came up with a similar figure.
"But it's very hard to keep i
track of these groups," she said. 1
"Our best guess is that there are
about 2,000 active Klan members '
| in the South, mostly in Texas, J
Georgia, Alabama and North J
I Carolina." 1
Bill Padgett of the Georgia 1
j Bureau of Investigation's anti- ?
terrorist team estimated that i
Georgia has no more than 250 ac- <
tive Klansmen and neo-Nazis.
"Until this thing in Forsyth
County, recent Klan rallies in !
Georgia haven't amounted to <
anything," he said. "Except for <
the annual Labor Day rally at J
Stone Mountain, we haven't seen more
than 65 people at a Klan
rally in Georgia for several i
years." 1
Mab Segrest, director of North i
Carolinians Against Racist and
Religious Violence in Durham,
said she has recorded 37 incidents
of Klan-inspired violence in recent
months. She also said she

"That is," she added, "we
were a very active state until this
3ast summer, when the U.S.
Justice Department got 21 convictions
against the Klan." She
said groups such as the White
Patriot Party, since disbanded,
were involved in paramilitary activities,
cross burnings and other
acts of harassment and violence
aimed at blacks and interracial
couples.
Five members of the White
Patriots, including chaplain
Stephen Miller, were recently indicted
on charges of conspiring to
obtain stolen explosives to kill
Morris Dees, founder of the
Southern Poverty Law Center.
Federal investigators said the five
men planned to blow up the
center, which has brought litigation
against various Klan groups.
Among the center's legal efforts,
Ms. Clark said, is a civil
lawsuit in Mobile, Ala., against
the United klans of America.
"Tjwo of the leaders of the
United Klans were involved in the

Charles Wittenstein, southern 1
regional director of the Anti- 1
Defamation League of B'nai i
B'rith, said Jews as well as blacks I
are being targeted by the hate
groups.
"In fact," he said, "we feel
we've seen an even greater
growth in anti-spmiticm than in
racism in recent years. Of course,
it's not difficult for these hate
groups to move from one to the
other."
Despite the fears and warnings
of the anti-Klan groups,
however, James Venable longs
for what he calls the "good oP
days" when the KKK was a potent
political force in the United
States.
"We had six Georgia governors
who were Klan members,"
said Venable, who holds a big annual
Klan rally at his farm near
Stone Mountain, a traditional
Klan shrine.
