Comment on this story
Some Raleigh residents awoke Thanksgiving Day and found Ku Klux Klan fliers in their front yards.The fliers, titled "The First Thanksgiving Proclamation," include a reprint of a 330-year-old proclamation setting aside June 29, 1676, as a day of thanksgiving in Charlestown, Mass. At the bottom were the address and phone number for the Klan's national office in Arkansas and a plug for the KKK's online telecast, "This is the Klan."Nobody at the Klan's national office in Harrison, Ark., responded to a phone message left Thursday.In the past, Klan leaders have said they encourage people to print fliers off their Web site, wrap them in old newspapers and distribute them in neighborhoods.Some of the fliers found Thursday in West Raleigh and North Raleigh were wrapped in old copies of The News & Observer.
