaigning at Klan meetings.  In ''Korematsu v. the United States'',  Black voted to uphold [[President Roosevelt]]'s mass arrests and incarceration of [[Japanese]] men, women, and children based on [[race]].
