The civil rights hero, who grew up in North Carolina, played a pivotal role in desegregating America because her research shaped the essential legal argument for the Brown v. Board of Education case.

If that's not enough, Murray was a historic priest in the Episcopal Church, an early LGBTQ icon, and a feminist advocate.
