During late July through late August, 1974, the ambulance ran without funds, and for a period of two weeks in August and September, 1974, the ambulance was parked due to lack:j of funds and lack of personnel to operate it. Community support for the Ambulance Program has dwindled in the recent past, and Party members are beginning to doubt -| whether or not the Ambulance Program might be continued. — Poss The North Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (NCKKKK) heard that the BPP in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was having difficulty with its drive to raise funds for an ambulance service. An article appeared in a North Carolina newspaper alleging that “The Klan" was interested in assisting the BPP in its drive. Two KKK members went to BPP Headquarters in Winston-Salem to determine what it was all about on September 15, 1974. They conversed with a BPP member at the BPP Headquarters and were advised that the local Titan of the United Klans of America, Incorporated, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan {(UKA), had made the offer since it was the UKA's desire to assist the BPP to keep the Ambulance Service segregated. Additionally, these two KKK members visited The Winston-Salem Evening Twin Sentinel, a local newspaper in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and were advised that the local Titan of the UKA had directed a letter to that newspaper, denying support of the BPP campaign. Characterizations of the North Carolina Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (NCKKKK) and the United Klans of America, Incorporated, Knights of the Ku Klux Klan (UKA) are attached as appendices to this report.
