White supremacists are emboldened, increasing their propaganda and intimidating journalists with threats and "swatting" attempts. But what does it actually take to confront these groups, and what knowledge can we gain from our country's history of anti-racist activism?
No Fascist USA!: The John Brown Anti-Klan Committee and Lessons for Today's Movements (City Lights, January 2020) by Hilary Moore and James Tracy traces the never-before-told history of a foundational anti-racist organization: the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee. The group was most active during the Reagan era when, like today, white supremacists felt that they had an ally in the White House.
The Committee is known for their courageous confrontations with neo-Nazis, as well as their fight to expose Klan members who took public office across the country. The book concludes with a thorough examination of their successes and failures, and offers lessons for today's social-justice movements.
