KKK members visit Tupelo Mayor Jack Reed Jr.




Apparently 10 card carrying young male klan members approached newly elected Tupelo mayor Jack Reed Jr. and spoke about an incident where outgoing Tupelo Police Major Ronnie Thomas was ordered to remove a picture of Nathan Bedford Forrest from his wall.


"The men referenced the First Amendment, saying Thomas had the right to display what he wished.

Reed offered an example of a local bank that told its employees to remove all personal items from their work spaces, including family photos, to present a more professional look. He also asked the men to research the facts before jumping to any conclusions.

Everyone was cordial.

No fights. No arguments. No hoods."
