Hope

The 2024 Pauli Murray quarter, part of the American Women Quarters Program, features the inscription “HOPE A SONG IN A WEARY THROAT”. Released in March 2024, the coin honors the civil rights icon, poet, and priest, with her eyeglasses-framed face depicted within the word “HOPE”

The phrase comes from her poem Dark Testament, where she writes, “Hope is a song in a weary throat.” This same phrase was used as the title for her autobiography, Song in a Weary Throat: Memoir of an American Pilgrimage. The coin has her name: The Reverend Dr. Pauli Murray

Comment: May 3, 2026; Paul Kantner. You’re supposed to immunize the expected mother with the T-Dap vaccine for Pertussis. The unborn baby learns about Whopping Cough. This is a necessary vaccine for a pregnant lady and her pregnancy.
