Andy Kim | Congressman
Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw invites the public to attend a forum on Friday, December 9, 2022 where the BCPO will unveil a new initiative aimed at reducing bias and hate crimes in Burlington County. The event – dubbed “Responding to Hate with Hope” – will feature former white supremacist Frank Meeink as the keynote speaker, as well as remarks by Congressman Andy Kim of New Jersey’s 3rd District. Meeink, a Philadelphia native, abandoned the neo-Nazi movement after befriending African-American prisoners while serving time for a violent attack.
His memoir, Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead, details that transformation, along with efforts he has since made to prevent others from joining hate groups. The movie American History X is loosely based on Meeink’s experiences.
The forum will be held at the main location of the Burlington County Library System, 5 Pioneer Drive, Westampton, NJ 08060. Check-in is from 3:30 pm – 4 pm. The event will begin at 4 pm and should be finished by 6 pm. A reception with refreshments will follow. Please RSVP by December 5.
