After the Brown vs Board of Education ruling, which desegregated schools nationally, KKK activity saw a rise across the South. However, a KKK rally at Hayes Pond #OTD in 1958 was dispersed by hundreds of armed Lumbee tribal members, who had collaborated on intelligence gathering with Black community members. Today the Battle of Hayes Pond is a Lumbee holiday.
