Episode 29: Ep29: Who Was Pauli Murray? A Conversation with Writer and Photographer Malika Ali Harding.
Episode 29
Monday, 28 June, 2021

It’s pride month! In this episode, writer and photographer Malika Ali Harding tells us about Pauli Murray. Pauli Murray was a civil rights activist, women’s rights activist, lawyer, author, poet, and is amongst the first generation of female Episcopal priests. She’s done so many amazing things… but why isn’t she more well known?? We talk about how Pauli sometimes just missed the moment or wasn’t put on display to help promote a cause. Pauli Murray struggled with her sexual and gender identity describing herself as having an “inverted sex instinct”. She had several deep relationships with women. A number of scholars have retroactively classified her as transgender.
