Newspaper article titled "Frostburg Visited by KKK Members"

Frostburg Visited By KKK Members

Ten robed members of the Invisible Empire, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan visited the downtown Frostburg area during the weekend to distribute literature and talk with anyone willing to listen.

Three young men wearing combat fatigues stood by as a security force, just "in case," according to one Klansman.

Scattered groups of curious on-lookers gathered on city streets as the KKK members solicited members.

"Personally, I don't want them here," a city official said.
