One Birmingham neighborhood received an unsettling wake-up the morning after Election Day when they discovered Ku Klux Klan recruiting fliers littering their neighborhood. Roy Brown discovered the flier as he made his way to his mailbox Wednesday morning in the Glen Iris neighborhood. “It’s an interesting morning to wake up to it,” he said. The front cover reads, “Get off the fence, whitey, and join the only group that has ever stood for the white man." “Don’t know what it’s doing here. (It’s a) strange coincidence after an election like that,” Brown said. Brown found the flier on his driveway around 8 a.m. Wednesday. He was surprised that it wasn’t attached to his mailbox, but said he believes it was a targeted drop-off. “I’m amused, that’s what I am. Amused that somebody would go around, print this out and put it in a neighborhood. We’re a very diverse neighborhood here,” he said. The inside cover of the flier reads: "Black radicals have reverted back to savages and more Muslims arrive daily." Brown said he’s going to keep the flier as a reminder of the past. “I’m old, and this city has gone through a lot. And to me, that’s what the coincidence is from there. And we still have to be reminded about it, sometimes. And that’s what this is. This is a reminder of our past, and we have to remember that,” he said. Though Brown finds the flier “amusing,” he believes whoever put it on his driveway was within their rights to do so. “That is their right to do it. The same way that it is the right for individuals to vote in this past election from here,” Brown said.
