Echoes & Reflections Seeks To Address Hate Crimes Through Education

TOM DAVENPORT / ASSOCIATED PRESS
In this Oct. 28, 2000 file photo, white supremacist Richard Butler, speaks through a megaphone at an Aryan Nations rally in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The Aryan Nations is long gone from northern Idaho, but its reputation lingers to the chagrin of locals.
