Abstract

The article titled "Champions of Justice: The Southern Poverty Law Center's Enduring Legacy" discusses the history and impact of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). Founded by Morris Dees and Joe Levin, the SPLC has been fighting for justice and equality for over five decades, focusing on civil rights issues in the South. The SPLC has expanded its offices to multiple states and announced plans to open a new office in Atlanta. The organization has faced opposition from white supremacists and has achieved significant victories in desegregation, voting rights, and prison reform. Library patrons interested in civil rights and social justice can learn more about the SPLC's work and get involved through their website and social media platforms. [Extracted from the article]
