Christian Picciolini: Breaking Hate

At 16, he was the leader of one of the first neo-Nazi skinhead gangs in the country. But he found redemption and formed the Free Radicals Project to help people leave hate behind. Christian Picciolini talks to Dr. Alan Campbell about his life as a violent racist, and his journey back.
Picciolini's memoir Romantic Violence: Memoirs of an American Skinhead details his time as a leader of the white power movement. His latest book, Breaking Hate: Confronting the New Culture of Extremism, was released on February 25, 2020.
