My Name is Pauli Murray

This film is part of the series SHOW ME: Season 5 Largely overlooked by history, this documentary introduces audiences to Pauli Murray, a pioneering lawyer, activist, writer, and priest, whose landmark ideas around gender and racial equality would go on to shape both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall. Told largely through their own writings alongside interviews with activists, academics, and legal scholars of today, My Name is Pauli Murray traces both the contours of Murray’s career and offers a nuanced examination of their gender identity and private life. This screening will be followed by a community conversation led by Race Matters, Friends exploring topics such as race and gender discrimination and the law, the legal basis for universal rights, and intersectionality.
