Accessing History: A Community Conversation
What does it mean for history to be truly accessible?
CANDOR, the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice, and Whistle Stop Tours invite community members to a conversation about accessibility and the Roots and Soul: Walking with Pauli Murray tour.
We want to hear from people who have participated in the tour and people who have considered participating but were unsure whether the experience would be accessible to them. Together, we’ll explore accessibility broadly—including physical, sensory, cognitive, communication, social, financial, and other barriers that can shape whether and how someone participates.
This conversation is an opportunity to share experiences, identify barriers, name what supports access, and imagine what the tour could become. Your feedback will directly inform the ongoing accessibility work and future design of the Roots and Soul tour.
Pauli Murray’s legacy calls us to examine who has access to history, whose stories are centered, and what barriers remain. Your experiences, needs, and ideas will directly guide our work to make future Roots and Soul tours more accessible and deepen our practice of collective access.

Writing Pauli Murray History in the Twenty-First Century: The Impact of Transgender Studies
Focusing on primary documents in Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray "PM Medical" archival folder, Dr. Simon Fisher will explore how transgender historiography sheds new light on these documents within the context of several intersecting histories: African American history, history of medicine, feminist history, and queer and transgender history. He will discuss the narrative arc of the presence of transgender identity within Pauli Murray historical studies from the turn of the twenty-first century to the present, and highlight the current federal efforts to erase Murray’s Black, queer, and transgender activist histories from the nation’s public memory.
Dr. Simon Fisher teaches United States history at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada. His research on Pauli Murray has appeared in the Journal of African American History, Transgender Studies Quarterly, the SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies, and was featured on the podcast BackStory.
Presented by the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute, the Duke Human Rights Center, and the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice.
Space is limited! RSVP here: https://fhi.duke.edu/event/fhi-simon-fisher-writing-pauli-murray-history-twenty-first-century-impact-transgender-studies/
