Black community leaders in Boston are marking the Fourth of July by responding to the white supremacists who marched through Boston two days ago.
Members of the group, identified by police as Patriot Front, marched through the city on Saturday with concealed faces, wearing shirts that read “Reclaim America.”
The Anti-Defamation League, which tracks hate groups nationwide, has called Patriot Front a white supremacist group that spreads racism, antisemitism, and other forms of hate online. The ADL says the group is focused on “preserving America’s identity as a European-American one.”
