No, The Ku Klux Klan Is Not Coming To Detroit Tomorrow

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

Quite a few Detroiters are sharing a screengrab of a purported news story that says the Ku Klux Klan is "planning to form a peaceful protest towards the African American Museum on East Warren ave" on Wednesday. No, they're not.

The screengrab uses a font that's pretty close to the one used for Detroit News headlines, so it's easy for the uninitiated to make that mistake. It's a little worrisome that so many people can't see through the rest of the bullshit.

There is an "African American Museum" on East Warren Avenue — that would be the Charles H. Wright Museum of African-American History. You should know that it would be referred to as such in a serious news story.
