Southern Patriot - Screening of the Anne Braden documentary (CKY)

In celebration of Black history month, join us for a screening and discussion of the film Anne Braden - Souther Patriot.

Anne Braden: Southern Patriot is a first person documentary about the extraordinary life of this American civil rights leader. Braden was hailed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail as a white southerner whose rejection of her segregationist upbringing was “eloquent and prophetic. Ostracized as a “red” in the 1950s, she fought for an inclusive movement community and mentored three generations of social justice advocates. Braden’s story explores not only the dangers of racism and political repression but also the power of a woman’s life spent in commitment to social justice.

“Anne Braden changed my life: this film will change yours.” Robin D.G. Kelley, author & historian

“A must see film.” Tim Wise, anti-racism educator & writer

Anne Braden: Southern Patriot was produced and directed by Appalshop filmmakers Anne Lewis and Mimi Pickering.
