Pauli Murray: Imp, Crusader, Dude, Priest chronicled the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray. They were a significant 20th-century human rights activist, educator, lawyer, poet, and Episcopal priest.
Murray was a key player in the fight for African American, women’s, and LGBTQIA+ rights. At the same time, Murray was negotiating their own racial identity, struggling to earn a good living, and seeking more understanding of their sexuality and gender.
Visitors to this exhibit—created with Durham’s Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice—could explore a variety of life-size photographs and an annotated timeline to learn more about Murray’s life.
