“When my brothers try to draw a circle to exclude me, I shall draw a larger circle to include them. Where they speak out for the privileges of a puny group, I shall shout for the rights of all mankind.” ―The Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray, lawyer, civil rights activist, and the first African-American woman* ordained an Episcopal priest.
(*Many wonder, given Dr. Murray’s writings about gender identity if Dr. Murray would identify as transgender or gender non-binary today.)
How can you speak up for the rights of others today?
