• The new leader of one of the nation's largest neo-Nazi groups appears to be a black activist who has vowed to dismantle it.
• Court documents suggest James Hart Stern wants to use his new position as director and president of the National Socialist Movement to undermine the Detroit-based group's stance in a lawsuit.
• Stern, who appears to have been trying for at least two years to disrupt the group, sparked comparisons to the recent Spike Lee movie "BlacKkKlansman" in which a black police officer infiltrates a branch of the Ku Klux Klan.
• It's not clear how Stern became the leader of the group.
