What a moving excerpt about Frances Thompson. I did not know of her. No longer.

There's a great documentary about Pauli Murray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh4r95VBU2Q. I think of Pauli often when I walk along Central Park North. There's a small plaque honoring them in front of the building where they lived between Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd and Frederick Douglass.
