[RAP MUSIC PLAYING] ROCCO CASTORO: Two days before
the rally, I met back up with Dajuan Horton and his fellow
Grape Street Crips to see how the recruiting efforts
were going. DAJUAN HORTON: We're about to
go get up with some young fellas in the neighborhood,
catch them outside, just getting out of school. All of them, some
of them grown. Everybody been in a little
trouble, everybody do their own thing, so far as
getting money and what they're claiming. But I want them to come together
and show them that we don't have to kill each
other while you're getting your money. That's one for sure, that
you don't have to fear another black man. ROCCO CASTORO: They had gotten
as far as setting up a name for their new gang
mega alliance, which they called DUI-- Divine United International. As I rode with Dajuan on the
recruiting mission, I couldn't help but think that some people might find it confusing. You want to basically have these
guys all be under the banner of DUI? DAJUAN HORTON: Yeah, but it's
more of not a banner. I don't know. I don't know the terminology
I want to use. We're going to Hustletown. ROCCO CASTORO: Hustletown? DAJUAN HORTON: Yeah,
it's Hustletown. Yes, this place can
be very dangerous. I know a couple of people from
over here that've been shot. And it's not so much that it's
a poverty neighborhood, it's just that people in the
neighborhood are just us, you know? Hood people. And they're going to act
a certain way no matter where they are. Hello. Little Ed, you going to
come to the hood? Cool. We on the way now, nigga. Are you on the way now? All right, G. See, you know
we're over here east side. You see my boy no matter
where we is. It's east side over here. Come on, [INAUDIBLE]. Yeah, so man, we get this DUI
here, man, Divine United International. We're trying to stop
killing each other. How ya'll feeling about that? You know it says DUI, but it's
not DUI-- we're driving drunk or nothing, you know? We're to come together
so the more people, you know what I imean? Because imagine we had all them
connections, we would never have a problem. You get stranded somewhere,
you can call anybody. We're going to bring everybody
together, man. All the gangs and stuff like
that, we're going to bring all of it together. -Yeah, man. Positive, man. DAJUAN HORTON: The first event
we got is going to be Saturday at the KKK rally, and we going
to try to scoop everybody up and go down there just to show
them-- you know what I'm saying-- that we don't want
to hear none of that. East side, nigga. East Memphis was predominantly
white at first. It was real pretty. So they started moving black
people out here, and then it started looking a little
different. So east side is where
we hold it down. Eddie, my guy right here. Man, I want to tell
you about the DUI. Man, we're going to
come together. Everybody coming
together, man. Divine United International. We want college boys, gang
bangers, everything you can think of, you hear me? East side, nigga, [INAUDIBLE]. East side, east side, east side,
east side, east side, east side, east side, east
side, east side. Did you hear about the rally? -KKK rally downtown. DAJUAN HORTON: What do you feel
about people destroying Memphis, your home city? Racial war. -See how we can get together? We should be able to
do this anywhere. -Anywhere. -White person with tattoo,
black people with tattoo. Ain't even about the tattoos. It's about the color, man. We should be able to travel
without having to watch our backs. -This is a group hug to
the whole of Memphis. -You should be able to walk down
your own street without having to watch your back. ROCCO CASTORO: I managed to
arrange a last-minute, super secret meeting with a man who
would only refer to himself as Exalted Cyclops Edward, the same
man who had announced the Klan rally to the local media. He wasn't shy about giving
his opinions on race. White man and a black
woman just rolled by on a four wheeler. What do you feel about that? EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD:
That's disgusting. ROCCO CASTORO: Yeah? EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD: Stick
with your own race. ROCCO CASTORO: So I imagine
you are not so happy with our President? EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD:
No, not at all. Well, yeah, I'm very
happy with it. I've got to say, he has made
the Klan a lot stronger. That's the only thing
good he's done. I think this is going to be a
larger rally than they've seen here in Memphis. There's so much media involved
with it with the gang members and all of that, that
