A South Carolina preacher and local resident are turning what once was a Ku Klux Klan meeting place into a community center dedicated to educating and fighting against racial injustice.
Deep in Laurens stands the historic Echo Theater, perched in between diners and cafes bustling with customers and '50s music that can be heard from the street.But that building carries a history much darker than the cheerful life that surrounds it.In 1996, the once segregated movie theater became home to the Redneck Shop, a White supremacist store that sold White nationalist and neo-Nazi paraphernalia, Klans robes and Confederate memorabilia up until its forced closure in 2012.
burdenmovie Wow CNN you pay your hates viewing opinion News hosts so much money, I think one week's pay between them all could rebuild that little building. You've done nothing but make money off of dividing the country, preaching hate. CNN actually participated in Ferguson riots.
Of the 5 Injury Areas ALL RACIAL INJUSTICE is the injury area of Peoplehood. There are 5InjuryAreas that no cash amount and no economic program can heal/repair: 1)PeopleHood 2)Education 3)Health 4) Criminal Punishment 5)Wealth We need ReparationsNow
Stamp out every trace of that evil. Like vampires they can’t stand the light.
How appropriate...Amen n God bless u!
cdoyle222 The clan is still alive and well. But progress happens slowly and for most they will have to die before change happens. Luckily the GOP has helped that along by screwing up the Covid response.
The_Nabster NICE
1%Corporate News Network celebrates this below Mason Dixon Line now that a Planter Elite Protector is soon to be President. (After DNC 1% donor coup on SC primary eve.)Would CNN celebrate one fighting for all of the 99% who do not feel they have a voice in DC or corporate media?

RoArquette Awesome !
RoArquette We need so much more of THIS, please 🙏💙
CaramelCatsby Meanwhile the local cemetery is churning with white folks turning over in their graves. 😉
Right on
way to keep the klan in the news demonic news media That happened 35 years ago...CNN is a liberal demonic news network. BLM is such a false narrative. FBI stats say that killing unarmed black men is an all time low. 8 to 15 a year. Most deserved that
We are starting to see good news again. Wonderful!
Stop gaslighting
scottkernest “Hello this is the redneck shop” “Hi, do you have confederate flag tampons” *hangs up the phone*
Blacks kill more blacks in six months than the Klan lynched in their entire existence. 🤣
More of this. And less asking racist, Trump supporters 'how they feel'. Decent human beings don't care about them. They're garbage.
👍🏼❤️ Wasn’t Hitler’s birthplace turned into a Jewish childcare center? Similar. Removing evil spirits and bad vibes, sorta...
That's how it should be.
Oooh. Now thats awesome 😇
Excellent
Awesome 👏 turning the tides of hate is a beautiful thing.

This is what we call 'progress'...
You people are really broken. Wake UP!!! CNN is lyin to you as always
morgfair HR1 is a sweeping election reform bill already passed in the House, and would become federal law if passed by the Senate Among other things, HR1 mandates: 1 - Independent redistricting commissions 2 - Hand marked paper ballots 3 - An explicit right to vote in federal law
the_60s_at_60 Fantastic. That's what should be done. Do not destroy these places. Make them historical learning sites.
Why? Do uplift white bigotry like it can't be controlled? The day of the old is over. Adjust and intimidate back folk. An eye for an eye intimidate that race.
Boring, kkk is much more existing 😁
Sounds good.👏
Excellent idea. No boneheaded racists allowed.
RepJeffDuncan please take some time to visit this awesome center in your district. Leave your fav socks at home. They are no longer appropriate. Never were.
‘Fighting racial injustice’ = more black billionaires and more poor whites. If you’re not against all economic inequality you’re not in favour of justice
I hope they sage the shit out of that place.
Now That jack And Twitter Control Free Speech In The UNIVERSE,And Removed TRUMP Without ANY Evidence...Will Twitter BAN MEN & Women IN CAGES Beating The HELL Out Of Each Other? Does UFC Incite Violence?
What exactly would be for sale at a white supremacist store? Oil-soaked crosses?
What a great idea.
Alan just said he's standing up for the rights of Nazis . I thought I was hearing things
Lessons of racism needs to be local. MLK Day and Black History Month do not reach people in a way that impacts their daily life.
Public restrooms would have been fitting = literally anything other than what it was.
👏👏👏👏
Brilliant
Trump will be disappointed
Can he do the same at Fox?
but where will the republicans meet now
🙌 that’s fixing infrastructure
