The persistent problem of hate crimes by white supremacist groups appears to be getting worse, not better. This should be a cause of concern for all law abiding citizens and people of goodwill. That’s why a new book extensively examining the issue is a must read: When Hate Groups March Down Main Street: Engaging a Community Response (Rowman & Littlefield). Co-authors Deborah J. Levine and Marc Brenman present a disturbingly vivid account of the historical evolution of hate groups and their radical racist ideology. The book includes key statistics, case studies, legal and anecdotal evidence, as well as practical leadership lessons for a new generation of young people and people of all ages. This is a critically important book at a critically important time. The authors also provide smart citizen engagement strategies for communities to embrace.
