Yesterday, a KKK rally took place in Nahunta, Georgia. HistoricCity News reported the event as follows:

One news account from the scene just outside Brunswick said, “The KKK members are speaking to the crowd about immigration, gun-owner’s rights and sex offenders.”

Also seen in Nahunta are members representing the NAACP chanting “fire it up, ready to go.” Someone held a sign “racism is ridiculous.”

Although some businesses around the courthouse are closed for the day, out of fear the events could turn violent, so far, everything is peaceful. As expected, there is quite a substantial police presence at the rally; one reporter in Nahunta has counted approximately 115 law enforcement officers from 12 separate agencies on hand to keep the peace. In an NAACP press release, it was announced that they would be leading a multi-racial group of local community leaders and residents all concerned with the presence of the “historically racially polarizing organization.”

Klan members were seen wearing hoods, but no masks, in order to comply with Georgia law.

White supremacist groups, large and small, have been using immigration as a recruitment and organizing for many years.
