Wendy Mitchell talks to the team behind the film	en	/magazine/dest/graphics/favicons/favicon-32x32.png	Screen	https://www.screendaily.com/awards/the-theory-of-everything-the-making-of-/5081537.article	The genesis of The Theory Of Everything is more akin to a series of small sparks rather than one big bang. It all started when New Zealand-born, London-based writer Anthony McCarten was one of the 25 million people to read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History Of Time in 1988. “I was stunned by the profoundness of the ideas and inspired by the man himself,” McCarten remembers. “This guy was overcoming enormous physical setbacks and his scientific success was unprecedented. He was such a striking character, the dramatist in me was thinking, ‘What a subject for a movie or a play or a novel.’” The next spark came when McCarten read Jane Hawking’s 2004 Music To Move The Stars (later re-issued as Travelling To Infinity). “It was an incredible one-of-a-kind love story, extraordinary in the challenges they faced and the solutions they found.” His first port of call, nearly a decade ago, was to try to meet Jane Hawking directly. “I jumped on a train and travelled to Cambridge where Jane was living and presented myself to her at her door as a stranger, and I explained the vision I had for this movie, and she graciously allowed me to present the concept.” McCarten wrote it as a passion project ‘spec’ script. “It was a triple helix of three threads, the science and Stephen’s scientific breakthroughs; doing justice to the horror story of the disease, the relentless physical subtractions Stephen had to undergo and Jane’s role in helping him through those stages. And the third thing was the love story,” the writer remembers. The story we see in The Theory Of Everything spans25 years: Hawking’s studies at Cambridge, his meeting Jane and having children, being diagnosed with motor neurone disease (commonly known as ALS in the US), his scientific breakthroughs and the dissolution of their marriage. McCarten’s passion for the unique story attracted Los Angeles-based producer Lisa Bruce, with whom he shares a mutual agent (Craig Bernstein at ICM). Bruce saw an early draft of the script in 2008 and knew the project represented “a wonderful opportunity”. “As a female producer, you rarely read scripts that portray the female characters as complex or layered or interesting as males,” Bruce says. “In theatrical films you often don’t find the females to be as key to the storyline.” Also, she adds: “It’s rare to be able to make a love story anymore.” The pair had Jane Hawking’s blessing (and book rights) and took the project to director James Marsh, an Oscar winner for documentary Man On Wire whose fictional credits included the middle film of the Red Riding trilogy and IRA drama Shadow Dancer. Marsh said the material appealed to him because “it’s not a standard biography of Stephen. The idea was hanging the story on two central characters, to see Jane and Stephen examining their lives in a personal way.” The Working Title connection With that creative trio now set, the next spark came when Bruce sent the script to Eric Fellner - she had previously worked with Working Title on TV movie Mary And Martha. An answer came a speedy 11 hours later. As Fellner recalls: “I read it and immediately called her and said, ‘We need to do this.’” Working Title had never tried to develop a Hawking project of its own. “We didn’t know there was a story to be told that would be as engaging as this one,” Fellner recalls. “It was so emotional, so fascinating, so uplifting. It was everything I thought it wouldn’t be. It was really surprising.” Working Title started financing the $15m project - a modest budget for a period film that spans 25 years - and turned to its long-time partners at Universal. “David Kosse and Donna Langley both loved it, and were very supportive,” Fellner explains. “Kosse in particular was very, very involved in making this film happen.” (Universal’s Focus Features came on to release the film in the US when it was in late post-production.) “Our mantra at Working Title is to make any film feel as big as possible and as global as possible, and make it interesting and exciting for a worldwide audience. Within choices of heads of department you find people who are going to make cinema, not just a small British movie,” Fellner explains. Fellner knew Marsh was the right director to lead such a project: “We’d always wanted to work with James. It was just a question of time and finding the right material.” It was a fruitful collaboration. “I like to have an ongoing creative dialogue with every director I work with, some love that, some resist it,” Fellner says. “James was a fantastically collaborative partner, he took what he felt was useful and good and argued his case when he needed to. He made the film he wanted to make. We worked very well