Infinite DramaQuest 2.0: American Renaissance Edition
White Nationalists from around the globe will converge on Burns, Tennessee, Friday for the annual American Renaissance conference. The sold out program features a number of familiar faces — Jared Taylor, Sam Dickson, Peter Brimelow and John Derbyshire.
There are some conspicuous absences on the event bill, however; most notably, any of the rising stars of the Alt-Right that are headlining the August 12 Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The absence of Richard Spencer, the de facto figurehead of the Alt-Right, from the official program is the most glaring.
Spencer, who has spoken prominently at previous American Renaissance conferences, has arguably become the most recognizable figure in the white nationalist movement over the past year. He rose to prominence on the brand of the Alt-Right, a term he helped coin, as its notoriety grew during the 2016 presidential campaign.
