Growing up, Derek Black was raised to take over the white nationalist movement, Stormfront.
Derek's father, Don Black, was a former Grand Wizard in the KKK and started Stormfront
while Derek built the kids' page. Growing up in this environment, racism and hatred
was all Derek knew.
Attending a Shabbat service in college set Derek on a course to publicly renounce
white nationalism and apologize for past actions. Listen and learn as Black traces
a uniquely insider account of the rise of white nationalism, and how a child indoctrinated
with hate can become an anti-racist, trans woman, commited to combatting antisemitism.
THIS PROGRAM IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
A limited number of books will be available for purchase.
