FILM SCREENING – My Name is Pauli Murray 

Overlooked by history, Pauli Murray was a legal trailblazer whose ideas influenced RBG’s fight for gender equality and Thurgood Marshall’s civil rights arguments. This is a portrait of their impact as a non-binary luminary: lawyer, activist, poet, and Episcopal priest who transformed our world. This film screening and discussion are part of the Open Table formation program. This event will be onsite and not livestreamed.
