pickPauli Murray - lawyer, civil rights activist, Episcopal priest, poet, friend of Eleanor Roosevelt - grew up in Durham NC. This is the story of her grandparents and great grandparents, their different backgrounds and races, and particularly their time between the war and Jim Crow when people thought it was going to be a more direct route to equality. Highly recommend. It‘s engagingly written and immersed me in her world.
Kimzey I‘ve been meaning to learn more about Pauli Murray. I have Song in a Weary Throat in my Audible library, but have yet to listen. Stacking this one too! 7h
Lcsmcat @Kimzey It‘s about her, rather than by her, but I highly recommend![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
