Klan Activity In Michigan Debated Amid Headquarters Change
A Detroit Associated Press report notes no clear evidence of current Ku Klux Klan activity in Michigan though officials say the group remains technically active.

A Detroit grand jury probes alleged factory Klan activity as officials report no large scale Klan cells in autos plants. The piece traces Michigan Klan history from 1920s upswing to postwar suppression and public parades.
