A video of the speech can be found here and a transcript can be found here here. Other prominent political leaders such as President Barack Obama and President Bill Clinton also spoke at the funeral. ( here ) The grand wizard is widely understood to be the highest leadership position of the KKK. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, was followed by “a descending hierarchy of grand dragons, grand titans, and grand cyclopses.” ( here ) Roland G. Fryer Jr., professor of economics at Harvard University, and Steven D. Levitt, professor of economics at the University of Chicago, explain the KKK membership roles in a 2011 paper called “Hatred and Profits: Under the Hood of the Ku Klux Klan” (see starting from page 11 here ).
