Leonard Raybon with piano performances from Daniel Spiegal and vocal performance from UNC music students Eden Rosenbaum, Isabelle Kosempa, Cameron Davis, and Ethan Bunch. In addition, a historic recreation of the garmet worn by Lanah Sawyer made by E. Katherine Hargrove and sponsored by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation will be featured in the performance.

The one-night-only event will take place in historic Person Hall on Saturday, October 28, 2023. Admission is free.

*Though the History Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. Joseph Grégoire de Roulhac Hamilton’s intellectually dishonest historical and archival work promoted white supremacy. In contrast, Pauli Murray marshaled unassailable evidence and analysis in the service of racial and gender equality. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall in place of Hamilton Hall. An official request with the Chancellor is pending.
