White lives matter reporter the White Power Movement you will not replace us reporter hidden in the shadows for decades, now reemerging across the country. The danger now is that so many people feel more comfortable speaking in racist terms, who otherwise used to be under the rocks, in the crevices. Now theyre out. Reporter the actions of these groups, including their most violent fringe, can be traced back to playbooks decades old. A legacy of one of the most influential and dangerous still haunts these appalachian hollows. To be honest, i have an awful lot of stuff going through my mind that i think about, going up to this property. You know, my dad he gave up everything to go out there. And i know he believed in what he was doing. And, you know, he created this compound, but he was so misguided and so deluded. Reporter kelvin pierce grew up with a frontrow seat to hate. My father was dr. William luther pierce. Reporter William Luther pierce, dead for nearly two decades, is still considered among the nations most dangerous white supremacists. Many people call us racists, hate mongers. Its about hatred. Its about racism. Its about exclusion. Reporter one of the first and most famous leaders of the nations modern White Power Movement, William Pierce was the founder of a farreaching extremist group, the National Alliance. What worries me a lot is the unchecked tide of nonwhite immigration into this country, both legal and illegal. That is what is really breeding disaster. Reporter especially active in the 80s and 90s, the National Alliance attempted to bring white power propaganda to the masses. This whole movement was about becoming an enemy of the nation, to unseat the federal government, create civil disturbance, and for many people, its imagined as a way to provoke race war. Basically, to create a whiteonly homeland. Reporter kelvin pierce is in West Virginia, trying to find the old compound that today is still owned by his fathers group. I guess im probably a little nervous. Its been almost 20 years since ive been there. Ive only been there twice. Reporter kelvins father moved to this secretive compound after rising to white supremacist infamy with his novel. Jimmy the turnthe turner d its sort of like a bible for the whole movement. It truly is the most violent exercise of what it would take to create an allwhite state, nation, and world. Reporter the violent writings turned from William Pierces fictional fantasies to reallife tragedy. The whole front of the Federal Building is gone, all floors to the roof. Im Peter Jennings at abc news headquarters in new york. A major explosion in Oklahoma City in a Federal Building in the center of oklahoma, about 9 00 local time in oklahoma weve got a lot of children hurt. We need to get in. Reporter the Oklahoma City bombing claimed the lives of 168 people, including 19 children, and injured hundreds more. As the investigation into the bombing unfolded, the evidence pointed to a very diary at. We could also give you a bit of a hint now as to where the government owe peers to be focusing its investigation. On some of the what are called rightwing white supremacist groups in various parts of the country. Early on in the investigation, there was a piece of the vehicle used in the attack that was quickly uncovered. And they found a vin number. And they were able to trace that back to Timothy Mcveigh. Reporter Timothy Mcveigh, a 26yearold man from upstate new york, arrested within hourers of the bombing. Here he comes. Mr. Mcvay all the discussions were about, why did he do this . Where did he come from . Who is he connected to . Reporter inside mcvays yellow mercury van, investigators discovered a sealed envelope that would contain evidence crucial. The antigovernment novel the turner diaries reporter written by William Pierce, long held sacred by the White Power Movement. He usually had a copy wherever he went. He oftentimes had extra copies that he would give to others. Reporter authorities never did tie the National Alliance to the Oklahoma City bombing, pinning the devastating crime on mcvay and a few accomplices, including Terry Nichols and michael fortier. But it became clear mcvays ties to white power groups ran deep. Theyre brothers in arms, that is, theyre survivalists, quasisurvivalists, and i can get along with them real well. Whether it was a nazi, whether it was a white supremacist, whether it was a survivalist, whether it was a militia man, he would have fully embraced their views. It took me awhile to accept that tim had, in fact, joined the ku klux klan. He tried to downplay that. But other comments showed that hostile attitude towards people of color. Reporter Timothy Mcvay was convicted of the Oklahoma City bombing and executed on june 11th, 2001. It is absolutely sad and tragic may most of us knew very little about the development of the movement in which Timothy Mcvay was embedded. We didnt know how far the tentacles reached. Reporter it turns out there were warnings that Something Like this could happen. Six months prior to the bombing in Oklahoma City, the Southern Poverty Law Center sent a letter to thenattorney general janet reno, and we talked about what we were seeing in terms of the threat from the antigovernment movement. We saw more and more of this kind of thing happening on the ground. Its time for the government to take a new look at white supremacist groups, hate groups, militias . Is this going to trigger any kind of crackdown . Let me say that we need to finish this investigation. At the time, i dont really think that there was an understanding of how much of a threat we were dealing with within our own country. Reporter to the White Power Movement, violence is a means to an end. Something that kelvin pierce says was ingrained in his upbringing. I remember fantasizing about going into washington, d. C. And standing on a street corner, holding a machine gun, and mowing down black people with that machine gun. Reporter but as a College Student at virginia tech, kelvin began asking questions and distancing himself from his infamous father. I learned that i did not need to attach myself and my selfworth to all of the fearful and hateful thoughts that were continually running through my mind, and that i had a different choice. Reporter at the same time, across the country maximum violence upon them. Reporter the White Power Movement, far from the spotlight of authorities, continues to add followers. When you talk to experts, the 90s was kind of a heyday with Timothy Mcveigh and the militias of the day. That was kind of the last time we seemed to, as a country, really grapple with this rightwing extremism. This is a difficult moment for america. Today weve had a national tragedy. 