The first lady, who had lobbied Franklin Roosevelt&rsquo;s administration to set up the facility, appeared one day unannounced, behind the wheel of her car, with her secretary and a man presumed to be a Secret Service agent as passengers. To Murray, then aged twenty-three, Roosevelt&rsquo;s self-assurance was a symbol of women&rsquo;s independence, a symbol that endured throughout Murray&rsquo;s life.<\/p>\n<p>Five years later, Pauli Murray, penned a letter to Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt protesting racial segregation in the South. The president&rsquo;s staff forwarded Murray&rsquo;s letter to the federal Office of Education. But the first lady wrote back. And so began a friendship that would last for a quarter of a century between Pauli Murray, who became a lawyer, civil and women&rsquo;s rights pioneer, and the first black woman to be ordained as an Episcopal priest, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who became a diplomat and human rights leader in her own right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"lectureSpeaker\" style=\"padding-top: 1em;\">Speaker: Patricia Bell-Scott<\/h2>\n<div class=\"speakerInfo\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/BellScott-150x150.png\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail alignleft\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" style=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/BellScott-150x150.png 150w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/BellScott-50x50.png 50w, \/\/www.umw.edu\/greatlives\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/10\/BellScott-75x75.png 75w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\">\n<p>Patricia Bell-Scott is professor emerita of women&rsquo;s studies and human development and family science at the University of Georgia.
