And in case you go to DC before heading home from #GC80, you can visit Louisville Episcopalian and artist Ed Hamilton’s sculpture “The Spirit of Freedom” at the African-American Civil War Museum. https://t.co/xQ0cEMBa0x
You can learn more about her legacy through the @ABIatUofL Anne Braden Institute at UofL, the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, her book The Wall Between, the book Subversive Southerner, and @AnneBradenFilm.
For everyone coming to #GC81 who doesn’t know Anne Braden, I hope you’ll take time to learn about the work and legacy of this important Louisville Episcopalian.
#GC80
Anne Braden used her voice to speak truth to power and inspire and encourage generations of young people all the way up until her death. Watch this excerpt from Appalshop film "Southern Patriot"
📸 Appalshop, “Anne Braden: Southern Patriot,” Mimi Pickering and Anne Lewis, 2012
Dr. King commends Anne as one of six white allies in the South in his Letter From a Birmingham Jail, and her legacy still informs and inspires anti-racist work in Louisville today.
I am truly grateful for @SadiqaReynolds, who always tells the truth and centers the Black experience every time she speaks regardless of the room or audience 🙌🏽✊🏽
