Across America, there are examples of towns and cities that have not only united but also created a movement to stand up against hate--like Billings, Montana; Springfield, Illinois; and Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Clarksburg, West Virginia, provides another unique story with lessons to be learned from its response to the Ku Klux Klan. Steps Toward an Inclusive Community is a case study of how Clarksburg, a moderately sized community in West Virginia, responded to a KKK rally by conducting a counter-rally, the Get Real Rally, which in turn led to the Clarksburg Unity Project.

This publication shares Clarksburg's response to hate in the context of the state's and community's history and the town's current state of race relations, an effort to which a local newspaper's editorial board responded,  "If we hope to prosper economically, Clarksburg must show the nation that its people are unified and that this is a great place to live because of it."
