PELHAM, N.C. (KABC) -- One of the largest Ku Klux Klan groups in America plans to celebrate Donald Trump's election with a parade next month.

The Loyal White Knights of Pelham, North Carolina, says the parade will take place on Dec. 3.

The group has not announced a time or location, but it did post this message on its website: "TRUMP = TRUMP'S RACE UNITED MY PEOPLE."

The Anti-Defamation League says the group has between 150 and 200 members and is perhaps the most active KKK group in the U.S.

Several Klan groups endorsed Trump. The president-elect was criticized for not denouncing the groups soon enough.
