After a white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville sparked violence Saturday, resulting in the death of an anti-racism protester and collective national outrage, the Southern Poverty Law Center is reminding Americans that organized hate isn't a thing of the past — and that racism is alive and well in communities across Long Island.

The SPLC says nearly 1,000 organizations that meet its criteria for being designated a hate group are currently active nationwide.

In New York State, there are 47 active hate groups, with two on Long Island, one in Hampton Bays and one in Hempstead, according to the SPLC — ranging from white supremacists to anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim and black separatist organizations.
