A former Ku Klux Klan museum and meeting place which was sold by a repentant racist to a black minister is finally being transformed into a place of hope as its hateful past is put behind it .
For more than 15 years the South Carolina store sold robes and hosted meetings for white supremacists - including supporters of the American Nazi party .
It also sold Confederate memorabilia to sick collectors and was a hub for the KKK , which is responsible for more than 100 years of racist violence and killings .
Now the new owner is fundraising @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a community centre which celebrates diversity .
Kindhearted Reverend David Kennedy brought a share in the shop from former Klansman Michael Burden Jr - and after a long legal battle ownership was finally passed to the The New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church .

For more than 15 years the store in Laurens, South Carolina, sold Confederate memorabilia to sick collectors and was a meeting place for the KKK and the American Nazi party
Ku Klux Klan museum sold to black minister by repentant racist to become 'beacon of hope'
A former Ku Klux Klan museum and meeting place which was sold by a repentant racist to a black minister is finally being transformed into a place of hope as its hateful past is put behind it.
For more than 15 years the South Carolina store sold robes and hosted meetings for white supremacists - including supporters of the American Nazi party.
It also sold Confederate memorabilia to sick collectors and was a hub for the KKK, which is responsible for more than 100 years of racist violence and killings.
Now the new owner is fundraising to turn the building in Laurens into a community centre which celebrates diversity.

In return the ex-Ku Klux Klan member offered the minister the chance to buy a share of the Redneck Store, which finally closed in 2012, having opened in 1996.

thedailymirror--2020-06-13--Southgate believes black coach can become England manager with help of the FA

Gareth Sothgate believes the FA can provide a pathway for a BAME coach to become England manager .
With the 'Black Lives Matter ' campaign prompting Raheem Sterling to voice his frustrations about the lack of diversity in top managerial roles in the game , Southgate has admitted that the traditional route to becoming boss of the national team remains closed off for black and ethnic minority candidates .
But Southgate himself was groomed to take charge of England by the FA after a two-and-a-half-year stint in charge of Middlesbrough ended with the sack .
And the England boss says @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taking the lead if Premier League and Football League clubs fail to address the failings in their recruitment policies .
Southgate said : “ There is no doubt that the roles of a Premier League manager and the England manager are aligned because if you 've not gained experience in the Premier League then it 's going to be very difficult .
“ You can come through the development teams like I did .
But at the moment , one tends to lead to the other .
“ I think it 's possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ England manager ) – but what is most important is that black coaches feel it 's possible .
“ There is nothing worse for me than hearing someone like Jermain Defoe questioning whether it is worth him taking his coaching qualifications .
“ That , for me , is the biggest crime of all if someone feels there is a ceiling to what they can achieve in life .
“ That 's not a country we want to be proud of .
“ We need people like Jermain and people in the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to think it 's worthwhile .
“ If we feel they have got the potential to be coaches , if it 's what they want to do , if they have a real desire and passion to do it , then we 've got to make it achievable .
“ I 've been on calls with Ashley Cole where he has said it is what he wants to head .
“ Removing that ceiling for ethnic minority groups is one of the biggest challenges we face , not just in football , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affect football – so that 's our responsibility.
” Southgate , 49 , became England Under-21 boss almost four years after leaving Boro .
Since succeeding Sam Allardyce in the top job in 2016 he has developed into an impressive leader who commands the respect of his squad .
In April he agreed to take a 30 percent cut in his £3million-a-year wages to help the FA deal with the financial ramifications of the coronavirus crisis .
Southgate said : “ It was a decision made in two parts .
“ Firstly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ part of my job at the moment – that ’ s clear .
“ The second part is we are different to a club .
I would be the highest earner and when the organisation is in financial difficulty and furloughing people , then it did n't feel right to me that I wasn ’ t contributing to the bigger picture .
“ For me it is straightforward leadership .
Something that I just felt strongly about .
“ We have a lot of people who do brilliant work in different areas of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fortunate to earn what I earn .
“ I just felt it was important to play a part .
I didn ’ t particularly want that to be public - but pretty much everything of that nature becomes public .

ITV has made huge changes to their soap studios to ensure the safety of their cast and crew, amid the coronavirus pandemic
Emmerdale cast and crew are beginning to return to work, following filming being halted in March due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Soaps like Emmerdale and other TV shows were forced to stop filming, and studios remained empty as ITV bosses put together a plan to get people back to work safely.
With strict new social distancing guidelines in place to help stop the spread of Covid-19, Emmerdale were the first soap to return to filming recently - with six special lockdown episodes filmed.
The episodes were filmed over two weeks with just two or three cast members there at a time, and limited crew members.
Cast members had little rehearsal time on location, with it said each episode was filmed in one day.
Those in the episodes, and those not, all had to take part in inductions on their return to set, with many more cast members returning this week and next week.

Many have taken to Twitter to share their excitement, while some cast have appeared on televised interviews to discuss the new guidelines they must follow.
As well as separated sets, with cast only allowed to be in studios they are assigned to, the hope is to keep limited crews and actors in different spaces.
A number of rules including separate props and two metre distances at all times have also been introduced, to ensure everyone is safe.

Sam Dingle actor James Hooton, who was one of the first back on set and also featured in the first lockdown episode, has taken to Twitter to praise ITV and Emmerdale for their efforts.
He revealed he was now back to work following his induction on Thursday, and said he and the crew felt "safe" thanks to the measures taken at the studio.
He tweeted: "Just been for my cast members inductions @emmerdale for our new working practices whilst filming.

"The level of detail and thought put into making our crews feel safe in the workplace is exemplary!
"I hope they aren't this stringent for long but I applaud @itv and their efforts!"
He added the following day, as filming got underway: "I love my job! SO pleased to be back working," with co-star Karen Blick telling him: "Same! See ya Monday."
