Pam Horowitz

Pam Horowitz was one of the first lawyers hired by SPLC co-founders Morris Dees and Joe Levin, joining the organization in 1974. During her time at the Southern Poverty Law Center, she successfully argued a historic sex discrimination case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Horowitz practiced law for 30 years with a Washington, D.C., firm. She also worked in partnership with her late husband, Julian Bond, who served as the SPLC’s first president, on multiple public, private, and academic projects – including an annual civil rights tour of the South and projects involving the SPLC.
