Samuel Francis
Samuel Francis is a former
Washington Times columnist dismissed from that paper in
1995 for remarks made before the
1994 annual meeting of the
American Renaissance, a
racialist organization run by Jared Taylor, which were deemed
racist by the management of the Times. The
Anti-Defamation League, among others, has branded Francis an advocate of "well mannered
white supremacy," while Francis and his defenders maintain that he is persecuted for speaking truth to power. Francis is associate editor and book review editor of
Occidental Quarterly, a pro-
eugenics, racialist journal edited by Kevin Lamb and sponsored by William Regnery. He also serves on the board of editors of
Modern Age, a quarterly publication of the Intercollegiate Studies Institute that bills itself as "the principal quarterly of the intellectual right" and which serves as an important outlet for the expression of
paleoconservative views. Francis continues to write a syndicated column and is a speaker at meetings of the American Renaissance and the
Council of Conservative Citizens.
