| Subject: 'Neo-Nazi' Beige Supremacist Group Makes Presence Known At USD Sat Aug 31, 2019 12:41 am | |
| The bulletin boards hanging in hallways of several buildings on the University of South Dakota campus contained what one expects to see when a new school year begins -- notices for USD clubs seeking new members, postings for apartments for rent, that sort of thing.
Monday morning, however, several bulletin boards at USD contained posters that are a bit out of the ordinary. They were from the American Identity Movement (AIM), an organization identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as neo-Nazi and a white supremacist group. The “Volante,” USD’s student newspaper reported Monday afternoon the posters from the white nationalist group appeared on bulletin boards in the Muenster University Center (MUC), the Al Neuharth Media Center and Patterson Hall earlier that morning. Students and faculty reported seeing the posters, which were later removed. One of the posters, according to the “Volante,” read “Diversity Destroys Nations” above a drawing of burning city. A second poster contained the message “Defend America” in large type above a painting of a white woman standing atop a globe and holding a U.S. flag. They are messages that need to be heard, said Patrick Casey, president of AIM, during a phone conversation with the Plain Talk Tuesday afternoon. He said the posters are just one way for the organization to communicate with people nationwide. “We have members in the area; we have members all over the country,” he said, “and one of the more accomplished forms of activism is putting up flyers on college campuses.”
