From the article:
"In 2018, the Pauli Murray Center celebrated the republication of Pauli Murray’s book of poems, Dark Testament. A related event, Dark Testament Oracle: Sermonizing and Poetics in the Tradition of Pauli Murray, highlighted “Black trans and gender fluid/non-binary/non-conforming visionaries and other community members committed to the transformation that Pauli Murray’s poetic life made possible.” Footage from this event, featuring former Pauli Murray Center Coordinator Dolores Chandler, was also incorporated into the documentary. A recent episode of Democracy Now dedicated to My Name is Pauli Murray also interviewed Chandler."
