Download Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South AudioBook Free
Anne McCarty Braden (1924-2006) turned down her segregationist, privileged recent to be one of the Civil Privileges Movement's staunchest white allies. In 1954, she was priced with sedition by McCarthyist politicians who enjoyed on doubts of communism to preserve Southern segregation. Though Braden continued to be controversial - even within the Civil Privileges Motion - in 1963 she became one of only five white Southerners whose efforts to the movement were commended by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous "Letter from Birmingham Jail". Braden's activism in the end spanned almost six generations, making her one of the very most enduring white voices against racism in modern US record. Subversive Southerner is greater than a riveting biography of an extraordinary Southern white female; it is also a social record of how racism, sexism, and anticommunism intertwined in the 20th-century South as ripples from the Chilly Battle divided the rising Civil Rights Motion.
