What the AMERICAN PUBLIC does not know is that MORRIS DEES is still alive and well and living like a KING in the POVERTY PALACE on the outskirts of MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA. MORRIS DEES used to post pictures of his estate on line and constantly brag about all of the money that he made working for the SPLC. DEES enriched himself immensely by donating large sums of donor dollars to groups overseas that would agree to pay him large kickbacks for short speeches, often times to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.
