Counties with the most active Klan/Patriot activity were Iredell, Forsyth, Rutherford, Bladen, Cleveland, Robeson, Harnett, Cumberland, Colum- bus, Onslow, Gaston, Nash and Union. Exporting Bigotry “North Carolina is also expor ting this bigotry to other states in the region,’’ said Mab Segrest, coordinator of NCARRV. In 1985, she said. South Carolina had at least six rallies led by Klans based in North Carolina (and seven illegal/violent in cidents).
