Police in the small town of Roxboro, North Carolina plan to meet today to talk about a KKK event over the weekend, during which police blocked traffic to allow for a caravan of vehicles displaying Confederate flags and white nationalist symbols. As the cars and trucks passed by, participants yelled “white power” from their vehicles.
