- Description:
- This article by Kathy Hoke of the Greensboro News & Record reports on the continuing activities of hate groups in North Carolina, including the Ku Klux Klan and the White Patriot Party. While legal actions had resulted in a drop in activity, the groups were still active and causing fear among blacks and whites in North Carolina, according to reports by Klanwatch, a division of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Once cited incident was a petition circulated in Greensboro to stop a Klan march; apparently, blacks and whites alike were reluctant to sign, even those who were opposed to the Klan. This article was saved in a scrapbook by Clarence "Curly" Harris, manager of the Greensboro Woolworth store at the time of the sit-ins. The context and placement of the article within the scrapbook suggest that it may date from November or December, 1989.
