Join us as we write the next chapter for the Pauli Murray Center!

The Pauli Murray Center has grown and evolved since its beginning as a preservation project in 2012. As we reflect on where we have been, there is so much to celebrate and honor in the spirit of Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray! Now that we are open to the public and are poised to acquire Murray's ancestral land, the possibilities have expanded to new heights.

• Support and sustain our team (a constellation of justice workers, historians, educators, faith leaders, and creatives) as we work to shape experiences, for you, grounded in activism, creativity, education, faith, and history.
• Shape Murray's ancestral land -- the grounds of the Pauli Murray Center -- into a functional gathering space and green space for community.
• Provide field trips to local elementary and middle school students.
• Expand our equity-centered internship and fellowship programs.
• Develop exhibitions that connect Murray's work and legacy to contemporary social justice issues.

In Proud Shoes, Murray writes, "When I was a small child Grandmother planted a young orchard of plums, peaches, cherries and pears just below the wellhouse. As I watched her setting out the slender twigs she told me, 'I won't be here when these bear fruit, child, but they're for your time.'"

Pauli's work has done the same. We look forward to another year of seeing the 'fruits' of this enduring legacy and we are thrilled that you are turning the pages of this new chapter with us.
