Summary

This documentary on the Southern Poverty Law Center begins at the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, AL, built by the  Southern Poverty Law Center, to commemorate those who died in the American Civil Rights Movement. The center was founded in 1971 and is dedicated to seeking justice and fulfilling the promise of equality in the United States. For over four decades, the center has pursued the cause of the powerless whose human and civil rights have been violated. The film provides an overview of the successes and continuing work of the law center to combat racism and other forms of institutionalized discrimination and harassment through court cases, monitoring of hate groups, educational outreach, and media engagement.
