Superman helped bring down the KKK

In the 1940s, the popular Adventures of Superman radio program ran a 16-episode series, incorporating the findings of activist Stetson Kennedy, who had infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan but couldn't get local authorities to use the information to crack down on them. The creators of the Superman show used Kennedy's spy secrets to help tell the story of the "Clan of the Fiery Cross" exposing the organization to the public and earning it widespread mockery and condemnation.
