Why weren't we taught about Ms Murray??? It makes me angry that she has been hidden from me all my life!!!!
Extremely intelligent, Ms Murray should be held out, lauded and become a household name, known throughout the world!!! Extraordinary and well before her time!!!

I'd heard Pauli's name for the first time when I watched RGB. So, I committed it to memory at that time, researched more about Pauli, and wondered when someone would create a documentary on Pauli's contributions. Finally! It is very well put together, educational, and tactful with Pauli doing a large portion of the narrating. I'm sure Pauli would be proud.
This is a beautifully filmed documentary about a woman of whom I'd never heard. What a life! This was a story that needed to be told for all of us who care about human rights and social justice.

I watched this documentary last night about the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray.
I had never heard of this amazing person before and that is really sad. I strongly recommend this film.
Having the courage to be exactly who they were. Speaking up about gender identity, segregation and equality in the 1930's into the 1970's.
I learned so much and was so surprised that they are not included as a central character in the history of the civil rights along.

This documentary portrays a woman of extraordinary drive, compassion, reason and intelligence. Yet she been an unknown to me until this superbly-constructed documentary becaame available. Kudos to the creators for finding her and making her come alive. How many unrecognizable heroes are out there? I need to open my eyes and find the beautiful and the brave around me.
