A TERRIBLE MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE (MILITARY--VIETNAM.) KLAN. The Camp Pendleton 14. Rare grouping of 10 flyers, broadsides, and a petition, for the defense of the Camp Pendleton 14. condition varies, should be seen. California, 1976
During the latter part of 1976, the Klan began circulating racist propaganda at the 32,000 man Marine Base at Camp Pendleton in Southern California. The Klan put up and passed out its "White Man Awake" posters and leaflets; they burned a Black officer's car, openly wore KKK insignia, threatened black marines and openly called for recruits to become KKK members. When the Klan called for a meeting on November 13th, fourteen black marines went looking for the meeting. Mistakenly, they went to the room next door where four whites and two Chicanos were partying. These six were severely beaten, and the Klansmen got away without a scratch. Though the black marines had clearly beaten the wrong people, there were obvious mitigating circumstances. The case served to bring attention to the KKK presence in the Armed Services. The top brass at Pendleton had even allowed Klan leader David Duke, free access to the base "to protect the rights of white servicemen." In the end, CORE, the NAACP and the liberal press all tossed the blacks to the wolves. The ACLU even defended the Klan's right to free speech.