together.” Marsh agrees he had a great dialogue with Working Title, and he pays tribute in particular to Working Title’s new VP of development, Lucas Webb. Webb says: “What I particularly love about James is that his background in documentaries means he is always searching for the truth, the veracity, the authenticity. He was always open to ideas, always collaborative but also knew his mind, so really struck a perfect balance.” Fellner says reteaming with Bruce was also a strong collaboration. “She’s very committed, very practical and very knowledgeable.” She was also willing to listen to advice when needed from Working Title, because The Theory Of Everything was bigger than any production she had run before. Bruce says: “Working Title is very film-maker oriented, they don’t want to take the story away. Eric particularly was honoured that we had pushed this rock up a hill [before we brought it to them], this wasn’t a troubled script that needed a lot of work.” The perfect cast The next step was casting, and the shortlist of young UK actors who could play Hawking had always included Eddie Redmayne. Fellner had worked with him on Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables. “He was stunning in Les Mis and blew us away. If James was excited in working with him, we were on board because we knew what he could do.” But Fellner adds that the young actor “exceeded expectations… he created such an extraordinary transformation”. Redmayne was surprised at how rich a love story the script offered. “I was sent a script and thought it was going to be a biopic of Stephen’s life but what I read was a complicated and passionate love story about two extraordinary human beings. It was unlike anything I’d read before.” With a zeal for the material, Redmayne was determined to land the job, and then realised what he had gotten himself into, he recalls with a laugh. “You’re in that process of trying to persuade people that you can do something, you do it with a blind confidence to make them believe in you, then you get the job and you have no idea how to go about it.” The blind confidence had worked - Marsh says once he met Redmayne he knew he had his Stephen Hawking. “The performance was demanding physically - in some scenes he was just able to use his eyebrow, cheek and lips. It’s about a man falling apart bit by bit, but the greater burden is to make the emotional life of this character available at every stage,” Marsh recalls. “To make that character as alive in a wheelchair as he is at the beginning of the film, that’s the achievement of Eddie’s performance.” For Jane Hawking, Fellner knew the role “is not as showy but it’s so pivotal”. Bruce adds: “It was daunting to cast Jane, because towards the end of the movie she has to physically carry the movie, she becomes your active protagonist.” As Marsh says: “I’d had my eye on Felicity [Jones] for a while, she’s such a smart actress. “When we brought the two of them together you could see that chemistry. It felt like a good foundation for the research they had to do.” As Jones remembers: “James, Eddie and I met in Copenhagen [Marsh’s adopted home] early on, and started discussing the characters and the film in a spirit of collaboration. It felt special to have three people having similar attitudes working with each other.” Jones and Redmayne conducted their individual preparation and research, and brought those ideas to rehearsals. Redmayne did his homework for four months. That meant reading Hawking’s scientific work, watching old videos of him (and recreating tiny facial movements in the mirror), attending a motor neurone disease clinic and visiting families in their homes (Jones joined him for the latter). Redmayne also had to train his muscles, with a dance teacher, allowing him to put his body in contorted positions for hours at a time. As much as he had to get the physical side correct, he could not let his performance become a physical impersonation. “The disease was secondary to him, and this script wasn’t about his disease,” Redmayne says. He met Hawking for the first time only about five days before the shoot began, and the actor recalls: “It was that force of personality that came through. His humour and wit and mischief. And that was wonderful; it was the last component to take into the shoot.” During the two weeks of official rehearsals, Redmayne said it was important he and Jones worked on having a physical “sixth sense” with each other. “Jane becomes like an extension of Stephen, physically they become almost the same person.” Jones agrees: “We were dependent on each other to find characters separately but it needed this work together.” “Eddie would bring back research and ideas, and Felicity was developing her own idea from the books and people she was meeting,” Marsh adds. “As we were filming I wouldn’t say we were improvising in the traditional sense of the word, it’s