My name is Paulie Murray

I was sent a Screener code to watch My name is Paulie Murray.

Before My name is Paulie Murray began I didn’t know who Paulie Murray was. Homeschooling Charlie teaching History is a Core Subject for us. I sat down to watch the movie when David came and sat beside me asking what I was watching. I mentioned the movie title to David and he said he hadn’t heard of Paulie Murray and I let David know I hadn’t either which was why I wanted to watch the movie.

The film began and before I knew what was happening I found myself drawn into her story. I learned things I didn’t know and so did David. by the time the Film finished I knew Charlie and I would need to study Paulie Murray for our History Class.

If My name is Paulie Murray comes out on DVD I plan on purchasing a copy for our Homescchool Library because this is a film I want to watch again and when my nieces and nephew are old I want to have them watch the movie as well. Because there is so much to learn through the Movie not only about History but the way people are treated.

:Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to surrender her bus seat, a full decade before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already knee-deep fighting for social justice. A pioneering attorney, activist, priest and dedicated memoirist, Murray shaped landmark litigation—and consciousness—around race and gender equity.

As an African-American youth raised in the segregated South—who was also Wrestling with broader notions of gender identity—Pauli understood, intrinsically, what it was to exist beyond previously accepted categories and cultural norms.

Both Pauli’s personal path and tireless advocacy foreshadowed some of the most politically consequential issues of our time. Told largely in Pauli’s own words, My Name is Pauli Murray is a candid recounting of that unique and extraordinary journey.
