Taylor Mary, dressed in a long lace dress with black combat boots, sits at the top of a grassy hill under a magnolia tree, dipping back and forth in a white wooden rocking chair. Moving in and out of the tree’s shade, she inscribes clothespins with quotes from the Rev. Pauli Murray for an ancestral altar in Murray’s memory.<\/span><\/p>\n

Down the hill, hundreds have gathered this Saturday to celebrate the <\/span>grand opening<\/span><\/a> of the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice after 15 years of renovation. The event, centered on Murray\u2019s childhood home on Carroll Street, commemorates a Durham change-maker, a historical figure whose significance fits no single category.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Maryland in 1910, Murray moved to Durham to live with an aunt and grandparents. <\/span>As an adult, Murray accumulated many titles: writer, activist, agitator, reverend and trailblazer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Murray became active in civil rights in the 1930s, working to end segregation in public transport before joining the women\u2019s rights movement. Murray later earned law degrees from Howard University and Yale Law School and in 1977 was ordained as an <\/span>Episcopal priest<\/span><\/a>, earning recognition at the time as the first Black female in that role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet Murray\u2019s gender identity was complicated. The activist questioned gender and sexuality at a time when being openly queer was illegal, even <\/span>wondering in writing<\/span><\/a> whether this was, \u201cone of nature’s experiments; a girl who should have been a boy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the newly renovated house-turned-exhibit space, each tension of Murray\u2019s identity is on display. \u201cBetween Male & Female, Between Black & White, Between Homosexual & Heterosexual, Between Working Class & Middle Class,\u201d reads one section in the inaugural exhibit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is as much of a mosaic as Murray was.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tables line the street offering resources on voting in North Carolina, historical archives, and information on Triangle activist groups. Speakers present at the front of a white tent, while visitors watch the proceedings or engage with the stalls. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cars line the curbs of surrounding blocks, including one with a bumper sticker proclaiming, \u201cGet in, loser. We\u2019re smashing imperialism.” Next door, the Morehead Avenue Baptist Church has no spaces to spare for additional visitors. <\/span><\/p>\n

The scene is so stimulating that a sign offers a \u201clow sensory zone,\u201d a nearly empty area where a few chairs and tables sit away from the main lawn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While watching speakers discuss Murray, two women, holding a stroller between them, share a brief kiss. Nearby, Stormie Daie, a local drag queen, turns heads with bright blue hair and a light blue, silver, and black dress. She sits under the tent, fanning herself with a massive folding fan inscribed with the word \u201cSHADE.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rainbow pinwheels spin in the wind beside the tent. Attendees pull the wheels from a wagon and plant them on the ground. A little boy walks up, red pinwheel in hand, to lay his mark on the display.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse Huddleston, the center\u2019s board chair, breaks into an impromptu rendition of \u201cLean on Me\u201d to gather the group\u2019s attention and announce that poetry time has begun.<\/span><\/p>\n

The newly renovated home, painted blue and white, is a physical marker of Murray\u2019s existence and impact, says Angela Thorpe, executive director of the <\/span>Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a touchstone,\u201d Thorpe says, \u201cThis house bears witness to that existence.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"shoeMurray\u2019s childhood home has passed through several hands since the activist\u2019s death in 1985, and for some, the event is a reunion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running her hands along the home\u2019s newly painted walls, Clotilda Watson, 69, remembers her childhood there: \u201cSame walls, same door.\u201d The opening is an emotional experience for Watson, who lived at 906 Carroll St. from the time she was three years old, always knowing that Murray once occupied her home.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Murray\u2019s hands to Watson\u2019s and others, the house has been a home longer than a monument. Now, Thorpe believes it’s a home for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome home,\u201d Thorpe says to the crowd as friends of the center\u2014board members, political representatives, center staff, and Murray’s relatives\u2014move towards the house\u2019s entrance dressed in bright yellow, blue, and pink.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Two of Murray\u2019s relatives\u2014Rosita Stevens-Holsey, Murray\u2019s oldest living niece, and Lygia Yarborough, a local relative\u2014stand at the center, holding black scissors over a large purple ribbon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The two women slice through the ribbon. Later, small pieces of the purple band will be distributed to family members as mementos of the historic day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the distance, a pair of women\u2019s brown shoes hangs from the magnolia tree at the top of the hill. <\/span>The shoes pay homage to Murray\u2019s book \u201c<\/span>Proud Shoes<\/span><\/a>,\u201d <\/span><\/i>which <\/span>chronicles the stories of Murray\u2019s maternal grandparents’ lives through slavery and freedom. <\/span><\/p>\n

The shoes spin in the wind alongside photos of Murray on circular mirror pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pauli Murray Center is open.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
