On February 7, 2026, the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers (MABL) Law School Pathways Program was awarded the Alexander Award by the American Bar Association (ABA) at the Titan's Gala in San Antonio, Texas. MABL's Immediate Past President Dana Mitchell and MABL Member Amanda Matchett, who both helped develop and found the Pathways Program, received the award on behalf of MABL and MABL's Law School Pathways Program.

In September 2020, Attorney at Law Magazine partnered with the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers (MABL) to host a panel discussion with representatives from seven Minnesota bar organizations, moderated by the Honorable JaPaul J. Harris. The purpose of this discussion was to give a voice to affinity bars in the wake of recent tragedies — including the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Philando Castile, and others.
