Cinque Northern talks about working on the documentary 'My name is Pauli Murray'. The film takes a look at the life of often unsung Civil Rights hero Pauli Murray, and the behind-the-scenes of her private life. Though she was not openly LGBTQIA+, at a time when that was frowned upon and dangerous, it informed some of her work. https://www.amazon.com/My-Name-Pauli-Murray/dp/B09DMPMWCP From Wikipedia: "My Name Is Pauli Murray is an 2021 American documentary film, directed by #BetsyWest and #JulieCohen, written by West, Cohen, #TalleahBridgesMcMahon and #CinqueNorthern.
