Fair use rationale for Image:Gov Ed Jackson2.jpg

Image:Gov Ed Jackson2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Was Jackson a Klan member? historians find no evidence for that

Jackson never said he belonged to the Klan. The leading historians of the Klan Indiana say that he took a $2500 bribe from Klan leader Stephenson, but they did not say that Jackson was ever a member. see Citizen Klansmen: The Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, 1921-1928 by Leonard J. Moore and Indiana Through Tradition and Change: A History of the Hoosier State by James H. Madison. The latter book states clearly that the Klan effort to pass legislation in Indiana in 1925 "ended in nearly total failure." – and that the Catholic newspaper praised the legislature: "The honor of Indiana, as a home of religious liberty has been redeemed by the Legislature of 1925." Madison pages 67-68 Rjensen (talk) 16:00, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

I do not appreciate the tone of the Klan section. It's almost designed to tone down his affiliation as much as possible without regard to all of the facts. I will post more references to give it greater balance "Jackson’s relationship with the Klan was soon problematic for him, and whether he became an active member remains in dispute. Jackson certainly could be found in the company of Klansmen, and he actively supported Klan approved agenda in the state capital. While still Secretary of State Jackson attempted to bribe the governor to appoint Klan members to various non-elected but influential positions in the state government. The amount of the bribe was $23,000, the source of the money was the state Klan organization, and the governor was a multimillionaire who rejected both because the action or the amount – historians aren’t sure which – offended his sensibilities."
