The Roar Group in Charlestown, N.C.

The Roar Group in Charlestown called itself powder keg. Peg Smith was part of that group and was anti-violence. Her son had come out of Charleston High one day with blood pouring from his nose. She blamed cowardly adults who were pushing the kids to fight and riot. Another powder keg leader, Tom Johnson, wrote quote, I'm not scared to throw a punch at someone who's throwing a punch at me.
