A very good and timely book about a lesser known but significant figure in the struggle against oppression. Pauli Murray, born black and in a female body, transgender before the term was coined, developed a true commitment and belief that inequality hurts everyone and all injustice was wrong. Time and again while reading the struggles he fought are clearly still relevant today, Particularly the effects of the poll tax juxtaposed with the electoral college, and the red scare juxtaposed with the fear of communism used to block effective response to climate change.
