LAURENS, S.C. — The Redneck Shop has won permission to keep selling Confederate and Ku Klux Klan memorabilia on the town square.
The City Council voted, 6 to 1, on Tuesday to grant a business license to the store, which has sold klan books, T-shirts and robes. Photographs on display included one of a black man with a KKK brand.
Ministers and community leaders have organized protests, and in July a white man angered by the store drove a van into the front window, destroying counters and displays.
