The National Socialist Party of America (NSPA) was a Chicago-based organization founded in 1970 by Frank Collin shortly after he left the National Socialist White People's Party, originally the American Nazi Party. The NSPA was sometimes also called the American Nazi Party (ANP), though that was not its official name. They were involved in the Greensboro massacre and a high profile marching controversy in Skokie, Illinois. Harold Covington succeeded Collin as leader of the NSPA in 1979, before dissolving the organization in 1981.
