Movie Screening: My Name is Pauli Murray
- This event has passed.
September 11 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The Museum of Durham History, with support from the Pauli Murray Center, will host a free outdoor movie night on the lawn, featuring the Peabody Award-winning documentary My Name Is Pauli Murray on Friday, September 11, 2026 at 7 p.m. at Durham Central Park Pavillion (501 Foster St.).
The evening is part of the Museum’s programming connected to its current exhibit, To Love and Live Free: The 1986 Mayoral Recall and the Origins of Durham Pride, and leads into Durham Pride Week later in September. The event will explore the life and legacy of Durham-raised Pauli Murray while connecting Murray’s story to Durham’s history of LGBTQ+ activism and the ongoing work of the Pauli Murray Center.
Before the film, Pauli Murray Center Board Chair Jesse Huddleston will offer remarks providing local context about the Center’s work and its connections to Durham Pride, LGBTQ+ history, and activism in the community.
