“Knowledgeable staff, beautiful space and a true landmark of durham history. I must visit if you’re in the area!” — Kenya Hairston, Google
“It was great to enter the childhood home of the GOAT too few know about. Although only 3 rooms are open those 3 rooms capture so much about Pauli. The stories outside the home provide even more. Whether or not you know about Pauli Murray, it's a wonderful place to visit to learn more.” — Shavonne Washington-Krauth, Google
