The Southerm Poverty Law Center’s Mark Potok puts Michigan hate groups in context

I’d reached out to Potok, who serves as editor-in-chief of the Center’s quarterly journal, the Intelligence Report, and its blog, entitled Hatewatch, as I hoped that he might be able to shed a little light on William [...]
