Combining stunning insights into the origins of white supremacist ideology with the candor and insider's perspective of someone who once evangelized them, WHITE AMERICAN YOUTH: My Descent into America's Most Violent Hate Movement—and How I Got Out is the memoir of white supremacist turned anti-hate activist Christian Picciolini, telling the full story of how he lost himself in the white-supremacist movement as a teenager looking for acceptance in the wrong places, rose to the top of one of the most violent hate groups in America, and with the help of his friends, family, and unsuspecting strangers eventually found the path away from hatred and now works to help other white supremacists follow suit.
Christian Picciolini joins us for an intimate story-telling session, discussion, and book signing.
