Anne Braden is a journalist who for the past 30 years has been active in Southern civil-rights, civil-liberties, anti-war, and labor movements. In the late 1940s, she left daily newspaper work to become a writer and organizer with her late husband, Carl Braden, who died in 1975. in 1954, the Bradens were charged with sedition by the state of Kentucky after they bought and resold a house in a white neighborhood to a black couple. Anne was never tried, but Cart served almost a year of a 15-year sentence before being released on bond. The conviction was finally reversed after the Bradens organized a two-year nation-wide campaign that was part of the resistance movement against the repression of the '50s. This case is the basis of a book by Anne on race relations, The Wall Between, published in 1958. From 1957 to 1973, the Bradens worked for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), traveling the South as field organizers and later as executive directors of the organization. Anne also edited SCEF's publication, The Southern Patriot. Throughout this period, they helped black and white Southerners struggle together in common cause. Anne now serves as co-chairperson of the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic & Social Justice (SOC), a regional organization working with grass-roots groups, and is vice-chairperson of the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression.