more about creating a freedom for actors to explore on set as well.” Jones picked up on Marsh’s directing style immediately. “What’s incredible about James is he is a very sensitive director and he is highly attuned to your needs as an actor. He gave us a safety net to let us explore the characters on set.” The approach worked, as the characters came alive on set. “It was fascinating to see these two young actors do this dance with each other. Their work defines the film,” says Marsh. In just one example of the director empowering the actors, Jones recalled the day that shooting an emotional scene between Stephen and Jane wasn’t quite working. “We did take after take, it felt very overacted. It wasn’t very organic. So James said, ‘Forget everything we’ve been doing before, don’t say words if you don’t want to say them.’” In another example, “The scene of them running down the hill, that came out of rehearsal, that was a moment we wanted to show this couple in a whirlwind of romance and passion. We watched scenes of Splendor In The Grass, to capture that spirit of first love,” Jones remembers. With so much riding on their performances, the director, somewhat unusually, also let them see rushes every day. It is that kind of openness that leads Redmayne to enthuse: “I’ve never worked with someone who is so emboldening; James believes in collaboration in the truest sense of the word. He encourages every department to get involved. He encouraged everyone to have a voice, I describe him as the great maestro conductor.” A daunting shoot That conductor was facing challenges of his own - The Theory Of Everything was the largest film Marsh had worked on, yet it felt like a natural progression for him. “It was fantastic. I had a budget and a story to allow you to put on screen what was in your head. I also had the chance for the first time to do some bigger set pieces, like the May ball scene. It had to have a certain scale.” “We mostly needed time, and that’s what [Working Title] were giving us,” Bruce says of the 48-day shoot. The logistical challenges included not being able to shoot in sequence - a particular hurdle for Redmayne portraying the illness’s different physical stages. That was because of the film’s 50 locations. There were only a few sets built, such as the main house interior and Stephen’s dormitory room. The production would sometimes move between locations on a single shooting day. “It was daunting, there was a lot of location scouting,” Bruce remembers, noting that cinematographer Benoit Delhomme was also along for the scouts. “James is really great with choosing locations - he’s open and specific at the same time.” Marsh did not want to use intertitles (‘two years later’) to let the audience know about the film’s timeline; instead he wanted locations, production design, costume and hair and make-up to mark the passage of time. “We were visually jumping to know where we were [in time],” Bruce explains. “James also wanted the ageing to be seamless… you really notice Stephen’s ageing because of the disease. You see the weight of Jane’s life underneath her eyes or with her posture.” The look of the film, shaped by Marsh and Delhomme, has an almost cheerful feel, not a gritty look at grey old England. “Benoit and I talked a lot about what nostalgic memories feel like in your head, nostalgia can have an ache to it,” Marsh explains. “There were also conscious efforts to embrace light, that’s one of the great aspects of his scientific inquiries.” One inspiration for bold lighting was the work of Polish auteur Krzysztof Kieslowski. Marsh also went back to look at Joseph Losey’s The Servant (1963) because it “shot domestic space in an interesting way”. “It’s one of those films that didn’t have obvious reference points, I didn’t want to watch science films or films about disability. For instance, I didn’t rewatch The Diving Bell And The Butterfly,” Marsh adds. The music, too, had to be right, and Marsh convinced Working Title to let him use Iceland-born composer Johann Johannsson, who Marsh knew from the documentary world. “Johann’s work in the film has a delicate feel,” Marsh says. Johannsson enjoyed the collaboration and felt he was on the same page as Marsh: “It’s a film that you could easily ruin with the wrong use of music. We’re both very much on the side of restraint. I like to write music that is emotionally affecting and moves people in some way. But I’m very aware of not going over the line into sentimentality. “In many ways the emotion is stronger when you hold it back. There is so much emotion on the screen already from Eddie and Felicity, you don’t need to say it again with music. The music is there to heighten and underscore and to make things fly but it’s not there to create something that isn’t there already.” Marsh wanted any emotional response from the audience to be earned by the story and performances. “It’s