concerned it's going to be a huge riot. ROCCO CASTORO: When you go to
the rally, what are you going to say to people? What is your-- EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD: We're
not here for the black race, for the Mexican race. We're here because of the
changing of our parks. And that's it. You won't hear the
N-word coming out of anybody up there. Our imperial wizard's already
told everyone coming, do not use the N-word. We're here about our parks
being changed. And that's it. We're an organization that
tries to stand up for the white rights, and people are so scared to stand up together. And we're trying to tell
them come out. Quit being worried about it, and
let's stand together and take over, take back
what is ours. -Come here. -Stay out of the frame. -Come here. Come here. Come back. Come back. We've got to go. ROCCO CASTORO: OK. -[INAUDIBLE]. ROCCO CASTORO: See you, guys. So I don't know what happened. I don't know if they were
spooked by the four wheeler again, but something's
going on. I think we'd probably get
the fuck out of here. That's what my spider senses
are telling me. What happened? EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD: The
gal on the four wheeler-- ROCCO CASTORO: Yeah? EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD:
--questioning one of our guys up front. ROCCO CASTORO: OK. EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD: And then
three cops pulled in and followed the gal's four wheeler
in, so we didn't know what was going on. ROCCO CASTORO: Oh, wow. EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD:
He come by with a black girl on the back. They come back with a white
girl on the back. ROCCO CASTORO: Yeah. EXALTED CYCLOPS EDWARD: And i
noticed he had a police radio on the front of the
four wheeler. ROCCO CASTORO: Oh, OK. SCOTT SHEPHERD: Let me
tell you, they're hiding behind the mask. The dog and all this, that's
just part of them trying to put on a show. If they were who they would say
they were, the nonviolent, peaceful people, why are they
not right here in this park with their mask off talking
with you today? At one time, I was white
supremacist, I was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and I came to
a point in my life where I just changed. And that's where I am today. I'm a reformed racist and
trying to end racism. Let me tell you, the Klan does
not care one thing about the name of these parks. They do not care. The only reason they're here is
because they're using it as a tool and an excuse to come
here and cause trouble. I mean, they're coming
here to protest the renaming of a park. And if you look at it, they're
the reason that the park's being renamed. ROCCO CASTORO: Have you been
threatened at all leading up to this rally? SCOTT SHEPHERD: Oh yes, yes. -This is the Loyal White Knights
trying to call you. Are you just a crackhead who
can't afford to pay your bill and it just goes to
your voicemail? The Loyal White Knights
will set you straight. If you don't like the
rally, tough shit. SCOTT SHEPHERD: I can handle the
threats, I know I'm doing the right thing. I'm fighting for a cause that
is really important. So it is really no concern. [SINGING] ROCCO CASTORO: The night before
the rally, I attended a Unitarian Church service that
was called by over a dozen local pastors who had rallied
the respect of congregations to celebrate Memphis unity and
pray that the city would persevere regardless of the
outcome of the Klan rally. -You know what? When we heard about the rally
that's taking place tomorrow, [INAUDIBLE] said,
what do you do? And we felt prompted that we
should have a prayer rally. If there's going to be a Klan
rally, then we're going to have a prayer rally. [APPLAUSE] PASTOR MATT ANZIVINO: Man, it
can't be fixed politically. It can't be fixed financially. It can't be fixed
educationally. But when you face something as
big as what this city is facing tomorrow, we need
divine intervention. PASTOR DANIEL MOORE:
We curse division. We curse prejudice. We curse the ancient
ruins that attract and destroy a city. And we decree, and we declare
a thing today-- The Klan, what they're doing,
they don't represent Christianity. Certainly, they don't represent
really the vast majority of people. And we wanted-- I wanted my friends and my
neighbors who would be hurt by what's going on to know that
we're not afraid to stand with him and say we don't agree
with it, and it's wrong. ROCCO CASTORO: What concerns
do you have about what may happen tomorrow at the rally? PASTOR DANIEL MOORE: I'm
praying for rain. I'm praying that it'll--
