Nationalist Movement

The Nationalist Movement is a Mississippi-based, white nationalist organization with headquarters in Wisconsin that advocates what it calls a "pro-majority" position. It has been called white supremacist by the Associated Press and Anti-Defamation League, among others. Its leader was formerly Richard Barrett and is now Thomas Reiter. Its Secretary was Barry Hackney. Its activities include its Warrior-Training Camp, Unixandria Library, Crosstar website, Free-Tip news-service, Crosstar Forum, Crosstar Blogs, The Nationalist Dictionary, Airlink television-studios and Nationalist Legal-Defense Fund. Former activities included a Prisoner Pen-Pal Club and the All The Way newspaper. The symbol of the movement is the Crosstar.

Lawsuits

In 1987 the movement applied for 501(c)(3) non-profit status. This status was denied due to the organization's use of resources for non-charitable purposes. The movement filed a lawsuit challenging the decision on constitutional grounds, but was defeated. The movement was active in protests against Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in Atlanta, Georgia in 1989. Its Neighborhood, Home, Family and Country parade and rally in South Boston drew crowds and police. It held a demonstration in Simi Valley, California in 1992, in defense of the police officers accused of beating Rodney King. In 1993, it held a Majority-Rights Freedom Rally at the Colorado State Capitol, in opposition to gay rights.
