White Protesters Promptly Confront and Shut down a ‘Ku Klux Kookout’ In an Indiana Park

Posted byBy Lauren Floyd | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It only took about 10 minutes for white protesters to shut down a Ku Klux Klan picnic dubbed the “Ku Klux Kookout” in front of Indiana law enforcement officers.

No one was arrested or injured at the event Saturday in Madison near the Ohio River banks, even though protesters got into a shouting match with KKK members in front of both Indiana State Police and the Madison Police Department, WSAW-TV reported.

Instead, the verbal dispute quickly lost steam shortly after the first small motorcade of KKK members arrived around 1:30 p.m.

“The ‘honorable sacred knights’ of the KKK showed up here at the park and were chased out within minutes because hate has no place here in Madison, Indiana,” Mike Gamms, one of the protesters told Fox 8.

Gamms, who described himself to Fox as an anti-fascist, dressed up as Spider-Man at the event.

“If they do this event again, I bet Spider-Man and his amazing friends will be here again,” he said.

Protesters included members of local churches.

One of them, Evelyn Wheeler, told Fox she wanted “to bless the area for ordinary life, take away the hostility, take away the anger,” and “take away the fear.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
