Did you know that in 1935, Pauli Murray took a stand for workers' rights by joining their first picket line?

✊🏾 After learning that a friend had been arrested for protesting the New York Amsterdam News’ refusal to recognize a new newspaper guild, Pauli participated in a peaceful demonstration. Many, including Pauli, were arrested that day, but a sympathetic judge dismissed the charges, letting the group return to the picket line. Pauli later described this experience as a crucial moment in a journey toward social activism, calling it “an important step in my gradual transformation” (Song in a Weary Throat, p. 129). 🌟 #PauliMurray #LaborRights #History #LaborDay
