Anti-Klan advocates face contempt hearing in Chicago
Two anti-Ku Klux Klan activists from the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee faced a federal contempt hearing in Chicago over their refusal to surrender subpoenas seeking committee literature and materials. They reject the subpoenas as overbroad, arguing the materials are public or non-existent, and say the grand jury targets political groups. The hearing before Chief U.S. District Judge John Grady could lead to civil contempt charges.
