Even before the Islamic Center attack, San Diego had a long history of white supremacist violence
The attack on the San Diego Islamic Center was not random, nor were the “lone wolves” acting alone. It took place in a region that is historically permeated with white supremacist movements, from Lemon Grove Middle School segregation to the dark influence of Tom Metzger and the legacy of White Aryan Resistance. In many ways, the fundamental struggle of the United States is connected back to San Diego.
But San Diego is also home to a movement that is just as powerful and knitted just as tightly into the fabric of our national and local history — the struggle against those white supremacist movements. Our Roberto Camacho spoke to people who were directly involved in the fight against them, and what lessons they hope people will take into the future in order to heal communities and prevent future attacks like these.
