Morris Dees Jr., co-founder of the Southern Poverty Law Center, earlier this week received the ABA Medal, the highest honor from the American Bar Association in recognition of his careerlong pursuit against racism and injustice.

"To be recognized by an organization that I consider to be the glue that holds our whole legal system together in America, the American Bar Association, to be embraced by you, erases all that loneliness and tough fights that I've been through with help of so many people,” Dees said during a ceremony in Chicago.
