Seawell Labels Klan Political Activity Illegal in NC
Raleigh attorney Malcolm B. Seawell, head of the state Klan investigative committee and chairman of the State Board of Elections, says the Ku Klux Klan engaged in illegal political activity by backing Klansmen for public office in North Carolina, citing the 1953 Moore Act. He comments after a Charlotte news conference by J. Robert Jones of the United Klans of America. Misenheimer, a Mecklenburg County Klansman, runs for the State House while Jones claims Klansmen hold or have held seats in the legislature.
