Billboard advertisement leads to KKK radio

HARRISON — A new billboard in Harrison advertises Web-based "whiteprideradio.com" and is leased by the Knights Party of Zinc, formerly the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Knights Party national director Thom Robb told The Harrison Daily Times that the group is leasing the space for a year. Robb was national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which The Southern Poverty Law Center says Robb renamed the Knights Party.

The billboard shows a young girl holding a dog and reads "It's NOT Racist to (love) Your People," with an image of a heart in place of the word love. It includes the website www.whiteprideradio.com, which redirects to www.kkkradio.com.

Another billboard in Harrison that read "Anti-Racist is a Code Word for Anti-White" was taken down just more than a year ago.
