KKK Flyer Social

KKK Flyer Social

Now.

Tonight on 44news at 10 -- it is not a joke - a racist flyer that's been circulating the hoosier state for weeks --- now grabbing attention in evansville.

The piece of paper meant to divide our community.

The number on the flyer does work and the voicemail says -- they are the ku klux klan and white power.

But as 44news reporter erran huber reports ---- evansville is standing together in the fight against this deplorable campaign.

Ringin* "you have reached the honorable sacred knights of the ku klux klan.

Thank you, god bless.

White power."

That's just a portion of what we heard when we called the number on the bottom of this flyer.

On the day across the nation people are celebrating juneteenth-- whether or not the flyers were distributed in evansville physically--they have certainly now been seen here--through virtual shares.

And the message-- and the organization--all too real.

The anti- defamation league--lists that chapter on its website as a "small madison, indiana based klan group.

They called attention to themselves-- last spring--when a small group traveled to dayton ohio.

Here in evansville though-- protesters who have gathered for weeks.

Say-their focus is on a celebration of love this juneteenth.

"it makes me feel special, because there's people coming out from all walks of earth to support black people."

Unfortunately -- sharing the flyer online uncensored-gets the contact information and the possibility of recruitment out in our area-- and could inspire copycats.

Speaking to the power of social media--to spread a message beyond even what the creators of that message imagined.

But the protesters here in evansville for sure--say "it's getting out, as well as our message.

We're not going nowhere.

Our message is loud and clear, just as their message is loud and clear.

We're not going nowhere.

We're going to stand up for our rights and what we believe in."

We did leave a message at that number to confirm if the group had been in evansville--and for comment.

We haven't heard back from them yet--but we'll keep you informed.

Eh 44news thanks erran -- as
