This Memorial Day Weekend, the Imperial Klans of America will host NordicFest 2008 in Dawson Springs, Kentucky. The weekend-long event is billed as "one of the premier social events for the white nationalist commnity" on the IKA website. The weekend will include a cross and swastika lighting, as well as a children's playground, bands, speakers and vendors.
Even promotional materials for the event admit that, in recent years, fights have been dangerously out of control at this event. One year, rival white power factions started a veritable riot. The groups who both plan and attend this weekender -- the KKK, Vinlanders, National Socialist Movement and Outlaw Hammerskins, to name just a few -- all have long track records of violence against minorities and those they believe stand in the way of their 'movement.'
Dawson Springs is home to the headquarters of the Imperial Klans of America. The IKA are the subject of an upcoming lawsuit filed by Southern Poverty Law Center over a brutal attack on a teenage boy of Latin American descent; members of the IKA allegedly attacked the boy because they believed he was an illegal immigrant. The attack took place not far from where last year's NordicFest took place, and only weeks after white power bands called on their NordicFest audience to show "no mercy" to "spics."
