This incredible documentary cements the legacy of a trailblazing pioneer of American civil rights, whose fight for race and gender equality precedes the big names celebrated in history books. Pauli Murray was an activist, lawyer, professor, poet and priest, and audio recordings of the subject’s own memoir are joined here by archive material and talking heads to focus the spotlight on a brave, unstoppable force who embraced intersectionality in a way that was decades ahead of its time and whose work has been credited for huge legal wins in racial and gender equality (and cited by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, no less). Gender non-conforming and spending much of their later life in a same-sex relationship – though Pauli never addressed either publicly at the time – it is fitting that their groundbreaking final law school paper continues to form the basis of fights for LGBTQI equality in court today. This is a name worth remembering.
