The #AYAK is an inversion of the well-known #AKIA symbol and an abbreviation used by the #KuKluxKlan for “Are You A Klansman?”
It is related to the #Klan acronym #AKIA (“A Klansman I Am”). These are among the many acronyms developed by the Second Ku Klux Klan, which emerged in 1915. Although the Second Ku Klux Klan did not last indefinitely, much of its terminology and many of its rituals survived, and subsequent Klan groups have freely used them to this day, with numerous variations.
