To Buy the Sun 
March 22, The Stone Center at UNC-Chapel Hill, 7pm  
    
Bravo!  I was so moved by the play.  The acting, the props, the pacing all were 
superb, and what really bound them all together of course, and made them shine 
gloriously, were the words!  Thank you so much for this extraordinary play -- 
what an achievement. You really made me see and understand the struggles and 
passions of this most incredible woman. 


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.
 · March 22, 2011 The Stone Center at UNC-Chapel Hill, 7pm.  Free Admission.

Block2 Street Video Series in Raleigh
featuring Home is Not One Story 
Opens April 7 
     
Opening reception at The Block Gallery in Raleigh: 
Thursday, April 7, 5-7pm
 
This public art project brings stories from Home is Not One Story onto the 
sidewalk. The Town of Chapel Hill and the NCSU School of Design Media Lab 
collaborated with Hidden Voices to create short animations from first-person 
recorded and transcribed narratives. The animations offer a glimpse into our 
collective experiences of home, with stories from veterans, foster youth, those 
escaping violence and war, and many others.
 
The Block Gallery is located on the first and second floors of the lobby of the 
Avery C. Upchurch Municipal Building (aka City Hall, 222 West Hargett St., 
Raleigh 27601). At 6pm, the reception will feature performances by former Hidden 
Voices project participants Kate Brodie, Cecilia Hernaine de Davis, Jennifer 
Evans, Teri Hairston, Vimala Rajendran, Crystal Reaves, and Rremida Shkoza.
 
Block2 features films created by local video artists and community 
collaborations, curated by Neill Prewitt. Videos air from dusk to 3am in the 
window of Urban Design Center at 133 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh.
