Controversial ‘White Advocates’ Group Holds Conference in Middle Tennessee
WSMV (Nashville), March 16, 2012
A Middle Tennessee state park is hosting a conference this weekend that’s sure to pique interest and may inflame some tempers.
It’s called the “American Renaissance” conference, connected to the magazine of the same name. Those taking part call themselves, “white advocates,” others say they’re downright racist.
The group calls it an academic conference where professors, activists, and writers will discuss controversial topics like race and intelligence even racial brain shape.
We talked with the editor of American Renaissance on Friday at the first day of his conference in Dickson County. He says their message is misunderstood.
