02/14/2009: "KKK leader Virgil Griffin dies"

Even in later years, when the KKK could barely muster enough Klansmen to hold a march, Virgil Griffin was defiant.

In interviews over the years, he remained stubbornly unrepentant for cross burnings, his white supremacist views - and his part in a 1979 "Death to the Klan" rally in Greensboro where five Communist labor organizers were fatally shot.

Four years ago, he told a group studying the shootings that he never would have gone to that rally had he not been goaded.

"They told us to 'come out from under our rocks.' I don't hide under no rock for nobody," said Griffin, imperial wizard of the Mount Holly-based Cleveland Knights of the KKK.

[ RIP Virgil Griffin. Wish we had more men with such fierce devotion to the future of the white race. ]
