Homecoming: The Altar

  • The Pauli Murray Center 906 Carroll Street Durham, NC, 27701 United States (map)

Come celebrate Homecoming: A Pauli Murray Birthday Weekend!

Friday opens a weekend of honoring Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray and their fierce commitment to loving our human family during their 113th birthday year.

You are invited to join Whistle Stop Tours and Friends on PMC's front porch to build Pauli’s HeartShip altar and engage in ritual practices that offer guidance into radical release, transformation, and the imagining of our greatest freedoms.

Drop by the Center to leave an offering and we’ll warm you up with cider!

Pauli’s HeartShip was co-designed by Shambo Medina, King Sage, Amber Santibañez, Aya Shabu, and Taylor Mary Webber-Fields. 

  • Come by the Center anytime between 3PM - 5PM
