I remember being at Camp Chaffee Arkansas and being out to get Pizza near the Oklahoma border/bridge. A black Corporal on my team said Sergeant Burke, if you drive toward that bridge, I’m going to jump out the window. The other side of that bridge is Moffit, Oklahoma, the town where the Klan never died. That was 52 years ago in ‘72.
The area south of 62 was known as KKK until even the 80’s
One previous poster use to always insist that Moffitt was off limits for all military personnel from Camp Chaffee. Downtown Moffit is mostly one huge automobile graveyard used part demolition yard. The stockyard is still in the same place near the Okla. bridge crossing. With one exception on Garrison Ave. in Fort Smith, the Justice Parker effect was mostly beneficial locally—not so much in South Sebastian County and across the Arkansas River South of Van Buren.
