There was one time about 1986 I saw a cross and it was scary. I was driving into Chapel Hill, NC about 10:00 at night. I was to pick up a bicycle I had ordered from Performance Bikes. After you get off I-95 it's just 2 lane country roads until you get to town. Just a couple of miles before Chapel Hill, home to a huge university, I saw about a 10' tall burning cross. I didn't slow down to take a good look. I caught the news that night on TV and it was the KKK having some fun. It was scary to me, I hate to think what a black person felt like.
