Residents of historic Black community near Cincinnati confront White supremacist demonstrators, months after neo-Nazi march

A group of demonstrators wearing black clothing, some holding Nazi flags with swastikas, quickly left a Cincinnati-area overpass when they were confronted by residents Friday, video shows.

Local residents confronted and drove off neo-Nazi demonstrators waving large swastika-emblazoned flags along a highway overpass on Friday in Evendale, Ohio, home to a historically Black community that has endured a long history of racism. White nationalist groups in Ohio have recently grown increasingly brazen in expressing hateful rhetoric and racist ideologies. Last November, Hate Club, a newly formed White supremacist organization, paraded through a Columbus neighborhood, waving swastika flags and shouting racist slurs. About a dozen neo-Nazis, wearing all black clothing and red face masks the marchers in Columbus also wore, were seen on traffic cameras waving the swastika flags. They had also pinned red swastika banners on the fence of the overpass and a sign reading “America for the White Man,” according to photos shared with CNN. Swastikas are a notorious symbol of hate, antisemitism and White supremacy tracing to the murderous legacy of Germany’s Nazi Party and the Holocaust. In footage documented by CNN affiliate WLWT, people can be seen walking up to the demonstrators as police officers stood in between them. Moments within confronting them, the neo-Nazis quickly backed up, jumped into a U-Haul box truck and left the scene. Law enforcement officials at the scene can also be seen ushering the demonstrators into the U-Haul truck and waving at them to go.
