Description: "08/10/1980: Three fires in the shapes of crosses were set on lawns of three homes in Red Deer, Alberta. The homes belonged to a Japanese family, an East Indian family from Tanzania and an East Indian family from England. One home was the scene of a cross burning last year, although police believed that teenagers who are unaffiliated with the Ku Klux Klan were responsible. On 08/2/1980 the head of the Alberta KKK announced that it was considering beginning its own investigations into lawn burnings in Red Deer."
