Anne Braden: Southern Patriot

Mimi Pickering, Anne Lewis. 2012. DV Cam.
Content Warning: This film contains mention of racist ideology.
Anne Braden: Southern Patriot is 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.
“Anne Braden changed my life: this film will change yours.” - Robin D.G. Kelley, author & historian
“A must-see film.” - Tim Wise, anti-racism educator & writer

It’s so sad that her speech in 1980 (~1hour 6 minutes) can apply to the climate today, in 2024. Spread her story and this great movie far and wide!

The real price black people have paid is that they lost their beautiful spiritedness.
