Karl Allen

Karl Rogers Allen Jr. (April 23, 1931 – March 5, 2015) was an American neo-Nazi who was the deputy commander of the American Nazi Party and later the founder of the neo-Nazi group the White Party of America. He worked in developing Florida's economy and was later a manager for bringing nuclear energy to the state; he disliked this job and resigned entirely after they disregarded his recommendations against nuclear energy. He then worked in construction. After becoming a neo-Nazi, Allen abruptly left his job in 1961 and joined George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party.

Other members of the American Nazi Party initially thought he was a spy, but he rose quickly to being the party's second in command. He demonstrated for the party's anti-civil rights demonstrations and wrote for the party's periodicals. In 1963, Allen was arrested for giving a speech at a counter-protest to the March on Washington. In December 1963, he split from the American Nazi Party due to a personal dispute with Rockwell and created the White Party of America. While it sometimes had more members than the ANP, it attracted far less media attention. He was active in promoting the primary and presidential campaigns for George Wallace in 1964 and 1968. Later in life, he managed bookstores and hotels in Washington, D.C., and Tallahassee, Florida, and was the owner of the Black Cat News Exchange bookstore and newsstand in Tallahassee.
