From 1968 to 1973, Pauli Murray taught in the American Studies Department at Brandeis, where she held the Louis Stulberg Chair in Law and Politics. She offered the university's first courses in Women's Studies, African-American Studies, and Legal Studies. A leading civil rights and feminist activist, Murray was instrumental in achieving the passage of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act that banned sex and race discrimination and in creating the National Organization for Women.
