Asheboro, congressman denounce KKK cross burning; rally planned in town

A North Carolina Ku Klux Klan group announced on its website that it had planned to hold a rally and cross burning in May in Asheboro, NC. The city and its U.S. congressman heard that this was going to be planned and were not happy about it. Mayor David H. Smith said in the statement that “The people of Asheboro have worked too hard to unify our community to let an outside group come in and spread racist views without raising our voices loudly in protest."

People were on their toes about this planned event because it was not right and should be stopped from happening. The KKK group also has further plans for this month. U.S. Rep. Mark Walker said “The KKK rally planned for May in Randolph County is a reminder of the hateful ideologies that exists within a minuscule group." This is crazy to till hear these rallys being planned even till this day. This group is awful and with efforts to stop them, they will no longer have a group.
