[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with Roanoke? [/quote]

Roanoke has traditionally been the biggest hot bed of KKK activity in Virginia. Going back to the 1800s. [/quote]

Really? Both my parents are from there. Lots of other family, too.  Never heard a thing about it. Like, never.

You sure it was Roanoke you’re thinking of? Not Richmond? Or Danville ? [/quote]

Or [i]Lynch[/i]burg?????

Sorry, Roanoke is not and has never been an epicenter of kkk activity in Virginia.

Roanoke is a railroad town. Railroad towns, throughout history, have tended to be the most integrated cities in the 19th and 20th centuries. People from everywhere, getting mixed together by virtue of train travel and railroad jobs.

Plus, Roanoke, being in a relatively small mountain valley subject to flooding, and having generally poor, rocky soil, didn’t have a Antebellum plantation culture that was dependent on huge numbers of slaves to do agricultural work. Very, very few slaves in that part of Virginia. [/quote]
