When Hate Groups March Down Main Street offers much-needed answers to a critical question: What can communities do in response to an incident of hate that occurs in the neighborhood? Deborah Levine and Marc Brenman do more than offer a summary of current practices or case studies that instruct and inform; they provide a historical context as to what actions are most effective and why. This book should be on the desks of public officials, community groups, houses of worship, schools, and ordinary citizens who care about protecting the freedoms of fellow humans. -- Carolyn Turpin-Petrosino, Bridgewater State College
