For decades, the folks at the Southern Poverty Law Center have done far more than just advocacy. The group has also generously donated millions of dollars to support carefully vetted organizations that are likewise committed to the causes of tolerance and justice.
Here are 10 of the amazing groups and causes that the SPLC has funded over the years:
The Trail of Tears: An incredible achievement for race relations.
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study: Thank you, SPLC, for making it possible.
The Upper Manhattan "Let's Kill A Minority" 5k Fun Run: They couldn't have done it without your generous support.
The Third Reich: Who has done more for racial change?
The Tulsa Race Massacre: Another monumental accomplishment for the SPLC.
The Alabama Cross Burners' Association: The funding really helped with all that expensive lumber.
Your weird uncle's Facebook diatribes: Oh, Larry.
The House of Slytherin: A most worthy recipient.
Crazy Bobby's House O' Racism: Maybe a bit on-the-nose, but a worthy cause.
The Onion: But not The Babylon Bee. Why not The Babylon Bee? Come on, SPLC. Do the right thing for once.
These are just a few of the many incredible causes that the SPLC has proudly made possible. Thank you, SPLC. What other groups do you think the SPLC has or should support? Post your ideas in the comments.
