Shortly after being paroled, Frank Meeink defected from the white supremacy movement. The Oklahoma City bombing inspired him to try to stop the hatred he once had felt. He began speaking on behalf of the Anti-Defamation League and appeared on MTV and other national networks in his efforts to stop the hate.
Meeink currently works as director of fan development for the Iowa Chops hockey team. He is the founder of the Hockey for Harmony Foundation, which encourages youth of all races to play hockey. Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is his first book.
