In conjunction with our special exhibition, The Woman Who Broke Boundaries: Photographer Lee Miller, we invite you to enjoy a lecture from Toni Van Pelt about the the living legacy of Pauli Murray.
Pauli Murray (1910 – 1985) was a feminist icon ahead of her time who challenged race and gender discrimination in legal, societal, academic and religious circles. Anna Pauline “Pauli” Murray was the great grand-daughter of enslaved persons, was a talented poet, thoughtful autobiographer and historian, perceptive social commentator, dedicated political organizer, compassionate attorney, inspiring professor, brilliant legal theorist and a ground-breaking Episcopal priest. Pauli Murray was one of the country’s foremost thinkers, legal theorists, civil rights/women’s rights organizers and writers. She was a cofounder of the National Organization for Women and her legacy continues to endow popular movements against discrimination and oppression not only in the U.S., but around the world.
