Students map civil and human rights in Durham

The Duke Human Rights Center’s Pauli Murray Project is a site honoring the Durham lawyer, activist, poet and Episcopal priest. As part of the project, students in a Center for Documentary Studies course taught by project Director Barbara Lau are using Google Maps to bring together oral history interviews and photographs about locations important in Durham civil rights history.

The maps on the site, https://paulimurrayproject.org, are part of the project’s growing efforts to engage Duke’s students with the community through dialogue. The project was featured in a Durham Herald-Sun story.
