Michigan Town
Bans KKK
THREE RIVERS, Mich.
A local chapter of the Ku
Klux Klan has been barred
from meeting in the public
library or other city-owned
buildings in this western
Michigan town.
Daniel Emery, head of the
local Klan branch, said the
city commission's action
was unconstitutional and
that he would contact KKK
officials in Georgia for ad-
vice. Emery's request for
the meeting followed a
campaign by the Klan to
remove several books the
Klan considers pornog-
raphic from the library's
shelves.
