* Correction: The Hate Symbol Database is compiled and maintained by the Anti-Defamation League not the Southern Poverty Law Center, as I stated in the podcast.

Here is a link for the Anti-Defamation League's Hate Symbol Database

Here is the link for the Southern Poverty Law Center HateMap (a map that shows the active Hate Groups in the US) and HateWatch blog.

The HateMap is particularly interesting because it outlines the types of Hate groups by State, and if you click on the symbols, there are links to the information that the SPLC has researched including primary source documents.
