The Anti-Defamation League, in partnership with NextGen San Diego, presents Frank Meeink, widely considered to be the inspiration for the film American History X.
Meeink will take participants through his life story and shed light onto how young people get drawn into white-supremacist hate groups, what their culture and beliefs encompass, and how he dragged himself out of that destructive lifestyle.
Additionally, an insider's briefing on San Diego's White Power movement by retired gang detective Ellen Vest of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. Detective Vest has decades of experience dealing with San Diego's gangs and especially its white-power hate groups. Info: [email protected] or 858-565-6896.
