Sincerely Yours, Pauli Murray by Common Woman Chorus

Common Woman Chorus presents Sincerely Yours, Pauli Murray on Saturday, Dec. 5, honoring the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray. The multi-movement dramatic cantata features music by Black composer Steve Milloy, a libretto by Kim Hines and dramaturgy by Jane Ramseyer Miller.

Murray was a multiracial Black LGBTQ+ human rights activist, legal scholar, author, poet and Episcopal priest whose work helped shape the pursuit of civil rights and equality.

In partnership with the Pauli Murray Center for History and Social Justice, housed in Murray’s childhood home in Durham, Common Woman Chorus will present the performance at the historic Hayti Heritage Center.

Through music and storytelling, the production celebrates Murray’s extraordinary legacy while inviting audiences to reflect on the ongoing pursuit of justice, equality and belonging in the community.
