Abstract:

Pauli Murray, an activist sainted by the Episcopal Church, grew up on 906 Carroll Street in Durham with her grandparents. The 112 year home known as The Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice stands as a memorial for the woman who fought for civil, women's, labor, and LGBT equality. However, the home is in disrepair and if it is to open as a museum and/or community center an estimated $150-200,000 must be raised for renovations.
