George Lincoln Rockwell (March 9, 1918 – August 25, 1967) was an American politician and neo-Nazi.
In 1959, he was discharged from the United States Navy because of his political views and founded the American Nazi Party. Rockwell denied The Holocaust and believed that Martin Luther King Jr.
was a tool for Jewish Communists wanting to rule the white community.
He blamed the civil rights movement on the Jews.
He regarded Hitler as "the White savior of the twentieth century".
He regarded blacks as a "primitive, lethargic race who desired only simple pleasures and a life of irresponsibility" and supported the resettlement of all African Americans in a new African state to be funded by the U.S.
government.
As a supporter of racial segregation, he agreed with and quoted many leaders of the Black nationalism movement such as Elijah Muhammad and early Malcolm X.
In later years, Rockwell became increasingly aligned with other neo-Nazi groups, leading the World Union of National Socialists. On August 25, 1967, Rockwell was murdered in Arlington by John Patler, a disgruntled former member of his party.
