Help us open the doors to visitors!

We are on the road to becoming a National Historic Landmark. Help us welcome visitors to our site by supporting our renovations. We've raised funds from the Iron Mountain Charitable Foundation and the Marion Stedman Covington Foundation but it doesn't quite add up to the $55,000 we need.

Save one of Durham's most important historic landmarks, Pauli Murray's childhood home at 906 Carroll Street, built in 1898 by her grandfather Robert G. Fitzgerald. Pauli committed her life to the fight for social justice. Her story needs to be told and her work needs to continue. Help us save the house and create the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice, a community gathering place for history, education, arts and social mobilization. Learn more about Pauli Murray here.

About the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice

The Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice lifts up the life and legacy of activist, scholar, feminist, poet, attorney and priest Pauli Murray by developing the Pauli Murray/Robert Fitzgerald house as an historic educational site. The Center actively works, through its programming and operations, to increase engagement across divisions such as race, class, sexual & gender identity, and spiritual practice to address enduring inequities and injustice in our local, national and global communities.
