Original Note:
Regardless of when the photo was taken, or how "regretful" Byrd was of his time in the Klan – the meme is factually accurate While he wasn't the top "grand imperial wizard", he was one of many leaders (an "exalted cyclops") in their (incredibly stupidly named) hierarchy https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2010/06/robert-byrd-was-an-exalted-cyclops-in-the-ku-klux-klan-what-does-that-mean.html
