Abstract:

A Native American tribe has endured racial and ethnic bias in Robeson since their arrival in the mid-eighteenth century. This enduring spirit could have contributed to their successful contention with the Klu Klux Klan in 1958, a nationally recognized that helped paved the way for their present national and local political prowess.
