  • Vanguard America
    Vanguard America Vanguard America (VA) VA is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes America should be an exclusively white nation. VA spreads their hateful propaganda via the internet and by distributing fliers, posters, and stickers. VA is particularly focused on recruiting young men and has engaged in outreach efforts to attract students on American college campuses. VA has participated in white supremacist rallies and protests around the country. VA members have targeted Jewish institutions with hateful propaganda. 1 / 10 Infighting has led to the formation of two competing splinter groups, Patriot Front and the National Socialist Legion. Vanguard America (VA) is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes that America should be an exclusively white nation. Their right-wing nationalist slogan, “Blood and Soil,” romanticizes the notion that people with “white blood” have a special bond with “American soil.” This philosophy originated in Germany (as Blut und Boden) and was popularized by Hitler’s regime. VA uses “For Race and Nation” as an alternative slogan. Along those lines, the VA manifesto (as of April 2018) maintains that “The racial stock of this nation was created for white Christian Anglo/Europeans by white Christian Anglo/Europeans. All other ethnicities, races, religions and demographics are absolutely not compatible with this nation’s original culture. With such being stated, a mass exodus, isolation, apartheid, segregation and/or separation must be implemented to retain the good order and longevity of the country.” Originally, VA (then called American Vanguard), was firmly in the alt-right hemisphere, and focused on white identity.

(Cody Duty / Houston Chronicle) As day was breaking Tuesday, a crew of workers began installing a 20-foot-tall sculpture in Hermann Park. Entitled "Wind Sculpture IV," the towering work by London-based artist Yinka Shonibare is scheduled to remain in the park until February. The sculpture, which has also been displayed in museums in Chicago, London and Germany, captures the movement of a billowing sail, said Lea Weingarten of the Weingarten Art Group, who was on hand for the installation. Weingarten said Shonibare, who was born in Nigeria and now lives in London, explores the themes of colonialism and globalism in his art.
