Stephen Donald "Don" Black〔("UK 'least wanted' list published" ), ''BBC News'', 2009-05-05. Retrieved on 2009-05-06.〕 (born July 28, 1953) is an American white nationalist and white supremacist. He is the founder, and current webmaster, of the Stormfront internet forum.〔Sources which consider Stormfront a white supremacist website are: * ''New Times'' Feb. 19-25, 1998 article ("The Racist Next Door" ) (archived on stormfront.org) * * * * * * * 〕 He was a Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan and a member of the American Nazi Party in the 1970s.〔''New Times'' Feb. 19-25, 1998 article ("The Racist Next Door" )〕〔at the time he was a member it was known as the 'National Socialist White Peoples' Party' Bridges, Tyler ''The Rise of David Duke'' University Press of Mississippi (Sep 1995) ISBN 978-0-87805-684-2 p.40 ()〕 He was convicted in 1981 for an attempted armed overthrow of the government in the island of Dominica in violation of the U.S. Neutrality Act. == Early life == Stephen Donald Black was born in Athens, Alabama, and became an activist at an early age when he began passing out racist newspapers ''White Power'' and the ''Thunderbolt'' at his high school. This led to a decision by the local school board to ban the distribution of political literature. Black countered by mailing literature to student addresses obtained from school handbooks. He said in an interview that growing up in the South during the turmoil of the civil rights movement made him aware from a "White" political perspective.〔(White supremacist former KKK leader spreads views on net )〕 In the summer of 1970, after his junior year at Athens High School, Black traveled to Savannah, Georgia, to work on the gubernatorial campaign of J.B. Stoner, a segregationist and leader of the National States' Rights Party (NSRP). It was in this election that Jimmy Carter won the Georgia governorship. Don Black was asked to obtain a copy of the NSRP membership list by Robert Lloyd, a leader of the National Socialist White People's Party, formerly known as the American Nazi Party.〔H. Michael Barrett ("The 1970 Split In The NSWPP: A First Hand Account" )〕 At the time, Black was a member of the Party's youth branch, the National Socialist Youth Movement. Also working on the Stoner campaign was Jerry Ray, brother of Martin Luther King's assassin James Earl Ray. On July 25, 1970, Jerry Ray shot Black (who was 16 at the time) in the chest with a .38-caliber hollow-point bullet to stop him from taking files from Stoner's campaign office. Ray was acquitted of all charges, saying he shot in self-defense after Black reached for what appeared to be a weapon.〔"Jerry Ray Acquitted," ''The Times-News'', Nov 25, 1970〕〔"Earl Ray's Kin Acquitted On Assault Charge," Press-Courier, Nov 27, 1970〕 Black finished his senior year at Madison Academy (Alabama), a private school in Huntsville. Then after high school, Black graduated from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in 1975. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Black (white nationalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
