Equality Illinois celebrated its 21st year of work for GLBT rights at its "Justice for All" Gala Feb. 11. More than a 1,300 people attended the sold-out event at the Hilton Chicago hotel, which drew in political and community leaders en masse. Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to President Barack Obama, delivered the night's keynote address.
