Ku Klux Klan might hold rally in Bloomington

A Ku Klux Klan rally might be held in Bloomington this spring.\nThe director of Bloomington's Safe and Civil City program, Beverly Calender-Anderson, received an e-mail Wednesday from Phil Lawson, the Imperial Wizard of the United Northern and Southern Knights of the KKK. No specific date was mentioned in the e-mail.\nThe e-mail came just days after KKK leaflets were distributed to the yards of several Bloomington homes. Mayor Mark Kruzan released a statement regarding those e-mails, saying that the distributor of the leaflets craves attention and that it is frustrating to fuel the desire by responding to the leaflets.\n"I want the community to know that the city of Bloomington administration and city council find the materials to be as offensive as do all of our citizens," Kruzan said.
