Found in	Torch (Bass, Ark.), Vol. 10, no. 4 (October 1979): page 2 (editor: Thom Arthur Robb) Southern Poverty Law Center website, viewed September 15, 2014: Thomas Robb page (Thomas Robb, b. 1946, is an Arkansas-based Christian Identity pastor and head of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, which he took over in the 1980s after the departure of David Duke. Born in Detroit, was raised in Tucson, Ariz., before attending college in Colorado. He is the pastor of the Christian Revival Center in Bergman, Ark., where he espouses the racist and anti-Semitic Christian Identity theology. With the departure of longtime Klan leader David Duke in the 1980s, Robb took over leadership of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Much like Duke, Robb favored a more “mainstream” approach to managing the Klan. Rather than the traditional title of “Imperial Wizard,” Robb opted for the less-charged “National Director.” Robb has since renamed the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan as “the Knights Party” in a further attempt to move the group closer to the mainstream.)
