In addition to its legal actions against white supremacist groups and legal representations of the victims of hate crimes, the Southern Poverty Law Center also has a long history of developing educational programs that seek to promote tolerance. These classroom resources address a wide range of social justice and tolerance issues, and are designed for students from kindergarten through their senior year of high school. The site is easily searchable with the built in search engine. Readers may scout Type of Resource (Activity, Activity Exchange, or Lesson), Topic (Immigration, Religion, and many others), Grade Level, and Subject. While many of the lessons and activities are helpful, the lesson plan for the Voting Rights Act, 1965 and beyond is a standout for its comprehensive treatment of the subject, and its many downloadable materials.