something I’m very conscious of, I didn’t want to make the catharsis of the film too easy,” he says. “Truth comes from the details, that keeps you honest. Emotions aren’t there to be banged like a drum, you have to earn them.” The greater truth McCarten says he wanted the script to be “in the service of the truth. You can make the mistake of inventing too much but you can also make the mistake of inventing too little. If you just completely take a documentarian’s approach, then you have product that doesn’t do justice to the story. The use of poetic licence is always in the service of the truth not for sensation, to enhance it.” He told Jane early in the process that he needed artistic freedom for the story, and says “to her credit she never asked me to soften anything down… It’s not a documentary, it’s a work of art. I was very lucky that Jane and Stephen have the souls of artists, not parking wardens.” Bruce agrees it was a “tightrope” to walk with the real-life subjects, and their children, turning over their trust for this very personal story. “It’s precarious to make a movie about people who are still alive. There are some messier truths that they wouldn’t necessarily have chosen to see on screen, but now these are in there, there is a greater truth.” The final seal of approval came when the Hawking family watched the film. When Jane saw the film for the first time, she said she “was floating on air”. And Stephen had tears coming down his cheeks. Marsh remembers: “After he saw the film, Stephen said it was broadly true and I was really glad of that response.” In fact, Stephen Hawking was so impressed he decided to let the production use his computer for dialogue. Bruce explains: “When we were editing the film we just used our copy of an electronic voice. But Stephen’s electronic voice is very specific, the cadence, it’s basically copyrighted by him. He said, ‘Would you like to use my actual voice?’ So that was like the biggest present. It was the equivalent of him hugging you.”

Hawking, whose memoir Travelling to Infinity was used as a source for James Marsh’s The Theory of Everything (2014), said that despite her pleading with producers to remain faithful to her book, inaccuracies were permitted in order to keep the running time to a minimum. “I knew if there were mistakes in the film that they were going to be immortalised, which they have been,” she said. Speaking at the Henley literary festival, Hawking added: “I found that very irritating and I didn’t want it to happen. Don’t ever believe what you see in films.” The Theory of Everything followed the couple’s life together, from their first meeting in 1962 until he left her for a carer 30 years later. But Hawking’s widow has taken issue with the circumstances of that first meeting (in St Albans, not Cambridge; Jane was a schoolgirl rather than a student), as well as the film’s compression of events and characters. Hawking took particular issue with what she felt was a glossing-over of the logistical difficulties which consumed much of her life, caring for both her husband and three small children, and frequently attending physics conferences abroad with them all. “The film really only shows that part of our lives in Cambridge,” she said. “Our many foreign travels were ignored altogether – for example, our honeymoon was spent at a physics conference at Cornell University in upstate New York. “I’m sorry to say that none of these extensive travels – with all the organising, packing for a family with a severely disabled member, transporting them, driving them, as well as the usual day-to-day care – really appears in The Theory of Everything. “I asked for a frenzied fast-forward version – even simply getting all the suitcases, wheelchair and passengers in the car to represent this aspect of our lives – but I was told this was not possible because of the time constraints.” When the film was first released, Hawking raised some concerns about “the compromises that one has to make for the film industry” and the fact “I didn’t seem to have any friends or relations at all”. But she also praised the performances and called it “a beautiful film”. Others took further issue with the adaptation and its apparent traducing of Jane’s role in furthering Stephen’s life and work. Michelle Dean wrote of her pity that the film had apparently failed to fully explore Jane’s thought processes in abandoning much of her own early academic ambition to support her husband. She also critiqued the “tidy” resolution of their romantic lives. “But instead of exploring that fascinating texture in a marriage, The Theory of Everything is hell-bent on preserving the cliche: it tells you that Jane Hawking quietly and gratefully parted ways with him when it became clear their affection for each other was a casualty of the strain. The movie presents the demise of their relationship as a beautiful, tear-soaked, mutually respectful conversation. “Of course that didn’t actually happen either. Jane’s book describes a protracted breakup that comes to a head in a screaming fight on vacation.”

