Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead
About Me
- Frank Meeink
- The Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead is Frank's raw telling of his descent into America’s Nazi underground and his ultimate triumph over hatred and addiction. The live lecture of Frank ’s downfall and redemption has the power to open hearts and change lives. Frank’s violent childhood in South Philadelphia primed him to hate. He made easy prey for a small group of skinhead gang recruiters led by his older cousin. At fourteen, he shaved his head. By sixteen, Frank was a skinhead gang leader on the East Coast. By eighteen, he was doing hard time in an Illinois prison. Behind bars, Frank began to question his hatred, thanks in large part to his African-American teammates on a prison football league. Shortly after being paroled, Frank 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.
