An African-American woman is now the publisher and editor of the Alabama newspaper that recently urged the Ku Klux Klan to 'night ride again,' the paper said.

Elecia R. Dexter, a 'strategic leader with expertise in human resources, operations and change management,' took up the positions Thursday, the weekly Democrat-Reporter of Linden said in a press release.

Dexter replaces Goodloe Sutton, the newspaper's owner who penned a staggering editorial with the headline 'The Klan Needs to Ride Again' in the paper's February 14 edition.

Sutton still owns the newspaper, Dexter told CNN.
