Happy Black History Month... Pauli Murray is an icon most don't know and a Black Female Lawyer that gave Thurgood Marshall and RBG the foundation for many of their landmark opinions.

“By the time this letter reaches the White House, I suspect you will have announced your choice to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Justice Hugo L. Black’s resignation,” Murray wrote. “Since I do not expect you to see this letter, it does no harm to amuse your administrative and secretarial staff as it passes up and down the line on its way to the waste basket.”

👩🏾‍⚖️Murray was the first person of color to earn a JSD at Yale Law School (after being rejected from Harvard Law School because of s*xism).
👩🏾‍⚖️Served as deputy attorney general of California in 1946.
👩🏾‍⚖️A prolific writer and protege of Harlem Renaissance poets Countee Cullen and Langston Hughes.
👩🏾‍⚖️One of the first Black writers accepted into the prestigious MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire.
👩🏾‍⚖️Helped found the National Organization of Women.
👩🏾‍⚖️Ordained as the first Black female Episcopal priest.

In 1943, 17 years before the Greensboro lunch counter sit-ins protesting segregation, Murray, then a law student at Howard University, staged a sit-in with other Howard students at a Whites-only restaurant on Washington, D.C.’s historically Black U Street. Murray wrote in a final law school paper that “separate” could never be "equal." Thurgood Marshall would later use a 700-page summary Murray wrote on racism and state law as the foundation of the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education.

Indeed, the influence of Murray’s legal work and activism has long been established among legal experts, including the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who credited Murray with helping to shape her legal reasoning on the issue of s*x discrimination. Murray’s thinking on the 14th Amendment was so important that Ginsburg listed Murray as an honorary co-author on her brief for the Supreme Court case Reed v. Reed.

Murray’s contributions to Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act is particularly influential. Murray pushed for s*x discrimination to be included in the provision.

Black History Month 2020 continues...On this third day, you may be wondering why the above quote reads familiarly... A similar phrase — "Democracy dies in darkness" — is now the slogan of The Washington Post. The quote is credited to 👨🏿‍⚖ Judge Damon Jerome Keith (July 4, 1922 – April 28, 2019) who was a United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and a former United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.

⚖Judge Keith's legacy includes notable cases that are impacting today's political climate. He ruled In United States v. Sinclair (1971), that Nixon's Attorney General John N. Mitchell had to disclose the transcripts of illegal wiretaps that Mitchell had authorized without first obtaining a search warrant. Keith's decision was upheld by the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court. This case contributed, in 1978, to president Jimmy Carter signing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).

⚖In 1974, Keith was awarded the Spingarn Medal from the NAACP. Judge Keith is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.In 2008, Keith received an honorary doctorate in law (Legum Doctor) from Harvard University.
