From Wikipedia on the city of Howell, Michigan:

Reputation

For many decades, Howell has had the reputation of being associated with the Ku Klux Klan due to White Supremacist leader and Michigan Grand Dragon Robert E. Miles, who held KKK gatherings on his farm, located 12 miles north of the city with a Howell address.[12] Miles died in 1992. However, these gatherings, including the burning of crosses, continued.[13] The reputation has persisted into the 2000s, with events such as a public auction of KKK items scheduled for Martin Luther King Jr's birthday in 2005,[14] the 2010 suspension of a teacher who removed students for wearing a confederate flag and making anti-gay slurs,[15] and the high school basketball team's racist tweets toward a racially mixed team in 2014.[16] The Livingston Diversity Council, which was founded in response to a 1988 cross-burning on the lawn of a black family,[17] promotes diversity and inclusion in county.[18] While quite numerous in Metro Detroit, Howell is currently not listed as having an active home to any hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[19]
