WEST LAFAYETTE — A white supremacist group is taking responsibility for posting promotional fliers around the Purdue University campus on Sunday.
The group, Identity Evropa, on Monday tweeted photos of posters bearing its name plastered across campus. The fliers were put up Sunday afternoon and evening, according to the tweet.
Identity Evropa is a white supremacist group, largely made up of young adults, that focuses on the preservation of white American culture and white European identity, according to the Anti-Defamation League. It's identified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Its slogan, "You will not replace us," was the primary chant of tiki-torch wielding ralliers at the University of Virginia on the eve of the Aug. 12 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville.
