IKKKKK recruitment drive in Wireglass, Alabama
Klan fliers reported in Wiregrass
The plain flier features a clip art picture of a hooded man carrying a torch. He is wearing a white, flowing cape and sits on top of a horse.
Around him are the words “Save Our Land. Join the Klan.”
The fliers are circulating in the Wiregrass, according to the Rev. Kenneth Glasgow, who said one found its way to the offices of WCMA Radio in Level Plains. The station is managed by Glasgow’s Christian ministry known as TOPS, or The Ordinary People Society.
Glasgow said the station received calls from several residents in the Daleville area who reported receiving the flier.
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Glasgow said.
Unde
rneath the picture of the klansman on a horse is contact information for the headquarters of the International Keystone Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, an Arkansas-based group whose Web site references an Alabama office in Pinson as well as one in Newton. No contact information is on the Web site for the Newton office, only a post office box.
“I don’t know if this has been going on all the time and they just got more bold or what,” said Glasgow, who is black. “We have a lot of local leaders in our community who are working together — black, white and hispanic — and that’s something positive that is going on.”
A phone message left by the Dothan Eagle at the International Keystone Knights headquarters in Colt, Ark., was not returned.
