Biographical History
James William "Catfish" Cole (1924-1967) was an evangelist and active member of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. A Klan rally in Maxton, N.C., developed into a highly publicized confrontation with the Lumbee Indians and led to Cole's arrest and conviction. He served a prison sentence (1959-1960) for inciting a riot. He was also involved in the Committee for Better Government, a political action group with Klan overtones.
