They are one of the most influential figures in American 20th century history. It’s time you learn their name. Join us outdoors in the Ashé parking lot for the film screening of My Name is Pauli Murray Saturday, Oct 23 at 7:30 PM.

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness— around race and gender equity. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.

Join the conversation as we talk with director Julie Cohen. We will livestream on our facebook October 23rd at 1 p.m.
