"This article, and the main article that I'm preparing this for, is somewhat of a personal and family mission.  In the interest of full disclosure, I started this talk page to explain my ""conflict of interest"" and what I am attempting to do.

Pauli Murray was one of my paternal aunts.
I share the opinion of many that she is a historical figure as well.

I have quite a bit of personal, anecdotal knowledge of this subject.
However, I'm attempting to reconcile that knowledge with verifiable fact.

Building this timeline is the first step in that process.
I intend to refine it over time, building references and expanding the main article to include more comprehensive information.

On the one hand, I acknowledge that my contributions in this area are intensely personal and could easily be colored by my personal knowledge of the person in question.  At the same time, I recognize my responsibility to the Wikipedia audience and I fully intend to do an objective as well as comprehensive job as I possibly can.

I welcome any assistance and/or guidance that anyone can offer.
