Service to Honor The Rev. Pauli Murray July 18
The Rev. Pauli Murray, first African American woman ordained as an Episcopal Priest, was a champion for civil and human rights who grew up in Durham and whose forebearers were slaves in Orange County and Chapel Hill. Pauli Murray’s insights and vision continue to resonate powerfully in our times. As a historian, attorney, poet, activist, teacher and Episcopal priest, she worked throughout her life to address injustice, to give voice to the unheard, to educate, and to promote reconciliation between races and economic classes.

The Pauli Murray Service will be held again this year at St. Titus’ Church, 400 Moline Street in Durham on Wednesday, July 18, at 6:30 PM.
