May 09--EDEN -- Several members of the Ku Klux Klan apparently held a demonstration on the site of a former Sonic Drive-In on Tuesday evening.
David Dude, who owns the property at 104 E. Harris Place, said he was notified by the Eden Police that five Klan members were waving signs and holding a peaceful demonstration on the vacant lot. The demonstrators left after Dude told police they did not have permission to be there.
Dude said he doesn't know what the demonstration was about, what was on the signs or how long the demonstration lasted.
A reporter for the News & Record said she visited the vacant lot around 7:30 p.m. and talked to an Eden Police officer who confirmed that there were white-robed members of the Klan on the property. The officer did not provide any details.
