AKA The Civil Rights Memorial Center.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is an American non-profit legal, educational, and intelligence-gathering group for the purposes of advocacy for civil rights and against racism. The center is based in Montgomery, Alabama, in the Southern United States. It was founded in 1971 by Morris Dees and Joe Levin as a civil rights law firm. It is known for its tolerance programs, its legal victories against white supremacist groups, and its investigations of alleged hate groups.


The Center publishes a quarterly Intelligence Report which lists groups it accuses of political extremism and hate crimes in the United States. The center also sponsored the creation of a Civil Rights Memorial in downtown Montgomery designed by architect Maya Lin. The Center's activities have long generated controversy pertaining to its political tactics, allegations of financial mismanagement by Dees, and allegations of racial discrimination within the organization itself by former employees.
["Until Justice Rolls Down is also a book written by Frank Sikora. A lyrically moving description of the Martin Luther Kings' last hours. . . . Until Justice Rolls Down is a story about intrepid prosecutors in pursuit of evidence."Sikora captures the hatred of the Klan, the hope of the civil rights movement, the pain of the tragic bombing, and the courtroom drama that ultimately caused 'justice to roll down like water.' It is a fascinating read."—Morris Dees, Southern Poverty Law Center "]
