Introduction

The Anti-Defamation League, in partnership with NextGen San Diego, cordially invites you to participate in an event that is sure to be an eye-opening and fascinating descent into the skinhead underworld.


Our featured speaker for the evening will be Frank Meeink, who is widely considered to be the inspiration for the film "American History X". Mr. 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 ultimately dragged himself out of that destructive lifestyle to become the inspiration that he is today.

Additionally, participants will be treated to an insider's briefing on San Diego's White Power movement by retired gang detective Ellen Vest of the San Diego County Sheriffs Department. Detective Vest has decades of experience dealing with San Diego's gangs and especially with its white power hate groups.

To those of you that purchase VIP group tickets, you will have the opportunity to join Mr. Meeink and Detective Vest at a private reception after the presentation.
