“I would like to have attended this event in person; however, budget constraints limit and restrict our travel. Thanks so much for providing this webcast. Dr. Krieger has written extensively on social inequities in health. Her work is illuminating and thought-provoking. There is profound clarity in her research to help guide efforts to understand and address social determinants of health. My work involves addressing health inequities and improving the health of Oklahoma’s diverse minority populations. The presentation in this webcast will inform my efforts.”

Featured Website: Southern Poverty Law Center

Founded in 1971 as a small civil rights law firm, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is internationally known for its tolerance education programs, legal victories against white supremacists and tracking of hate groups. The Center and its co-founder, Morris Dees, have been the target of death threats, bomb plots, and a successful arson attack. Recently an FBI informant described a plot to assassinate Morris Dees by a man whose organization (Imperial Klans of America) is currently being sued by SPLC on behalf of a teenage boy who was viciously beaten by Klan members.

A Discovery Channel program (Monday, Oct. 13 at 10 p.m. ET/PT) hosted by Ted Koppel examines an historic Southern Poverty Law Center lawsuit that destroyed one of the nation's most violent Klan groups following the 1981 lynching of Michael Donald in Mobile, Ala. The program features interviews with SPLC co-founder Morris Dees and Alabama Congressman Artur Davis, who was an SPLC intern during the case. Dees is also featured on a National Geographic special on KKK: Inside American Terror, Wednesday, Oct. 15 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT). (Posted 10/13/2008)
