A gathering of Klan
Leaders from the
Northeast and South

“loyal white knights” of the KKK
chaplain Douglas Munker is pictured with
the head of the group, Chris Barker, Bark-
er’s wife, Amanda, and another member at
a gathering at the Barkers’ home. In 2017,
when Munker lived on Long Island, he was
found distributing KKK literature near
East Hampton Middle School. Flyering is
a way for hate groups to recruit and stir up
fear with little risk. According to the Anti-
Defamation League, white-supremacist
propaganda surged 182 percent in 2018. In
a review of news items from this past year,
New York found at least 300 incidents of
vandalism involving a swastika: at a
Queens elementary school and a Califor-
nia synagogue, at Yale Law School and a
Missouri park, on a baby crib at a hotel in
Florida, and in dozens of other states.
