Abstract:

The Ku Klux Klan of the 1960s, which was alive and well in North Carolina and has been documented in a new film 'Klansville U.S.A.' by UNC- Chapel Hill graduate Callie T. Wiser, bears a striking similarity to the Tea Party faction of today's Republican Party.

Abstract:

A study by North Carolinians Against Racist and Religious Violence (NCARRV) says that reports of hate crimes are increasing in North Carolina. The study reported that Durham and Orange counties were hot spots for violence against minorities and possible Klu Klux Klan activity. In response, the state plans to introduce a bill to make racial and ethnic intimidation a misdemeanor.
