National Socialist White People's Party (1967-1983)
From Metapedia
The National Socialist White People’s Party was founded on January 1, 1967 by George Lincoln Rockwell. The group was the successor to Rockwell’s American Nazi Party (ANP). Later that year (August 25) Rockwell was assassinated and the party continued under the leadership of Matt Koehl. In 1983 Koehl changed the direction of the organization and formed New Order a quasi-religious group that revered Adolf Hitler.
In keeping with the new direction, Rockwell adopted the slogan “White Power” repalcing “Sieg Heil” as a rallying cry. The new strategy would be to capitalize on growing support in the wake of sucessful rallies in Chicago and to focus the organization’s commitment to a universal white nationalism as opposed to Nordic or Anglo-Saxon provincialism. An internal party newsletter, the National Socialist Bulletin, was started to convey and help direct these new efforts.
On June 9-11, 1967, the party held its national conference in Arlington aimed at reorganizing its leadership and “charting a new course of professionalism.” In July, 1967, The ANP party publication The Stormtrooper magazine was replaced by a newspaper titled White Power. Some within the NSWPP opposed this new ideological direction.
