The Story
About This Mural
A monochromatic portrait of Pauli Murray dominates this mural in Durham, rendered in detailed charcoal-style shading that captures the subject's distinctive glasses and thoughtful expression. The composition incorporates an orange silhouette of North Carolina alongside symbolic elements including scales of justice and an open book, reflecting Murray's groundbreaking work as a lawyer, civil rights activist, and author. Beneath the portrait, a handwritten quote emphasizes the foundational principles of community, equality, and reciprocity that guided Murray's lifelong advocacy for social justice and human dignity.
