Dear Friends:
It is my great joy to celebrate one year of a publicly open Pauli Murray Center with you! It requires grit to open a community space; a talented team to activate it; and passionate stakeholders to sustain it. I’m glad that we have access to all of these things.
In the last year, I have been struck by the sheer number of people that enter our space carrying something: overwhelm, despair, anger, hope, curiosity, excitement, and so much more. By the time folks leave us, they almost always feel grounded, and catalyzed to do something to shape an equitable, just community. That is the power and possibility of Pauli’s work and legacy, as it is activated in the sacred space that is their childhood home.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. We look forward to shaping meaningful change with you in the years to come.
Onward,
Angela Thorpe Mason
Executive Director
Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice
