Thanks for sharing this. I wrote an article on them earlier this pride. Their ideas are foundational both to Pride and the civil rights movement. Pauli is important and everyone should know their name.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was so influenced by Pauli Murray that she placed Murray’s name on several opinions that Ginsburg wrote. I learned this before there was ever a documentary on Murray.

Thank you, Pauly Murray! This is the kind of dazzling brilliance that should be widely celebrated. Would love to see two of her books you referenced made required reading in American History and Social Studies classes. - kaf

The Pauli Murray Center lost its federal funding but is still open in Durham NC. Check it out ! They can sure use a donation or a visit to continue her legacy🙏🏻

There is a fabulous documentary out there about her.. blew my mind. I don't know if it was on pbs or somewhere else but do a search to see if you can find it. Well worth a watch.. I knew some about her but not nearly all. Incredible woman…

I read Pauli Muarry book in college. A German professor recommended the book to me. My professor grew up in Nazi Germany, as a young teenager and married a G.I. WWII soldier.

She became a priest? 🙈

You mean she joined the people who segregated, enslaved & corrupted the secular government & the south?

Whoops.
