In Arkansas, white town is a black mark
Residents of Harrison try to fight their reputation as the small town with the most hate groups in America

It's impossible to have a conversation about race in the town of Harrison, Arkansas, without talking about the yellow billboard. Timothy Bella
Thomas Robb lives 15 miles from downtown Harrison, Arkansas, past churches with signs speaking of God’s righteousness, a goat farm and a slew of rusted trailer homes. His home is a collection of nondescript white cottages that includes an office and a meeting place for the Christian Revival Center, where he serves as pastor. The buildings stretch across several acres — but don’t call the property a compound.
“It’s my home, not a compound,” Robb says, correcting a reporter with a smile. “The word ‘compound’ has such a negative connotation.”
Robb and his wife moved to the area 43 years ago from Tucson, Arizona: “You could see the handwriting on the wall of Arizona being a dumping ground for illegal aliens.” The stronger morals of people in Arkansas, he says, made the state a more attractive home for his Thomas Robb Ministries and the Christian Revival Center, which espouse a white-supremacist, “Christian-identity” theology. For the last 25 years, he’s also been the national director of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the group founded by prominent Klan leader and former Louisiana politician David Duke. In that role, Robb has attempted to advance the white-nationalist movement by portraying the Klan, in the words of one journalist, as more “gentle, upbeat and friendly” — an approach that’s sometimes frowned upon by other Klan members for being too mainstream.
Despite living in the town of Zinc, population 104, Robb has his mailing address in Harrison. That’s become a point of contention for the Harrison Community Task Force on Race Relations, which is trying to turn around Harrison’s reputation as a racist community. While Harrison has been included in Norman Crampton’s 100 Best Small Towns in America in recent years, it also holds the unofficial title of America’s most hateful small town. In March, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a national nonprofit civil rights organization, released its hate map of the bases of 939 hate groups active in the United States last year. With its seven hate groups, ranging from Robb’s KKK to a racist music group (whose members include two of Robb’s granddaughters), Harrison was atop the list for small towns.
