Members of the Ku Klux Klan marched in Durham and Chapel Hill, N.C., and 12 people, including at least three klansmen, were arrested on charges ranging from weapons possession to drugs, authorities said. About 63 people took part in the 20-minute march and membership rally in Durham, said Virgil Griffin, imperial wizard of the Christian Knights. About 40 klansmen moved to Chapel Hill, where an estimated 2,000 people lined the parade route and heckled the marchers, officials said. It was the first time the klan had marched in Chapel Hill since 1963.