The New York Times’ Dennis Overbye has criticized the film for eliding and oversimplifying Hawking’s scientific advancements, and indeed the film is more interested in Stephen and Jane’s personal life than in Hawking’s career. My colleague Dana Stevens writes, “More than a portrait of Hawking the scientist, this is a frank dissection of his long and complicated first marriage.” But how accurate is the movie when it comes to that marriage—and the couple’s relationships with friends and family? I read Jane Hawking’s memoir Travelling to Infinity, from which the film is adapted, and Stephen Hawking’s memoir My Brief History. What follows is a breakdown of fact and fiction in The Theory of Everything. On balance, the film is fairly faithful to Travelling to Infinity, but it makes Hawking out to be more sympathetic than he comes across in the book. The movie also changes the details of several events in the Hawkings’ lives for dramatic effect. Stephen Hawking At the beginning of The Theory of Everything, Stephen is a charming, if somewhat awkward, PhD student at Cambridge who excels at physics despite not putting much effort into his work. Hawking was indeed something of a brilliant slacker: Jane writes that he “had never been to a lecture” as an Oxford undergraduate; Hawking says, “I once calculated that I did about a thousand hours’ work in the three years I was there, an average of an hour a day.” As for his personality, Jane says in her memoir that she found Hawking “attentive and charming,” with a “way of hiccoughing with laughter, almost suffocating himself, at the jokes he told, many of them against himself.” But, she adds, “Stephen could be highly critical of people other than his closest relatives…He considered my friends to be easy victims and had no compunction in monopolizing the conversation at parties with his controversial opinions.” The Stephen played by Eddie Redmayne is far gentler and more sensitive than this description suggests. In life, as in the film, Hawking is a staunch atheist, a socialist, and an avid fan of classical music, particularly Wagner.* Brian In The Theory of Everything, Stephen has a roommate, classmate, and close friend named Brian. In real life, Hawking had no such classmate; Brian is a composite character. But his attitudes seem drawn from Jane’s descriptions of “Stephen’s fellow lodgers and research students” at Cambridge: “They talked to him in his own intellectual terms, sometimes caustically sarcastic, sometimes crushingly critical, always humorous. In personal terms, however, they treated him with a gentle consideration which was almost loving.” In one scene, Brian carries Stephen up some steps on campus and inquires after his sex life; Stephen impishly replies that he is still fully potent. In real life, Hawking did sometimes get physical help from his research assistant, but Jane claims that he did not ever speak openly about sex, “which for him was as taboo a subject as his illness.” The exchange between Brian and Stephen in the movie seems intended to make audiences understand that Stephen and Jane had sex, but may diverge from Hawking’s real-life personality. Jane Wilde Like Hawking, Wilde spent her childhood in Saint Albans, a small town north of London. In the movie, it’s implied that Jane goes to college at Cambridge, but in real life Wilde went to Westfield College in London, where she later got her PhD. She did, however, as the movie indicates, study Medieval poets from the Iberian peninsula, and Jane Hawking spends a few passages of her memoir explaining her academic work and her favorite poems. In the movie, as in real life, she is a faithful Christian.* In the movie, Jane has a fear of flying that is never explained. In the memoir Jane says she developed this phobia after a disastrous trip to Seattle when her firstborn son, Robert, was still an infant. She recalls overcoming this phobia years later with the help of a clinic specialized in flying phobias. She overcame her phobia before Hawking went on his fateful trip to Geneva; in the movie, though, the phobia prevents her from accompanying Stephen to Switzerland. The Meet-Cute In the movie, Stephen and Jane meet at a party, presumably at Cambridge, and Stephen later finds Jane at her church and invites her to dinner at his parents’ home. In reality, Wilde met Hawking at a New Year’s party hosted by a friend who had gone out with Hawking previously. At the time, Wilde was still finishing secondary school, and Hawking had just graduated with highest honors from Oxford and was embarking on his PhD. Jane writes, “we exchanged names and addresses, but I did not expect to see him again.” Hawking invited her to his 21st birthday party, after which