Extremism in America series:    • Extremism in America  

This episode looks at the white supremacist movement’s reaction to the election of a Black president. It explores how a focus on terrorist threats from abroad allowed a homegrown threat to fester.

"Extremism in America" is a five-part documentary series on the rise of domestic terrorism in the U.S. The Biden administration has warned that domestic terrorism now poses the most significant threat to the country. But for decades, there have been clear signs that far-right extremist beliefs were spreading and that right-wing extremist groups were growing more dangerous. Presented by Exploring Hate and Retro Report. New Episodes Tuesdays April 19-May 17, 2022.
