Richard Williams, father of tennis greats Serena and Venus, grew up poor, with an unloving father. His father left Williams’ mother, Julia, and her five children.
Richard stole to help his family survive. Finally, the young man left Louisiana to make a better life in Chicago, but Robert decided that he just had to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr. Williams stole a Klan outfit and his sisters made up his hands to look like he had white skin.
After biking into a white neighborhood Richard put on his roves and selected his victim – a white farmer and his teen son sitting on a park bench, smoking and drinking. Creeping up from behind, he brought the stick down on their heads, and they cried out and fell to the ground.
