The Southern Poverty Law Center

I just joined The Southern Poverty Law Center, and boy am I proud to be a member. I got a letter from Morris Dess, the founder. As he said, 40 years ago, Martin Luther King's dream became his dream--to combat hate crimes; to make the world more tolerant; to fight injustice and to protect victims of injustice. Dess grew up in a small Southern town, where his dad bristled at the idea that there were separate water fountains for Black people, and his dad drank from the same dipper as a Black woman he knew. And look at the culture of hate in our world today, when decades ago there were GREAT men like Dess' dad, who knew RIGHT stands above MIGHT. Too bad the world has spiraled in such a negative direction, but I for one will not tolerate the intolerance of our current government. The resistance is strong, so other people will not, too!
