Notable quote from today’s N&R front-pager on the controversy over a proposed historical marker commemorating the 179 Klan-Nazi shootout:
“I certainly don’t think those people deserved to die,” Greensboro Councilman Mike Barber said last week. “But if you go and poke a bunch of rednecks who have guns and you print ‘Death to the Klan’ fliers, that puts you in the stupid category if you ask me.”
Otherwise Joe Killian’s article is pretty much the same article you see on the front page of the N&R every few years. If putting up a historical marker means I won’t have to read this story for a few more years, then I say fine.
