Its Post-Reconstruction Time in Virginia
What is it about Prince William County that is creating such hatred - enough to bring in the Klan? People say they are against the KKK, but we'll see who really means it.

Klan Leaflets Denounced in Manassas
Members of Both Sides of Debate Reject Appeal to 'White Christian America'

Dozens of Ku Klux Klan leaflets calling for a ban on "all non-white immigration" were distributed last weekend in Manassas, where a dispute over illegal immigration has raised tensions in recent weeks.
The leaflets, dropped at night into mailboxes and on driveways along one street, urged "white Christian America" to stand up for its rights. Smatterings of racist literature are distributed in communities throughout the region every few weeks, but this incident struck a raw nerve in Manassas.
Klan officials, who are based in Arkansas, said yesterday that Virginia residents had asked them for Klan literature to deliver in Manassas.
...The leaflets contain a brief history of the Klan, tell how to contact and join the group, and urge "white Christian Americans" to unite in defense against a variety of issues, including drugs, gang violence and pornography. They also opposed immigration by Mexicans and other "non-white" groups, who they said seek to "take over" the country.
Police said no problems or incidents were reported in connection with the leafleting, and no arrests were made.
