Lecture: Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead
Frank Meeink speaks about his descent into America's Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction. By age 16, Meeink was one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast. By 18, he was doing hard time in an Illinois prison, where he began to question his hatred, thanks in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league.
