"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children."

Background/History This numeral represents the phrase "14 words," the number of words in an expression that has become the battle cry and rallying slogan for the white supremacist movement: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." This expression was coined by the now imprisoned David Lane, a long-time racist and member of The Order, a far-right revolutionary group based in the Northwest, that was responsible for a number of bank robberies, the bombing of a synagogue and the murder of Denver radio talk-show host Alan Berg in the 1980s
