Ann Braden: Southern Patriot
Date: 1/1/2012Call Number: V 663Format: DVDProducers: Appalshop Films - Anne Lewis, Mimi PickeringCollection: Videos in many formats – both camera originals as well as reference materials
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 whose rejection of her segregationist upbringing was “eloquent and prophetic. Ostracized as a “red” in the 1950s, she fought for an inclusive movement community and mentored three generations of social justice advocates. Braden’s story explores not only the dangers of racism and political repression but also the power of a woman’s life spent in commitment to social justice.

Freedom Bound tells the story of the SNCC voter registration campaign in Mississippi in 1963. Through interviews with poor black farmers who risked everything to register to vote, the film conveys the courage, determination and sacrifice which the common people of the South used to help end racial segregation. Containing much of the same interviews as We'll Never Turn Back, this film features rare footage of SNCC volunteers telling their stories of crossing the color line in rural Mississippi.
