The Nizkor Project: Remembering the Holocaust (Shoah)

Beyond the Bombing:
North Carolina


The Alamance Minutemen is a small and secretive militia group whose communications appear to be conducted largely through the "Spirit of '76" computer bulletin board, operated by the group's leader, Jeff Rudd of Alamance County.

Another organization, Citizens for the Reinstatement of Constitutional Government, meets in the towns of Monroe and Matthews, both near Charlotte. While it once promoted militia-style themes, it now claims to engage only in Bible study. Indications are that the group's one-time leader, Al Esposito (see Armed & Dangerous), may no longer be active in that role.
