ABOUT THE EVENT

This moving, in-depth biography follows an organizer, journalist, and white ally, who for sixty years participated in the most significant movements for racial and economic justice in this country’s most conservative region – The South. The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. praised Ann Braden’s steadfast activism in support of civil rights and civil liberties, but she was threatened, attacked, indicted, and labeled a “Communist agitator” and “race traitor” by white supremacists. Her conservative background gave her special insight into white racism, why it poses such a great obstacle to social change in this country, and what progressive white people can do to end it.

Special Guests:
Corinth Matera, English Teacher, South High School
Dr. Kathleen DeVore, Professor of English, Minneapolis Community and Technical College
Dave Snyder, Coordinator, Minnesota Asset Building Coalition Initiative
