Southern+Poverty+Law+Center

Hello, below you will find a link to the Southern Poverty Law Center website. The Southern Poverty Law Center is a civil rights organization that was created in 1971. Its aim was to fight hate and bigotry. As a former attorney, I have always appreciated this group's amazing rise to familiarity throughout our nation.

The site links to a "hate map" that provides information about groups that the Southern Poverty Law Center find to be racist and/or hate based. There are 13 groups that they are currently tracking in Washington state. The sit also links to intelligence files and reports about hate groups. Additionally, the Southern Poverty Law Center provides educators with free publications to help teach students about racism, bigotry, and hate. It is a wonderful resource for any high school (and maybe middle school) social studies teacher.
