I think you should use it if it is the perfect quote to start your essay, as long as you're not being racist in the essay there shouldn't be a problem. Just because he isn't a very good man doesn't mean that he can't say something completely true and relevant.

Nobody has to know that the author was part of the KKK, just use the quote if it's good.

I mean if it was a good quote, it may be referring to something bad but if you use it in the context of your essay it shouldn't be racist
