“Men and women of the white race, now is the time to show just how white and proud you really are. We all fight for the survival of our white heritage, the purity of our white families. We must come together now to become a proud white force”…
The flyers for a white supremacist Fourth of July rally that started going up around Enumclaw, last June, shocked residents and drew regional media to the town, about 30 miles east of Tacoma.
Reporters parachuted in from nearby cities and bureaus to tell the dismaying story of overt racism turning up so close by. Then they left and put the rally on their daybooks for the Fourth.
