00:00There are some people who now argue that you cannot teach American history without teaching about Pauli Murray.

00:07Pauli was a writer, a lawyer, a priest, a poet.

00:12Pauli was a feisty woman.

00:16My name is Pauli Murray.

00:19My whole history has been a struggle in a society dominated by the ideas that blacks were inferior to whites and women were inferior to men.

00:30Pauli was way ahead of the time.

00:33I chose for my senior paper, should Plessy versus Ferguson be overruled?

00:38My little argument went to the Supreme Court.

01:44If this country is to survive, we must live together in harmony.

01:55Pauli may not have realized they would be a beacon for so many folks.

02:01Pauli's time had not come.

02:04We have to work for a world in which it does come.

02:06You say I can't, I'll show you I can, even if I die trying.

02:14Oh!

02:16Oh!
