In this Nov. 11, 2015 photo, Frank Sherlock, the then-poet laurel of Philadelphia, poses outside Dirty Franks, a bar in Philadelphia where he worked as a bouncer. Sherlock, who focused on bringing poetry to neighborhoods and the city’s young people, has been outed as a former white nationalist. He was appointed to the year-long post in 2014 during the administration of Mayor Michael Nutter, who is black. In the late 1980s, Sherlock was a 19-year-old skinhead and vocalist for a white nationalist punk band called New Glory.  (Charles Fox/The Philadelphia Inquirer via AP)
