The Southern Poverty Law Center pleaded not guilty this week to an 11-count federal indictment alleging the civil rights nonprofit spent years secretly paying millions of dollars to people inside the white supremacist and neo-Nazi networks it publicly raised money to fight. Interim president and CEO Bryan Fair entered the not-guilty plea on behalf of the organization in federal court in Montgomery, Alabama. No individuals have been charged. Trial is set to begin in October. That plea does not erase a charge sheet that reads like a betrayal of every donor who ever wrote a check to the SPLC believing it would be used to fight racism.
