NAACP meeting with KKK in Wyoming believed a first Sep 3rd 2013, 23:26, by By Associated Press, Associated Press CASPER, Wyo. — A meeting between a Wyoming chapter of the NAACP and an organizer for the Ku Klux Klan is believed to be the first of its kind. The Casper Star-Tribune reports that the meeting between Casper NAACP President Jimmy Simmons and John Abarr, a KKK organizer from Great Falls, Mont., took place at a Casper hotel over the weekend. The Southern Poverty Law Center and the United Klans of America said Tuesday that the meeting is a first.

Simmons spent several months attempting to organize the meeting due to concerns about reports of violence against black men and Ku Klux Klan pamphleting in Gillette, Wyo. The gathering, which took place in private under heavy security, was the first formal meeting between Klan and NAACP representatives that either side was aware of. (image/jpeg)
