Aracially offensive banner referencing the Ku Klux Klan was found outside the Rockingham County Schools administration building in Eden, N.C., Wednesday morning. Based on a picture of the banner obtained from the Rockingham County Sheriff's Office, the sign's text reads "We will get our monument back and no N----- loving City Council will stop us! The REAL KKK does not play!"According to reports, the monument in question was knocked down by a driver last year. In May, the North Carolina United Daughters of the Confederacy got the green light to erect a new statue in the city-owned cemetery for Confederate soldiers. But the Historic Preservation Action Committee, however, wanted the statue fixed and moved to a downtown Reidsville location.
