Dargan Frierson, whose career with the FBI included keeping tabs on the Ku Klux Klan, died Saturday.
He was 92, the News & Record reports.
His son recalls his father working a “tough assignment.”
“I remember him getting calls in the middle of the night, having to drive down to the Eastern part of the state, where they had a bombing, Dargan Frierson Jr. said of his father. “But he did it every day. Put in those extra hours. He was a hardworking agent. He was courageous. He was a great father and grandfather.”
Dargan Frierson spent much of his career recruiting KKK members, including George Dorsett, chaplain of the United Klans of America.
