A Black man who had taken control of one the largest neo-Nazi organizations, with hopes to dismantle it, has died.
James Stern passed away on October 11 at his home in California after being placed in hospice care for cancer, reports NBC. Stern, 55, served as the director and president of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), one of the hate groups involved in the 2017 attack in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Stern’s attorney, Bob Ross commended his “quiet confidence.”
“James was a very unconventional crusader,” Ross said.
Stern’s close friend, Arne Edward List said the pastor and activist took control of the hate group in order to change its platform.
“His vision, which we talked about many times, wasn’t to just take control of the website but to use it as a platform to re-educate racists about the truth of the Holocaust, the history of slavery,” List said.
