Pam Horowitz

Pam Horowitz was one of the first lawyers hired by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s co-founders Morris Dees and Joe Levin, joining the organization in 1974. During her time at the Southern Poverty Law Center, she successfully argued an 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.

She is the editor, with Jeanne Theoharis, of Julian Bond’s Time to Teach: A History of the Southern Civil Rights Movement, and wrote the Forward to the book.
