Louis Speiginer Family Branch
"Mother told us to stay back, but my sister Delores and I looked at each other, started boiling water and grabbed baseball bats,"
"Mother loaded her gun. Dad approached each one of the 12 Klansmen up close and face to face. He spoke very low and quietly, challenging their right to tell him and his family what we could and could not do in the country of our birth."
"……. They could see mother's strength and dad's courage. She told them what she'd do `If you touch one of mine.' I think we all have that fight in us. We inherited it from our parents,"
