Peggy Holland was a 47-year-old woman at the time of interview, which took place in her home in Concord, North Carolina. She was born in Spartanburg, South Carolina in 1957. She completed high school and was employed as an accountant in a mortgage bank.

Peggy Scoggin Holland recalls memories of her father, Robert E. Scoggin, particularly in regard to his role as a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in South Carolina. Mrs. Holland describes her childhood perspective of Klan rallies as social events involving whole families, and emphasizes her father's strengths as a leader, spokesperson, and organizer. She expresses her belief that the KKK has been misrepresented by the media, and stresses the libertarian aspects of her father's goals.
