Description
A march of Ku Klux Klan members, led by Nation Knights of the Ku Klux Klan members Addie Barlow Frazier and Grand Dragon Earl Hawkins, in downtown Dallas, Texas on November 3, 1979. About 50 Klansmen began the march at Commerce and Harwood streets but ended abruptly when Dallas police herded the Klan into the basement of the Dallas County Courthouse when it appeared violence might occur between the protesters and the Klan. After the Klan march, an estimated 2,500 anti-Klan protesters, calling themselves the Coalition for Human Dignity, marched through the downtown area. Dallas activist groups, such as the Mexican-American Brown Berets and the East Dallas Bois D'Arc Patriots, were in force in the march, which also attracted Catholic theology students, feminists, representatives of the gay community, and many others.
