Jane Crow: The Radical Legacy of Pauli Murray


Listen Later

Guest: Rosalind Rosenberg is Professor of History Emerita at Barnard College, Columbia University. She is the author of several books including Beyond Separate Spheres: Intellectual Roots of Modern Feminism, and her latest, Jane Crow: The Life of Pauli Murray. Pauli Murray was the first African American to earn a JSD from Yale Law School and her legal work on the 14th Amendment provided the groundwork for Brown v.

The post Jane Crow: The Radical Legacy of Pauli Murray appeared first on KPFA.
