In a follow-up to a story Fox 29 broke on Wednesday, the Klu Klux Klan may be trying to recruit new members in Philadelphia as well as Delaware.
According to the latest Census data, about 62 percent of Philadelphia’s population is Black, Latino or Asian.
Fox 29’s Claudia Gomez talked to one of the top leaders in the Klu Klux Klan on Thursday. She spoke to Chris Barker by phone and he’s the number two guy in a faction of the KKK called the “Rebel Brigade, Knights Of The Ku Klux Klan.”
Barker is based in North Carolina, and he says he oversees KKK operations in Delaware:
For the past several months, the Ku Klux Klan has been leaving a calling card outside homes in New Castle County, Delaware, hoping to find new members. The baggies include a couple of phone numbers. So we called, and eventually heard back from barker.
“We’re going to start doing more stuff in Delaware. We’re looking at now purchasing land out there for a compound they’re going to have built out there. We’ll start holding our annual meetings in Delaware and Maryland,” he said.
