Book & Author: “The Klansman’s Son”

Raised to take over the white nationalist movement in the United States, R. Derek Black has released a memoir, The Klansman’s Son, detailing a childhood manipulated by fear, their break from a community of hate, embracing anti-racism, and coming out as transgender. Raised in a world of hate and fear by a former Ku Klux Klan leader, Derek’s life changed when they renounced white nationalism publicly in 2013. Few understand the ideology, motivations, or tactics of the white nationalist movement like Derek – and few have ever made such a profound evolution.

Don’t miss this fascinating story to gain insight into the complexities of personal change and explore how understanding can combat extremism. Black will be available to answer questions and sign copies of The Klansman’s Son following the program.
