KKK opponents bring 'Harmony' to town

Harmony is a small, quiet town in a rural part of Iredell County, but it drew quite a crowd Saturday.

"This is a peaceful place and we just want to keep it that way," said Lori Dalton, who lives in the town.

Dozens of people gathered Saturday to protest a planned KKK rally there.

"This is 2012. You don't hear of stuff like this," said Renee Stevens, who traveled from Troutman.

"Their message is outdated," said Maggie Gordon, who helped organize the protest.

Barbara O'Brien, of Statesville, helped organize the protest. She said National Geographic has been following her family and members of the KKK. She was supposed to meet with them Saturday for a dialogue.

"My question will be, 'Why? Just why?'" she said.

The rally was announced Wednesday and members of the media were even invited to attend, but as Saturday's planned event came closer, members of the KKK never provided information on the location of the rally or returned calls for comment.

Later in the afternoon, O'Brien got some news from the National Geographic group with the KKK and shared it with the protesters.

"They passed the word that they were moving from Harmony to Virginia," O'Briensaid.

She is still planning to meet with the group, but already she feels like the protest was worth it.

"I didn't want to ignore injustice. I didn't want to ignore hate. I want to try and make a difference and I think it did make a difference," she said.

The protesters said they feel like Harmony has been put back in the town's name.
