This week marks the one-year anniversary of the attack by neo-Nazi gunman Wade Michael Page on a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, that left six dead and five wounded. We speak with two guests whose unlikely alliance was born out of this tragedy: Pardeep Kaleka, the son of the former temple president, Satwant Singh Kaleka, who was killed in the attack; and Arno Michaelis, a former white supremacist and author of "My Life After Hate." Kaleka is founder of Serve 2 Unite, and Michaelis is an educator with the group, which works to educate young people to take a stand against violence and hate. "Beyond interrupting the cycle of violence, the motivation for doing that is the essence of taking ownership of the violence in our society," Michaelis says. "That blood is on all of our hands; it’s all of our problem, and we all need to be part of the solution." democracynow.org/2013/8/9/son_of_victim_in_sikh_temple
