Roots and Soul: A Journey through Pauli Murray's Durham is a 90-minute, 1-square-mile tour around the historic West End Neighborhood of Durham.

Tour goers will visit 5 stops and be inspired by Pauli Murray's legacy and the unique contributions of the Fitzgerald family and other community members to the educational, economic, and cultural fabric of Durham. Whistle Stop Tours and Conductors share emancipation strategies from the voices of a Black Civil War soldier, the Freedman Schools movement, and from unsung hero Pauli Murray - a relentless pioneer and activist of Black civil rights, women's rights, and LGBTQ rights. 📅 Saturday, October 24 | 10 – 11:30 AM 🎟 Advanced Registration Required: Sign up through the link in our bio
