The Pauli Murray Center’s 10th Anniversary Campaign
will honor our past and build our future.
As we celebrate the Pauli Murray Center’s 10th Anniversary, we are immensely proud of all that this community has accomplished. Since 2012, the Pauli Murray Center has activated learning and gathering spaces where history is an esteemed teacher. Thanks to you and others in Durham, across the U.S. South, around the country, and even internationally, the Pauli Murray Center is firmly rooted.

Now, we need YOUR help to continue growing and thriving. Our freedoms, liberties, and collective futures continue to be threatened by those who cling to systemic power and refuse to distribute resources more equitably. Pauli’s life-long struggle for human rights is a powerful north star, an antidote inspiring us to share our stories and live into our potential as change makers.

As we embark on our second decade, we are excited to open Pauli Murray’s childhood home to the public, begin work on the adjacent Welcome and Education Center, develop thoughtful K-12 curricula for generations of new learners, deepen our work with faith communities, and support up-and-coming firebrands through our summer internship program. 
At the Pauli Murray Center, we embrace our collective past and present – with all its complexity, contradictions, pain, and beauty – and work toward a future of healing and hope. You are what makes this future possible. Before the year’s end, please give as generously as you can to help ensure that the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice will grow and flourish for many years to come.
"In not a single one of these little campaigns was I victorious. In other words, in each case, I personally failed, but I have lived to see the thesis upon which I was operating vindicated. And what I very often say is that I’ve lived to see my lost causes found."
— Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray
