State Street | Celebrating, and Working for, Black and Trans Civil Rights

Diversity, equality and inclusion

Far too many civil rights heroes’ names are unknown. Consider Pauli Murray, a pioneering Black author, lawyer and civil rights activist. A legal scholar whose work directly influenced giants like Thurgood Marshall, Murray was widely acknowledged as the first Black woman to earn a J.S.D. from Yale. But despite a lifetime of groundbreaking achievements, Murray’s legacy has long gone underacknowledged.
