The Racial Justice Planning Group is offering two opportunities in April to learn more about the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, recorded as the first Black woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest, and a leader in the Civil Rights and Women’s Rights movements. On April 19, we will join with EYC (Episcopal Youth Community) in the Youth Wing to watch and discuss the documentary “My Name is Pauli Murray.” Unlike prior movie nights, we will watch the film together, gathering with the youth from 4:30 to 7 p.m. for the movie, dinner and discussion.
On April 25, join us for a half-day retreat from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice, 906 Carroll Street, Durham. We will tour the newly restored center – originally Murray’s family home – and take part in a facilitated retreat about Murray’s life and legacy. This event is free to participants, thanks to generous support from the St. Paul’s Endowment; however, gathering space inside the center is limited, so pre-registration here is required. Contact Aleta McClenney with questions.
