LOS ANGELES — The West Coast Singer LGBTQ+ Chorus is premiering "Sincerley Yours, Pauli Murray," a work celebrating the civil rights pioneer, while the Pauli Murray Center in North Carolina faces the sudden termination of a $331,000 federal grant. 

The federal grant was terminated due to changes in grant policy enacted by the Trump administration. The funding loss means the Pauli Murray Center must eliminate a staff position, halt national educational development and cancel a planned exhibition.
