ince 1988, activist/journalist
Daryle Lamont Jenkins, aka
“The Klanbuster,” has dedicated
his life to monitoring the move-
ments of the Ku Klux Klan and other
White supremacist groups. In 2000,
he co-founded One People’s Project
[ https:// w w w.onepeoplesproject.
com/], a watchdog organization which
maintains a database not only on hate
groups but on their membership as
well. It is geared towards researching
and reporting on hate politics and
those engaged in them in an effort to
diminish their impact on society.
Despite incessant death threats, Dar-
yle and company routinely put their
lives on the line by participating in
counter-demonstrations at Klan and
neo-Nazi rallies. They were in Char-
lottesville the recent weekend when
a horde of white racists marched with
torches while brandishing automatic
weapons and chanting racist, anti-Se-
mitic and homophobic epithets. And
they were there when Heather Heyer
was murdered by James Fields (al-
legedly), the driver of the Dodge Chal-
lenger which mowed down 20 peace-

ful counter-demonstrators.
Daryle has appeared on TV talk
shows hosted by MSNBC’s Joy Reid
and Rachel Maddow, as well as Montel
Williams. And Jamie Bell is set to star
in a biopic, “Skin,” about a neo-Nazi he
helped leave the White Power move-
ment. The movie’s producers are cur-
rently casting the film, and are still
searching for an actor to play Daryle.
Here, he recounts the events which
transpired in Charlottesville, and he
assesses the state of the union in light
of President Trump’s reluctance to
condemn all Nazi and Klan sympa-
thizers as evil.
KW: Were you in Charlottesville the
weekend of the terrorist attack?
DLJ: Yes, I was, me and a crew of OPP
members out of Philly, DC and New
England and the South.
KW: What drew you and the One
People’s Project there? I assume you
are always monitoring hate groups
and the event registered a blip on
your radar. Did you have any idea it
was going to be such a huge gathering
of white supremacists?
