Cartoon Network & NBJC presents Gender Pronouns Comic

Frequently Asked Questions

How to be an "Ally" + -

Becoming an ally requires making a sustained, lifelong commitment to unlearning anti-Blackness, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bias and hate. It requires action toward building a safe, equitable society in which all people are able to thrive.

Why all black lives must matter? + -

In "the Black community" we are immigrants, we are wo/men, we are dis/abled, we are multilingual, we are multi-ethnic, and we are-and have always been-transgender, queer+, bi/pansexual, intersex, gay, lesbian, same gender loving, heterosexual, and more. To say that Black Lives Matter, but leave out some who are Black and, is to succumb to the hierarchy of bodies on which white supremacy has always been built. In order for Black lives to matter, ALL Black lives must matter. Solving the crisis in housing for Black trans women solves the crisis for us all. Solving the crisis of discrimination in the workplace for our disabled family improves the workplace for us all. It shouldn't take a global pandemic to show us that we could have created remote workplaces in so many fields. White supremacy keeps us disempowered when we agree to siphon our community into different categories of value. Let's get free instead.

Why are gender pronouns important? + -

Take a look at our Cartoon Network comic strip collaboration to learn about the power of showing respect. A study from the University of Texas found that respecting trans youth's chosen names across school, home, work, and with peers resulted in "71 percent fewer symptoms of severe depression, a 34 percent decrease in reported thoughts of suicide, and a 65 percent decrease in suicidal attempts." Show respect, save lives. Name Use Matters for Transgender Youths Mental Health

What is the Pauli Murray Center for History & Social Justice?

The Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice lifts up the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, a twentieth-century human rights activist, legal scholar, feminist, poet, Episcopal priest, labor organizer, and multiracial Black, LGBTQ+ community member of transmasculine experience. Center programming in history, education, arts, and activism seeks to advance democracy, justice, non-violence, and equity for all.

The Pauli Murray Center welcomes everyone. Exhibits, community dialogues, visual and performing arts, activism, and writing workshops at the Center connect history to contemporary human rights issues. Murray's story inspires us all to rise up and speak out for our principles.

Pauli Murray's childhood home, built in 1898 by her Fitzgerald grandparents, anchors our historic site and was designated a National Treasure in 2015 and a National Historic Landmark in 2016.

""True emancipation lies in the acceptance of the whole past, in deriving strength from all my roots, in facing up to the degradation as well as the dignity of my ancestors."
"

- Pauli Murray, Proud Shoes: The Story of an American Family

Why is it important to know about Pauli Murray?

Pauli Murray's vision for a just and equitable world is a beacon of hope during troubled times. Her social justice tactics, legal strategies, speeches, letters, books, sermons, and poetry are models for our ongoing activism aimed at dismantling the oppression s/he faced and we continue to face because of white supremacy, sexism and oppression based on sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.

Pauli Murray lived one of the most remarkable lives of the twentieth century. She was the first Black person to earn a JSD (Doctor of the Science of Law) degree from Yale Law School, a founder of the National Organization for Women and the first Black woman to be ordained an Episcopal priest.

Pauli Murray's legal arguments and interpretation of the US Constitution were winning strategies for public school desegregation, women's rights in the workplace, and an extension of rights to LGBTQ+ people based on Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Pauli Murray crafted a broad vision of justice, equity, and human rights using words as her primary tool in the fight for liberation. Pauli resisted categories of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation, wrestling with issues raised by her own racial identity, economic struggles, and sexual and gender identity. She aspired to an integrated body, mind, and spirit that aligned with a holistic sense of self.

The Pauli Murray Center invites you to visit the site to see our outdoor educational installation about the life of Pauli Murray and the history of the house. All other events are currently virtual.

Join the effort to establish an impactful and welcoming Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice that will activate visitors of all ages to be inspired by Pauli's legacy stand up and speak out for peace, equity, and justice. Our world needs this now more than ever.

"It may be that when historians look back at 20th century American history, all roads will lead to Pauli Murray . . . Civil rights, feminism, religion, literature, law, sexuality - no matter what the subject, there is Pauli Murray."

- Susan Ware, editor, Notable American Women: a biographical dictionary completing the twentieth Century.
