Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I am Karen Hunter, and on this day, November 20th in 1910, Anna Pauline Paulie Murray was born.

She was not just a pivotal figure, but a groundbreaker in so many

different ways, as you've heard yesterday in yesterday's podcast. But I wanted to spend some more

time with her because I think, you know, if we are not careful, some of these brilliant

geniuses will be lost in history, particularly in these times when we are living in a state of erasure.

I will not allow Paulie Murray to be erased, which is why this podcast is so important,

which is why the space we created called narrative is so important because unlike many

places where one person gets deified,

Pauley Murray is part of a collective.

She's part of a collective of brilliant lawyer, legal minds that got in a room together and bounced off of each other.

And that's the way forward.

In community, she was able to fight all kinds of things

that society says she was not supposed to be doing. She did them anyway. She did them anyway, including changing her name to Pauley. Okay. So up next, part two with Dr. Gray Carr, the people's professor and I have, is mostly him, though, talking about the great Paulie Murray and her contribution to our history. I hope you enjoy. And please let me know what you think. You can

follow me at Karenhuttershow.com. Leave a comment. Send me an email. I want to know what you think.

And if you are listening to this and you're not part of the Urban View family, get yourself a

subscription and join us. We need more brilliant minds, more useful hands. We have a fight on our

hands. And Paulie Murray actually has given us some insight into how we win. All right. Up next, my discussion with Dr. Gray Carr on Paulie Murray. Happy birthday. So just like before when they stop you in the 11th grade, they say, no, we're not going to convict you on the race thing because we don't want to have this thing appeal. We're going to see this again in her life.

I'm going to mention one other example.

I'm kind of going to wind this to a close because we're still in the late 30s, early 40s, right?

So that's when she first attracts the attention of these lawyers, these NAACP lawyers.

And I just checked, well, almost there, not quite there.
