| Utah Ku Klux Klan | |
| (Information about Northwest militia-type groups) | |
| By Sarah Horn University of Idaho journalism student Who: Utah Ku Klux Klan Location: Headquartered in Pulaski, Tenn. Region: Ogden, Salt Lake City and Riverton, Utah. Activity: Started in 1922 and dwindled in 1924. After World War II there was a resurgence that is still active today but have been underground since 1981. The Klan protests gun control, rallies against Jews and homosexuals, and is against censorship and integration of schools. The Klan rallies with other factions such as Aryan Nations, WASP, the Order, Posse Comitatus, and neo-Nazi groups. Utah violence is minimal but could act up again. Primary Beliefs: The KKK has moved away from harsh racist beliefs and has instead emphasized their "love of the white race." Objectives: This is America, this is our country, and we should keep it that way. Keep immigrants and blacks out of power because they are inferior to whites. Let the white man be proud of his race and heritage the way the black man is about his without being labeled "prejudice."
