The Redneck Shop was a white nationalist and neo-Nazi clothing store and meeting hub in Laurens, South Carolina, which sold T-shirts, bumper stickers, and Ku Klux Klan robes, among other things.
It was decorated with posters of President Warren G. Harding, whom some allege was a Klan member, though many historians refute this.
[1][2] In 1996, a white man from West Columbia, South Carolina, drove his van into the Redneck Shop as a protest against the store's racism.
David Kennedy, said that he later told the man that, while he obviously did not agree with store owner John Howard's views, he did not feel that violence was an appropriate response.
[5][7] In addition to selling merchandise, the Redneck Shop had also been used as a meeting place for white supremacists; in 2006, it was the headquarters for the Aryan Nations' World Congress.
