Klan Will Be Allowed to Rally at Gettysburg
From Times Wire Reports
The National Park Service has granted the Ku Klux Klan’s request to hold a rally and protest the Iraq war at the Civil War battlefield where President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address.
Gordon Young of the World Knights of the Ku Klux Klan obtained the permit for about 100 people to participate in a Sept. 2 event at Gettysburg National Military Park.
The purpose will be to demonstrate opposition to the Iraq war and to speak on “white unity between the north and south,” the permit said.
