Some, but not all, of the pictures in this slide show have captions that identify what is in the picture. When you click on a picture, you will see an enlargement of it and to the right of the picture you will see a caption that identifies it. If that caption does not appear, it may be because that picture does not have a caption, but it may also be because you have to do the following for the caption to appear. On the left-hand side of the upper tool bar against a white background, there is a lower-case "i" in a circle next to an arrow. Click on that "i" and if that slide has a caption, it will appear to the right of the picture. Once a caption appears for one picture, it will appear for all and you do not have to click the "i" again. When you want to exit that picture, click on the arrow to the left of the"i."

Sonia Pressman Fuentes

In April 2016, the National Park Service declared the childhood home of the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray in Durham, N.C. a National Historic Landmark. At that time, there was an exhibition inside the home, part of which was a wall containing the names of people, including Sonia's maiden name, found in one of Pauli's address books. Pauli was a friend and colleague of Sonia's at the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), where Pauli was a consultant in the Research Department. Pauli was an activist for the rights of women and African Americans, a lawyer, a poet, an author, and the first African American Episcopal woman priest.

Sonia received these two photographs from Patricia Bell-Scott, author of the 2016 book, The Firebrand and the First Lady: Portrait of a Friendship: Pauli Murray, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Struggle for Social Justice.

This is a picture of Patricia Bell-Scott pointing at Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's name on the wall. Several names below that is Betty Friedan's name and Sonia's maiden name, Sonia Pressman, is below that.
