Year of birth: 1950
Background: In the early 1970s Duke founded the White Youth Alliance, a group affiliated with the neo-Nazi National Socialist White People's Party in Arlington, Virginia. In 1974, he founded and became the self-appointed Imperial Wizard of the Louisiana-based Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. He established the National Association for the Advancement of White People in 1980 and the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (originally named the National Organization for European American Rights) in January 2000.
Political campaigns: In 1989 Duke won a seat representing Metairie, Louisiana, in the Louisiana State Legislature. Five unsuccessful political campaigns followed: a 1990 bid for the U.S. Senate, a 1991 campaign for the governorship of Louisiana, a bid for the Presidency in 1992, another senatorial race in 1996, and a 1998 attempt to win a Congressional seat in Louisiana. In both the 1990 and 1991 races, he attracted a majority of Louisiana's white voters.
Other media: Internet
Works: African Atto (1973, as Mohammad X) a street-fighting manual avowedly written to help the Klan identify "radical" African-Americans, who would buy the book); Finders Keepers (1976, as Dorothy Vanderbilt) a self-help sex manual for women; My Awakening (1998); and Jewish Supremacism (2002), an updated version of the section, "The Jewish Question," in My Awakening .
