Red Salmon Arts

presents

a documentary film screening

of

Anne Braden: Southern Patriot (1924-2006)

by

Anne Lewis & Mimi Pickering

Free & Open to the public.

A first-person documentary about the extraordinary life of this American civil rights leader.

Braden was hailed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail as a white southerner who was “eloquent and prophetic.” Ostracized as a “red,” she fought for an inclusive movement community and became a mentor for generations of social justice activists.

Talkback with filmmaker Anne Lewis following the film.
