Frank Meeink’s teenage years make underage drinking and teen pregnancy look like a bad homework assignment.
Meeink became a skinhead at thirteen. By eighteen, the South Philadelphian (who Edward Norton portrayed in American History X) was a neo-Nazi recruiter, had his own cable-access show called The Reich, and was finally sent to the cooler for kidnapping and beating a member of a rival skinhead gang.
Cue eventual transformation, redemption, and a damn good read.
Meet Frank Meeink, author of Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead. Seating begins one hour before the event.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
