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.

As an African American youth raised in the segregated South- who was also wrestling with broader notions of gender identity-Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms. Both Pauli`s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli`s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
