Donald Black is an interesting figure in the history of the racist/hate movement. When Duke left the Klan around 1980 to form the National Association for the Advancement of White People (NAAWP), Black took over as Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He was unsuccessful in sustaining the “respectable” image initiated by Duke. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Klanwatch Project, about a year after Black assumed control of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan he was arrested along with other Klansmen and neo-Nazis for attempting to overthrow the government of Dominica.