9 11 happened. And our focus shifted overseas. We took our eyes off the ball in terms of the threat from domestic terrorism. End immigration charlottesville happened in august 2017. For many of us, it was a huge wakeup moment. Blood and soil racist nazis literally showed up. These people felt very comfortable being out in the open, in the light of day, to push their hatred. A short time ago we were dispatched to active gunfire at the tree of life synagogue in squirrel hill. Reporter 2018 and 2019 saw a historic increase in white power violence. Breaking news, we are learning more about the synagogue massacre. Reporter with the deadliest attacks against both jewish and latino communities in American History taking place. 11 people murdered at the tree of life synagogue in pittsburgh. Shoppers at walmart running for their lives as gunshots rang out. Reporter and 23 gunned down at an el paso walmart. After el paso happened, there was a lot of appropriate activity at the white house where they were examining what policy changes might need to occur. Reporter with the white house now on board, newmann and her team revived earlier plans to reprioritize white power threats, now the number one threat. Along the way she says she received an unusual request by the white house. They directed me that, your prevention plan is good, we want to support it. We cant talk about it in the framing of domestic terrorism, we need to talk about this in terms like violence prevention. The message was clear that we couldnt talk about domestic terrorism at the white house. Reporter in a statement to abc news responding to these claims, the white house said, contrary to these meritless allegations, there is nothing more important to this president than protecting the u. S. From all threats, both foreign and domestic, and he has repeatedly taken strong actions to keep america safe. An abc news investigation found that since donald trump emerged as a president ial candidate in 2015, at least 20 people charged with hatefueled assaults or threats cited trump specifically in connection to their actions. We couldnt find any such cases tied to either president bush or president obama. When we return, a son confronts his fathers deadly legacy. Can i help you . My name is kelvin pierce.

Driving in West Virginia, kelvin pierce finally spots what hes been looking for. The entrance to his fathers old compound, once the headquarters for the National Alliance. Its obvious that there have been vehicles on this road recently. As you can still see tire tracks in the mud. Im guessing there are people up here. Can i help you . My name is kelvin pierce. How are you doing . I was dr. Pierces son. Yes. Is there any way we can get permission to walk around . Yeah, leave the camera in the truck. Okay. Reporter abc producers were not allowed to film inside the compound, but kelvin pierce, on the grounds for the First Time SinceWilliam Pierce died in 2002, took photos on his phone. I got to see my dads trailer where he lived and where he died. And, yeah, just brought it all back. Reporter after his fathers death in 2002, the National Alliance largely disbanded. But with abc news cameras accompanying him on his visit to the West Virginia property, kelvin realized the group may now be mounting a comeback. The property is possibly coming back to life, because i know it sat there like for years. Now they have people here, and theyre working on the property, and theyre kind of trying to bring it back to life. Reporter the current leader of the National Alliance declined to be interviewed by abc news but said the group does not allow any illegal activity or violence from members, and in a statement said, we in the National Alliance believe that our race is worth preserving. To accomplish that, we as racial separatists simply advocate geographic separation of the races by whatever means it takes. There can be no socalled White Supremacy when we are not in the same space as nonwhites. Kelvin spoke to williams over the phone about his father and the future. He said, everybody thought we were down and out, but were back. He said, we are definitely back. Reporter for kelvin pierce, it has taken many years to come to terms with his upbringing. I wasnt even able to talk about it probably well into my 30s. I was afraid to have anybody know who my father was. Reporter now, 60 years old, kelvin is married with two daughters. He works as a contractor and founded a Relief Organization that provides aid to orphanages in the former soviet republic of georgia, and after his fathers death, kelvin began what he calls his healing process. I remember the first time i told my story publicly. One of the things i said was about my fantasy about shooting black people in d. C. And when i watched a couple of black people walk into the audience before i gave my speech, i was like, oh, no. Id better not say this. But i decided to go ahead and say it. And it was remarkable to me that those black people came up to me and embraced me and said, through tears, wow, your story was so powerful, and it really helped me. Theres hope that is engendered by a story like that, that if i could overcome that hatred and that depression and that feeling of unworthiness, then maybe somebody else could too. People can change. One of the keys to that is really seeking to understand why people adopt a white supremacist belief or ideology and join a hate group. Weve got to be able to reach out to people who are angry and frustrated and who want to strike out. If we arent doing that, if were making some people feel like they can make it in this country and others not make it, then all were doing is planting the seeds for future Timothy Mcveighs, to do the kinds of things we saw in Oklahoma City. One takeaway from a mass casualty event like the Oklahoma City bombing is that the event of violence is not thought of as the end point in and of itself. Its meant to provoke further violence. This is a real test. Its a wakeup call for our country. Its not just russia, its not just china, its not just iran. Reality is, our country can collapse not just from foreign adversaries. We can collapse from within. And Oklahoma City is a reminder of that fact. Our thanks to linsey. Well be right back with the final note.
