Subversive Southerner
Catherine Fosl PH.D.
(Author)
Description
Anne McCarty Braden (1924-2006) rejected her segregationist, privileged past to become one of the civil rights movement's staunchest white allies.
In 1954 she was charged with sedition by McCarthy-style politicians who played on fears of communism to preserve southern segregation.
Though Braden remained controversial-even within the civil rights movement-in 1963 she became one of only five white southerners whose contributions to the movement were commended by Rev.
Martin Luther King Jr.
