And by the way, one of Rockwell's daughters who long ago disowned her father was a teacher at my school.
But a lot of people didn't know that.
But anyway.
George Lincoln Rockwell was murdered by one of his own Nazis, a guy named John Poulter.
It was founded about 35 minutes from my house in Arlington, Virginia.
And John Poulter shot and killed Rockwell out there on the street on Wilson Boulevard.
So Rockwell's right-hand guy was a guy named Matt Cole, K-O-E-H-L.
And on this day in 1974, Matt Cole and his right-hand guy...
they're the heads of the American Nazi Party now after Rockwell, came to my school, to my class, and they spoke to my class.
Now, you could never do that today, you know, but I'm glad we were able to do that back in 1974.
You know, I wish that kind of thing would happen today so people can see what's, you know, freedom of speech and all that.
Matt Cole pointed at me and pointed at another black kid in my class and said, we're going to ship you back to Africa.
And then he went like this.
And all you Jews out there, you're going back to Israel.
Now, I'm 15 years old.
I just sat there like looking at the guy like, what on earth?
What is this man talking about?
I didn't say anything to him, but one of my classmates was a girl, piped up and said, well, they live here.
What if they don't want to go?
And Matt Cole said, oh, they have no choice.
