In this classic family memoir, Durham born civil rights leader Pauli Murray explores her maternal grandparents’ lives: from slavery, war service, and Reconstruction into the Jim Crow era, revealing a personal history deeply rooted locally in Chatham, Orange, and Durham counties. Proud Shoes is a particularly meaningful read for anyone interested in our region’s complex past.

The Chatham County Historical Museum invites you to join NC History Between the Lines, a monthly book club exploring our local area’s rich past through engaging reads that connect with historical themes. We’ll meet on the third Saturday of each month at 9:30 am at the museum for lively discussion and conversation.

Each month’s selection will reflect our rotating historical focus. Whether you’re a lifelong history lover or simply curious about the people and events that shaped our area, we would love for you to join us. Come read, learn, and share your perspectives as we connect our local stories to the larger sweep of American history.
