Ku Klux Klan faced the Lumbee Indian village in North Carolina and did not pass

18 January 1958,

Ku Klux Klan and Lumbee were indigenous peoples in North Carolina, USA. Some 50 KKK armed members called the march against miscegenation between white people and people of origin, but before they started, hundreds of lumbies surrounded them angry. The police had to get the KK members out of there.

Lumbee's neighbours celebrated their victory with the banner removed from the racists as a war prize.

When the news broke out, many took Lumbe as heroes.
