| | (6/17/97) White Power Movement Targets Northern Michigan |
 | | City, Mich., noted primarily for its beaches, tourists and cherry pie values, appears to be erupting as a national battleground of opinion over the white power movement, with forces on both sides of the issue coming out of the woodwork to vent their outrage over racial issues. |
 | | Many, for instance, had no idea that there even was a Ku Klux Klan operating in the region until Neumann revealed that there are about 60 members operating mostly as "a fraternal organization" between Gaylord and the Mackinac Bridge. |
 | | But our thing is unity and celebrating diversity." In addition to several church seminars on the white power movement and the importance of diversity, Hate-Free TC is organizing a three-day "Unity Festival" which will feature dozens of musicians, artists, poets, actors and peace activists at the Traverse City Opera House, July 3-6. |
