Movement Mug
Movement Mug
$27.00
Add a splash of color to your daily coffee or tea ritual with this ceramic mug featuring the Pauli Murray Center logo and Pauli Murray’s iconic words:
“One person plus one typewriter constitutes a movement.”
For Pauli Murray, the typewriter was a tool of resistance. Long before emails or social media, Murray used carefully crafted letters to challenge injustice—writing directly to people in power when policies and practices caused harm. One of the most notable examples came in 1938, when Murray wrote to President Franklin D. Roosevelt after being denied admission to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill because of her race.
This mug honors Murray’s belief in the power of the written word—and the idea that individual voices, when used boldly and persistently, can help spark lasting change. Every purchase supports the Pauli Murray Center’s mission to preserve Murray’s legacy and advance education rooted in history, justice, and dignity.
