Have you seen this incredible bust of Pauli Murray, sculpted by artist Maysie Stone in 1933 title 'the Girl of a Thousand Faces'?

Stone was looking for models to hone her craft and Pauli volunteered to help a friend. Murray reflects that, "Since I would be graduating soon and my days would be free, I readily consented. Maysie seemed amused at my brash naïveté when I added that I knew all artists were temperamental but was prepared to put up with it. It turned out to be the reverse, and Maysie had to exercise great patience with me, for I was a fidgety model." 📸 Photo Credit: Shleshinger Library at Harvard
