The members of the leadership of the local NAACP and the local council of churches have about 12 hours to come up with a decision about what if anything they will do about this. I will definitely be involved in the NAACP decision and may be involved in the Council of Churches decision.
Any suggestions or comments?
HAGERSTOWN, Md. — A Maryland Ku Klux Klan group says it will hold a membership rally Saturday at the Antietam National Battlefield near Sharpsburg, where thousands died in a Civil War clash that set the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation.
The Rosedale-based Confederate White Knights oppose U.S. immigration policies and the administration of President Barack Obama, Imperial Wizard Richard Preston said Tuesday in a telephone interview. Preston said he expects to bring nine members, some in white robes and hoods, to the event.
The white separatist group received a permit last week to hold the gathering near the Mumma Farm, a battlefield feature visible from the visitor center, Superintendent Susan Trail said. The park implemented free-speech permits in 2006, the last time a Klan unit demonstrated on the battlefield.
Washington County Sheriff Douglas Mullendore said battlefield officials have asked his agency to stand by Saturday with a transport vehicle in case of arrests.
The battlefield is about 12 miles from my house
