I remember in the early 80's they burned a cross in front of the factory I was working at. A white girl and a black girl got into a fight at work. The company fired the white girl who started the fight. Three days later the KKK burned a cross in front of the factory. KKK printed propaganda literature was found all over the inside of the factory.
