Description

Out at the Roxy celebrates the power and Pride of LBGTQ+ artists, stories, and lives with a monthly screening series that removes the door from the celluloid closet. 

Fifteen years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat, Pauli Murray fought for social justice. A non-binary Black lawyer, activist, poet, and priest, Murray influenced both Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall.
