About a dozen people wearing white Klan robes and waving Confederate flags held a recruitment rally last Saturday outside the Hanover County courthouse.

The Hanover County Sheriff’s Office said that they received multiple calls about the Ku Klux Klan rally outside the courthouse. But officials said no laws were broken and no violence occurred.

The rally north of Richmond lasted about an hour.

The Klansmen waived signs and held banners urging prospective new members to contact them.

W. Canova Peterson, chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, said he disagrees with the Klan, but was pleased that things remained peaceful.
