<p>A fight is brewing over a proposed Mississippi special licence plate that would honour an early leader of the Ku Klux Klan.</p>
<p>The Mississippi Division of Sons of Confederate Veterans says it wants to sponsor five state-issued licence plates to commemorate the 150th anniversary of what it calls the &#8220;War Between the States&#8221;.</p>
<p>The group wants the 2014 plate to feature Civil War Confederate general Nathan Bedford Forrest, who is revered by some as a military genius and reviled by others for leading the 1864 massacre of black Union troops at Fort Pillow, Tennessee</p>
<p>Gen Forrest was a Klan grand wizard in his native Tennessee after the war.</p>
<p>State president of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People Derrick Johnson says Mississippi should not honour a man who was an early leader of a terrorist group.</p>
