My Name is Pauli Murray

This powerful documentary explores the life and legacy of Pauli Murray, a non-binary Black lawyer, activist, and priest who remained largely overlooked by history despite being a foundational architect of the American civil rights and women's rights movements. Directors Betsy West and Julie Cohen utilize a wealth of archival footage and audio recordings to illustrate how Murray’s pioneering legal theories directly influenced the landmark arguments of figures like Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The film serves as a long-overdue tribute to a visionary whose intersectional identity and relentless pursuit of justice reshaped the 14th Amendment and the landscape of American law.
