Join us for a salon moderated by Aria Sa’id, spotlighting Pauli Murray’s life’s work as a Black LGBTQ activist, feminist, lawyer, priest, and poet.
Pauli Murray was acutely aware of gender based oppression and coined the term Jane Crow to demonstrate the belief that Jim Crow laws also negatively affected African-American women. A leader well-ahead of the times, Pauli Murray brought a rigor and fierceness to advancing racial, economic, and gender justice that profoundly shaped the legal landscape of California and beyond.
This salon is co-organized with Women’s Foundation California’s Culture Change Fund Partners, Participant Media and Harness.
