Abstract

Pauli Murray was a twentieth-century Black writer, priest, and legal thinker who has been, for the last two decades or so, the subject of a recovery project. As a result, Murray is now regarded as a crucial player in the history of civil rights litigation; in US feminist organizing and theology; and in Black feminist critique in relation to all of the above. Further, the recovery of Murray's contributions has coincided with the narration of Murray as someone who was (or might have been, in another time) trans. Following the lead of Isaac Julien's Looking for Langston (1989), and focusing on Murray's life and work as a poet, this meditative essay considers Pauli Murray as an enduring figure in and for a Black trans literary past.
