Klan rally in South Bend You'll get the most out of the web with a 4.0 or higher browser. We suggest Internet Explorer or Netscape . The downtown area was the site of a Ku Klux Klan rally and counter rally. Around 30 Klan supporters gathered in front of the courthouse. At the same time, dozens and dozens of anti-Klan protestors waved signs and shouted at the Klan, telling them to go home.
Police say they had everyone go through a metal detector before the rally started.
One of the hang ups that we had were the flags and the flag poles that they had, said Captain John Williams of the South Bend Police Department. We were originally not going to let them come through with the sticks attached to the flags. We backed down so that we could go ahead and get this thing done and over with. More than one hundred police officers were on hand to keep the rally peaceful. Michiana Telecasting Corp. All rights reserved.
