Anti Defamation League Report
Extremism in America
In this report, ADL documents a noticeable spike in activity by Klan chapters across the country:
Longstanding groups have increased their activity and experienced a rapid expansion in size.
New groups have appeared, causing racial tensions in communities previously untroubled by racial issues. They hold anti-immigration rallies and recruitment drives and distribute racist literature with a new emphasis on the immigration issue, and Hispanics.
Klan groups have become more active in parts of the country that had not seen much activity in recent years, including the Great Plains States such as Iowa and Nebraska, and Mid-Atlantic states such as Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The report includes a state-by-state listing of active Klan groups.
Klan groups increasingly are cooperating with neo-Nazi groups.
The Klan has adopted new publicity tricks and has embraced the Internet as a means to spread anti-Semitism and racism.
