The KKK was one of the most prominent activist groups back in the 80s. Taken over by Tom Rob in 1989, their hand extended over the politics and economics of the states. Often labeled as the most racist group to ever exist in the US, they had quite an influence.
Jidion, who you might know as JiGong, a comedian and YouTuber had a chance to visit the town of Zinc in Arkansas. As the name suggests, the people liked to keep everything silvery back in the days. So, don’t be surprised to find Zinc Arkansas if you google the most racist town in America.
Thomas Robb was also an integral part and a leader who submerged the hate of color and antisemitism into politics. He led “The Knights Party” as a pastor. They even had their ways with journalism. Back in 2016, an article from The Crusader endorsed Donald Trump for president and it caused quite a stir.
Where Is Tom Robb Now? Is Ku Klux Klan Still Around?
Tom Robb was not much of a loved figure back in the days. Surely, he might have had a fair share of followers but it was never about a town but the direction US was heading into. And, he knew he was not even a cog in the wheel for that journey.
As America evolved and people started to fight for racial and social injustice, Thomas Robb’s words became nothing but a hopeless cult. Gradually losing his sway over the group, he is not much of the public and in the news figure today.
The KKK is still around and low-key. Tom also might be the preacher to their prayers but The Knights Party has been dissolved. They were active during the presidential election in 2016. They even wrote articles and campaigned in some local areas to endorse Trump. However, the former president never affiliated himself with the so-called white supremacist group.
The White Pride Radio Billboards are still up and you might find them only in Zinc Arkansas.
Tom Robb’s Son Jason Robb Chose Law Over Politics
Jason Robb was not much in the limelight when his father was preaching. Nonetheless, politics ran through the Robb blood. Jason Robb today is a lawyer who runs a Robb law firm in Arkansas.
Married with kids and family, Jason has made a beautiful life for himself. Whether he might be influenced by the dad’s opinions, he sure has never outed himself to be a supporter of the KKK. Figures as it might be bad for the business they say.

“Like Father Like Daughter” Rachel Pendergraft Is the Founder Of Heritage Connection
Tom also had a daughter, Rachel Pendergraft. Rachel unlike her brother Jason is an active part of what her family is trying to do in Arkansas. She followed in her father’s conferences, church sessions, and programs since childhood.
Eventually, she was the one to take over the family business. Rachel Pendergraft and her daughters Shelby and Charity formed Heritage Connection in 2009. The group is just another cult program preaching White Nationalism.
Fast forward to 2022, Pendergraft is still active in local politics.
