Southern Poverty Law Center creates Hate Group Map

A map showing active hate groups in the United States has been created by the Southern Poverty Law Center.  This interactive map breaks down the groups by state.  In 2013, the Southern Poverty Law Center identified 939 hate groups currently active across the country.  In South Carolina, the Center found 20 such groups.  The Center’s website states that only groups and their chapters known to be active during the year were included in the report, which was written using hate group publications and websites, citizen and law enforcement reports, field sources and news reports.
