     I was curious about that too. This article has photos, says crowds were “significant” but no estimates yet. I dunno, for the money that was spent it doesn’t look like it amounted to much. Kind of a large Klan rally.

   More self aggrandizing navel gazing that boils down to "but why can't non-white people just shut up". The history you reference can't possibly be netted down to a simplistic column that reads like yet another pity party for the decreasing influence of white men.
