Anti-Defamation League believes Adamsville KKK rally is real

Just dropping this here, since it from my hometown, Adamsville, AL, and is popping up on my fb, constantly. And no one is for this, but it is causing a controversy there.

It's all bs to me, and won't amount to anything. But they aren't taking it lightly.

The flyer says the fall festival will include speakers, entertainment and a cross burning.

An investigative researcher with the Anti-Defamation League says the chapter named on the flyers isn't known to do public rallies, but she believes the rally is real.

A similar notice was sent out in July about The New Empire Knights of the KKK rally in Abbeville, South Carolina. The sheriff there brought in extra officers just in case.

The chief and the mayor of Adamsville attended a council meeting on Monday night to hear concerns from the public. They want people to know they are taking this seriously and will take necessary measures to keep people safe.

We reached out to the New Empire Knights via email and phone. We received a call from a man who said he represents the West Virginia chapter of the KKK.

John Hemler said his chapter has active members in the state of Alabama, but their rallies are usually held on private property and aren't open to the public. Hemler said another chapter of the Klan could be planning the rally.
