Happy feast day to the Rev. Dr. Pauli Murray! In 1977, Pauli Murray became the first Black female perceived person in the U.S. to become an Episcopal priest (feat. this photo from Pauli's ordination party! 🎉). Rev. Dr. Murray was elevated to the status of sainthood and included in the Book of Holy Women, Holy Men by the General Convention of the Episcopal Church in 2012.
