A small number of Mississippi White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan members staged a short protest prior to a football game between Louisiana State University and the University of Mississippi over the decision to stop playing the song 'Dixie'.
Previously at games a group of fans had chanted "the South will rise again" at the conclusion of the song. The fans were asked to stop but they didn't so Chancellor Dan Jones had the band drop the song from the play list.
During the protest the Klansmen waved flags and made Nazi salutes. The protest was outnumbered about twenty to one by hecklers ranging in age from adults down to young children.
