My Roots and Personal Path
I am Rachel Pendergraft. I serve as spokeswoman and national officer for the Knights Party. This group once operated as the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. My work centers on full time volunteer efforts that support white Christian families. I grew up immersed in this world. Early exposure to family traditions shaped me. By age 12 I already opposed the Equal Rights Amendment and the notion of women registering for selective service. Those stands marked the start of my public voice.
I live on twenty wooded acres in Harrison, Arkansas. My three bedroom cottage sits beside a small creek. Each morning I sip coffee on the porch. The water flows steady and clear. It mirrors the enduring strength of our values amid shifting times. I prefer country roots yet welcome occasional travel. For over twenty years I have shared life with a wonderful small business owner. We built our home on faith and hard work. I write articles on political and religious topics. I speak on the challenges facing traditional families. One book I authored guides homeschooling for families who share our outlook. It appeared through The Barnes Review. I have addressed crowds in Washington, D.C. There I highlighted the decline of the Christian family structure. My path feels like a river carving through rock. It deepens with every year.
My Family: Each Member Introduced Exhaustively
My life revolves around family. I introduce each member with our defining traits.
My father, Thom Robb or Thomas Arthur Robb, was born in Detroit, Michigan, on October 13, 1946. He is Knights Party National Director from 1989. He promotes our history through The Crusader magazine, radio, and the internet as a Christian Identity preacher. Originally from Tucson, Arizona, he studied in Colorado. I co-host This Is the Klan with him. Near Zinc and Harrison, Arkansas, is our family headquarters. His group was established on mail-in memberships and white Christian gatherings. His advice illuminates our path.
My calm anchor is my hubby. He supports our cause without seeking attention as a small business owner for over two decades. His relatives are US-wide. They include police, teachers, lawyers, and clergy. Connections to Kentucky. Together, we built a rural home. Over twenty years married, we’re together. It endures all storms.
Since 1993, my daughter Shelby Pendergraft existed. She shined at 16 in 2009. She created Heritage Connection with her siblings while homeschooled. Naturally talented, she plays guitar, violin, piano, and drums. In 2010, the band released Aryan Awakening, Standing Our Ground, and Rise to the Challenge. Shelby played in youth festivals and Knights Party. Her family records show her playing music, camping on the White River, attending church, and volunteering at headquarters. She became an adult in 2012. Her route brought us a great son-in-law and a lovely new grandchild. Her music promotes white pride, anti-immigration, and culture. It raises youthful hearts like a flag.
I had Charity Pendergraft circa 1991. In 2009, she led Heritage Connection as lead vocalist and songwriter at 18. Her original lyrics addressed race mixing, immigration, and government overreach in Alien Flood, Propagandized America, and Living Nightmare. The sisters presented twice daily sets and workshops at the 2009 Knights Party National Leadership Conference and Indiana youth convention. Charity took music lessons early. She attended family shopping, festivals, and movie nights to discuss current events. Her 2009 marriage to Freeland Roy Dunscombe is recorded. Her words and voice boosted outreach. They summon us to recollect ourselves.
Around 2000, my son Andrew Pendergraft arrived. He hosted The Andrew Show on White Pride TV in 2010 at nine or ten. From 2009 to 2011, I created those episodes. He quickly picked up fiddle and violin. His trio band membership was planned. He appears in family photos from camping, church, and other events. His youth revitalizes our action.
Also, we love grandchildren. We got one about 2012. That arrival gave our home hope and continued our family line.
My Career, Achievements, and Financial Landscape
My Knights Party career is volunteer-driven. As media spokesperson, I work full-time. I co-host internet radio and TV. I created White Pride TV’s children’s show The Andrew Show from 2009 to 2011. Beginning in 2003, I managed Heritage Connection with my daughters. At conferences and festivals, we organized live concerts, CD sales, autographed pictures, and T-shirts. I led youth seminars, family activities, and protests. In 2017, Harrison, Arkansas, saw a major event. I wrote gun rights, pro-life, and cultural preservation essays and news releases. Key accomplishments include my homeschooling book. It provides practical advice for like-minded families.
By choice, financial information is private. No public income or asset figures exist. Our events are self-funded and volunteer-supported. My husband’s modest business supports us. We judge success by impact, not money. Three band CDs and dozens of event performances show decades of dedication. This method requires dedication but pays off.
My Recent Activities and Public Mentions
Visibility stays focused within our circles. In January 2026 I authored The Culture War For Generation Z Part 3 on the official Knights Party site. Press releases continue into April 2026. Earlier coverage from 2010 reached international outlets and highlighted our family media projects. A 2017 report noted my involvement in the Harrison protest.
On social media I maintain an X account at rachelpen. The profile lists me as wife, mother, and spokeswoman for The Knights Party. It holds 327 followers. Activity remains limited. Other platforms show people with my name in unrelated fields such as therapy or design. My presence centers on organizational work rather than personal updates.

FAQ
What role do I play in the Knights Party?
I serve as full time spokeswoman and national officer. Daily tasks include co hosting shows, writing press materials, and organizing events. My father Thomas Robb directs the group since 1989. I support by producing content that reaches families across the country. This position lets me address issues like cultural preservation directly through radio, articles, and public appearances. Over the years my efforts helped expand youth programs and media outreach. The work feels vital, especially in 2026 when challenges to our values continue.
How did my daughters shape family activism through music?
Shelby and Charity formed Heritage Connection around 2003. They wrote songs and performed at Knights Party conferences starting in 2009. Charity created lyrics on immigration and heritage themes while Shelby mastered multiple instruments. Their three CDs reached audiences at festivals and youth meetings. Those performances doubled as workshops that taught values to the next generation. Music became our tool for connection. It turned family practice sessions into powerful statements that still resonate today.
Why does homeschooling matter so much in our household?
I homeschooled all three children to match our beliefs and protect them from outside influences. The approach began in the early 1990s with Charity and continued through Andrew. My book lays out steps for similar families. It covers curriculum choices, daily routines, and integration of faith. Homeschooling freed us to emphasize white Christian heritage without compromise. Results show in the confident, talented adults my children became. Even now the lessons guide how we raise grandchildren.
What inspired my trips to Washington, D.C.?
I first spoke there as a young activist. At age 12 I opposed policies that threatened traditional roles. Later visits focused on the decline of Christian families. I highlighted threats from laws and cultural shifts. Those moments strengthened my resolve. They reminded me that one voice, backed by family support, can carry far. The experiences shaped my writing and public stands for decades afterward.
What does daily life look like on our twenty acres?
Mornings start with coffee on the porch overlooking the creek. Chores, music practice, and volunteering at headquarters fill the hours. We share church services and camping trips that build bonds. In 2026 the routine includes article writing and show production. Three children once filled the cottage with energy. Now grandchildren add new laughter. The land provides space to live simply while our mission grows. It keeps us grounded no matter the season.
