Park Plaza, 13111 N. Central Expy., 3rd Flo or, Dallas, TX 75243
Mark Potok will explore the stunning expansion o f the American radical right and its historical context, including a close look at the 1920s, another period of social and economic ferment.
The
ideology of white supremacy has deep roots in American history and has bee
n part of our culture since the nation’s founding. But many Americans belie
ved that in the aftermath of World War II, racism, anti-Semitism and xenoph
obia had at least begun to die — that out of the ashes of Auschwitz, a bett
er nation, informed by the subsequent victories of the civil rights and fem
inist movements, would arise. Instead, Americans today find themselves in a
place where white nationalist ideas have returned to the very heart of the
political mainstream; where the president of the United States says withou
t shame that violent neo-Nazis chanting “Jews will not replace us” included
“some very fine people”; and where a United States congressman, Steve King
(R-Iowa), asks with incredulity, “White nationalist, white supremacist, We
stern civilization —
how did that language become offensive?”
As
we approach the 25th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, where 168 m
en, women and children were slaughtered by a man with white nationalist ide
as, the toll of white supremacist violence continues to escalate. The mass
murders of African-American churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., Jewish worship
pers in a Pittsburgh synagogue, and Latino shoppers at an El Paso Walmart,
are only a few recent examples. What brought us to this place? How is that
in an increasingly multicultural society, hate groups, hate crimes, and whi
te supremacist terrorism have become commonplace?
And what are t
he prospects for the future?
Mark P
otok for 20 years helped lead the Southern Poverty Law Center’s premier ope
ration monitoring the extreme right in the United States. Potok served as d
irector of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project and, later, Senior Fellow at SPL

e magazine,until 2017. In 2018, he joined the Centre for the Analysis of th
