The rise of white nationalism

The rise of white nationalism

Following the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president, reports of an increase in hate crimes have been widely circulated in the U.S. and Canada. On Sunday, a video was released of Richard Spencer, a leader of the "alternative-right movement" or "alt-right," leading a white nationalist crowd gathered in Washington, D.C., in salutes of "Hail Trump!" Vivek Venkatesh, associate professor in the Department of Education and co-founder and director of SOMEONE (SOcial Media EducatiON Every day), can talk about what's driving the rise of the “alt-right”.
