Cable network A&E on Friday changed the name of of its new eight-hour documentary series on the Ku Klux Klan after criticism that the show seemed to be glorifying the hate group.
Originally called "Generation KKK," the series will now be titled "Escaping the KKK: A Documentary Series Exposing Hate in America."
A&E announced the change Friday. The documentary is scheduled to start airing Jan. 10.
"Grey's Anatomy" actress Ellen Pompeo earlier this week called for a boycott of the network over the series, tweeting: “So I guess A&E stands for ...we will try to put Anything and Everything on tv... because we are a bunch of desperate pathetic tv execs."
"The network is changing the name of the show to ensure that no one can mistake its intent and that the title alone does not serve to normalize the Klan," the statement said.
