Georgia Hate Map: Group Shows Active Racist Organizations

The Southern Poverty Law Center says 32 hate groups — from the KKK to black separatists — are based in Georgia.

ATLANTA, GA — After a white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, whipped up racial violence that led to the death of one anti-racism protester over the weekend, the Southern Poverty Law Center is shining a light on hate groups throughout the nation.

The SLPC website has an interactive map showing the location of hate groups state by state. Here's where those groups are active in the Peach State:
