OXFORD, MS (WAFB) - THE Ku Klux Klan rallied in front of Fulton Chapel in Oxford Saturday.
About a dozen hooded members of the Mississippi White Knights spent about ten minutes waving flags, displaying Nazi-style salutes and occasionally gesturing at a group of about 250 hecklers, including young children.
Klan members were protesting the school's decision to drop a song called "Dixie." Some fans had been ending the song by chanting, "the south will rise again."
The chancellor asked the band to stop playing the song after fans ignored a request to drop the chant.
The Klan said it was protesting over lost southern symbolism at Ole Miss.
