"Dynamite Nashville" Book Reveals KKK Behind Unsolved Civil Rights-Era Attacks, Prompts New Probe
by webdev@democracynow.org (Democracy Now!) from Democracy Now! on (#6QFD9)
Historian and journalist Betsy Phillips discusses her new book, Dynamite Nashville: Unmasking the FBI, the KKK, and the Bombers Beyond Their Control, which chronicles three bombings in 1957, 1958 and 1960 aimed at supporters of the civil rights movement in Nashville. The book has sparked a reopening of the formerly cold cases, the likely perpetrators of which Phillips names in her book. Phillips details what she uncovered through her research about the connections between the white supremacist terror campaign of the previous century and ongoing neo-Nazi activity in Nashville and the U.S. today.
