“Sonny” W. Harold Flowers, Jr. (Engl’67; Law’71) writes that he received the Johnnie L. Cochran Jr. Soaring Eagle Award from the American Association for Justice at the organization’s annual convention in Denver in July 2018. The award was established in 1997 to recognize lawyers of color who have overcome obstacles as they travel the road to personal and professional success. The AAJ Minority Caucus presents the award annually to an attorney who, despite the challenges of his or her own journey, pursues excellence and has made outstanding efforts and contributions in paving the way for others.
