Anne Braden was hailed by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 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. The documentary 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.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker Anne Lewis.
