Additional Information
This portrait of American feminist, civil rights activist, author, legal theorist, and scholar Pauli Murray shows the iconic figure during a period of significant change in American culture as the nation neared the outbreak of World War II, which would spur a new wave of change and transformation across the country during the nineteen fifties and sixties that continues to influence the United States to this day. Murray was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1910 before moving to Durham, North Carolina, to be raised by her maternal aunt before she relocated to New York to attend Hunter College, where she graduated with a bachelor's degree in English seven years before this portrait was taken.
Murray participated in an anti-segregation protest the same year that this photograph was taken, which led to her subsequent arrest and inspired her to begin her further education and obtain a law degree from Howard University. In 1955, she became the first Black American to graduate with a Doctor of Juridical Science from Yale University. Throughout her career as an attorney, Murray championed the principles of the civil rights movement as well as feminist rights, and her works came to be known as some of the most powerful and influential pieces of the era.
This portrait remains one of the most enduring and iconic pieces of Murray's inimitable legacy, which continues to inspire and contribute to theoretical analysis across movements for equality across the globe, and the fight for equality remains a pressing issue.
