Anti-Racist Protesters Fight Back Against the KKK in Anaheim, California

--

This past Saturday the Klu Klux Klan chapter of Anaheim announced that it would stage a protest. In anticipation of the KKK a group of anti-racist and anti-fascist organizations held a rally and as the Klan arrived they were met swiftly by the protesters. What followed unfolded quickly as KKK members stabbed three people in the park. After months of protests in front of Mosques in the United States and an emboldened set of White Supremacist organizations with the political rhetoric of the Republican party and Fox News, it was only time before something like this happened.

Check out the video and this incredible set of photos by Heather Davini Boucher that captured a moment where a community would not allow hate speech and white supremacists in their neighborhood.
