Pauli Murray was born in Baltimore, Maryland in 1910 and pioneered her way through college, law school, and seminary. She co-founded the National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966 and argued the unconstitutionality of “separate but equal” as a lawyer. In 1977 Murray changed direction and decided to dedicate her life to Christ. She served at St. Phillip’s Chapel in Aquasco (as had her father 50 years earlier) as a seminarian before being ordained at the National Cathedral as the first African American woman Episcopal Priest.
