After a massive fire at a famous civil rights center, officials found a ‘white power’ symbol nearby
By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow April 2 at 10:53 PM After a fire burned down the main building of a storied civil rights center in Tennessee last week, the organization has said that a symbol associated with the white power movement was found in the parking lot next to the ashy rubble of the former building.
“While we do not know the names of the culprits, we know that the white power movement has been increasing and consolidating power across the South, across this nation, and globally,” it wrote. Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Coffey, who did not return a request for comment, told the Knoxville News Sentinel that the graffiti was a hashtag-like symbol discovered at the scene Friday.
In early 2018, the rock was painted with a series of hate symbols, including a grid-like symbol associated with the Romanian fascist organization that was lead by violent anti-Semite Corneliu Zelea Codreanu in the 1920s. Rosa Parks attended a two-week workshop at the center on school desegregation in 1955 just a few months before she sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which helped strike down segregation in public facilities in the South.

Facebook says it will now block white nationalist, white separatist postsFacebook on Wednesday said it would begin banning posts, photos and other content that reference white nationalism and white separatism, revising its rules in response to criticism that a loophole had allowed racism to thrive on its platform. Previously, Facebook only had prohibited users from sharing messages that glorified white supremacy -- a rhetorical discrepancy, in the eyes of civil-rights advocates, who argued that white nationalism, supremacy and separatism are indistinguishable and that the policy undermined the tech giant's stepped-up efforts to combat hate speech online.
