To Buy the Sun 
Opens This Friday  
    
 
Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to stand, Pauli Murray refused to sit in 
the back of the bus; 20 years before the Greensboro sit-ins, she organized 
restaurant sit-downs in the nation's capital.  Durham native Pauli Murray not 
only lived on the edge of history, she seemingly "pulled it along with her."  
One hundred twenty-three years after her enslaved grandmother was baptized at 
Chapel of the Cross in Chapel Hill, Pauli Murray returned as America's first 
female African-American priest to celebrate her groundbreaking Eucharist there.  
A champion for human rights, Pauli Murray's struggles and insights resonate 
powerfully in our times.  Celebrate her history; create our future.  Join Hidden 
Voices, the Pauli Murray Project, and the Duke Human Rights Center as we 
commemorate the 100th anniversary of Pauli Murray's birth with a new play that 
explores the life and legacy of one of North Carolina's own.

     None of the Above
This new Hidden Voices project is a community-based project highlighting stories 
from students, parents, teachers, and administrators affected by the increase in 
long-term suspensions and attrition. How do current policies influence who 
succeeds in school? How do students, parents, and teachers measure or define 
success? What do these partners see as the purpose of public education? What 
effect does increased police presence have on learning? On attitudes toward our 
justice system? What role do public schools play in addressing and redressing 
social inequities? How do we support not only master teachers but master 
learners?      

 
Sincerely,
 
Lynden Harris and Kathy Williams

"Through Hidden Voices, I have been given the opportunity to triumph over abuse 
and homelessness by telling my story from an Islamic perspective.  Hidden Voices 
has given me the courage to speak out and to speak up. Now I speak for all women 
who suffer in silence. Thanks to Hidden Voices, I have truly been empowered."
