	Go back				Carl Wennerstrand Local political leader for The Green Party in Växjö, Sweden. Part-time city councillor & Chairman of the Integration committee in the municipality of Växjö. Carl was previously active in a local National Socialist organisation, mainly writing propaganda based on material from mainstream media. He later found out that he didn't want to have anything to do with that sort of ideas anymore and came to realize that he was not at all a racist or a bigot. He says: "I later found my place in the Green Party, working against racism and anti-democratic ideas". Became chairman of the local Green Youth organisation and a school politician for the Greens. Since 1995 he visits a lot of schools and universities lecturing about his past and how to work against racist organisations and ideas; participates in debates and discussions all over Sweden. >> Back to top				Documents: Presentation by Mr. Carl Wennerstrand