they didn’t see each other for a few weeks. They only began dating after a chance meeting on a train some weeks later. The Diagnosis In the movie, Stephen is diagnosed with motor neurone disease (ALS) after he has met and wooed Jane, and Stephen’s friends break the news to her in a pub. In real life, Hawking was diagnosed after the pair had first met but before they started dating. In the film, the event that precipitates Stephen’s diagnosis is a nasty fall on a sidewalk on campus; in real life, his mother made him see a doctor after he fell while ice skating and “couldn’t get up.” He was given a life expectancy of two years. Wilde heard the news through the grapevine; she writes, “I was stunned. I had only just met Stephen and for all his eccentricity I liked him.” The Courtship In real life, Hawking and Wilde began dating after Hawking had been diagnosed with ALS, and their dates usually consisted of going to the theater and opera in London. The movie doesn’t depict these dates, but it does take a couple of anecdotes from Jane’s memoir: Hawking took her to the May Ball, an annual dance and festival at Cambridge, and in a room with “weird blueish lights,” he “explained that the lights were picking up the fluorescent elements contained in washing powder, which was why the men’s shirts were so visible.” This conversation is adapted faithfully. Jane also recalls in her memoir that she persuaded Stephen to dance after he had said “I don’t dance.” This, too, is in the movie. The movie portrays Stephen’s diagnosis as a turning point in the young couple’s relationship, manipulating the timeline for dramatic effect. In a memorable scene, Jane comes to find Stephen after his diagnosis and tells him that if he doesn’t play a game of croquet with her, she “won’t come back here again, ever.” This didn’t happen, and in fact Jane appears to have generally been submissive to Hawking, making such an ultimatum seem unlikely. But the ensuing croquet scene does draw from life: Jane writes in her memoir of a time when Hawking was “so absorbed in himself that when he offered to teach me to play croquet on the Trinity Hall lawn, for example, he seemed to forget I was there.” Stephen “scarcely bothered to veil his hostility and frustration, as if he were deliberately trying to deter me from further association with him,” a dynamic that comes through in that scene in The Theory of Everything. Stephen’s Parents In The Theory of Everything, Stephen’s father, Frank, warns her away from marrying him, and she responds by affirming their love for each other. This conversation is fairly true to life: Jane writes that Frank “was only able to warn me that Stephen’s life would be short, as would his ability to fulfill a marital relationship,” and she recalls telling Hawking’s mother that “I loved Stephen so much that nothing could deter me from wanting to marry him.” In real life, there was a great deal of tension between Jane and her in-laws; to her, they “seemed intent on undermining our relationship and our happiness” and seemed indifferent to the difficulties involved in taking care of Hawking. In the movie, this dynamic comes out when Jane and Stephen arrive at Stephen’s parents’ new house to find that there’s a steep hill to climb without easy access for Stephen’s wheelchair. This really happened; according to Jane, at her in-law’s cottage, “the hillside was little short of vertical.” The movie also portrays a dramatic confrontation between Stephen’s mother, Isobel, and Jane, after the birth of the Hawkings’ third child, Tim. This, too, comes directly from Jane’s memoir: “‘Jane,’ she said, adopting a stentorian tone, ‘I have a right to know whose child Timothy is. Is he Stephen’s or is he Jonathan’s?’” In the film, as in real life, Jane replies that there’s no way Timothy could have any father other than Stephen. In the book, Hawking’s mother replies, “we have never really liked you, Jane, you do not fit into our family.” In the movie, Jonathan overhears the exchange between Jane and Isobel, and then confesses his feelings for Jane, but in real life they had already acknowledged their attraction for each other. Hawking’s father really did make his own wine, and Jane really did like it, while Hawking “would wrinkle his nose in disgust.” Stephen’s Disability Redmayne’s performance captures the progressive symptoms of Stephen’s ALS: slurred speech, curled fingers, and the eventual inability to walk, dress himself, eat, bathe, or go to the bathroom without help. Jane writes, “one of the most perplexing stumbling blocks for some time had been Stephen’s absolute rejection of any outside help with his care.” In The Theory of Everything, Stephen relents after Jane meets Jonathan, who offers to assist the family in any way he can. In real life, Hawking’s obstinacy went on for several years, and he refused to accept help even when Robert, his oldest son, had to begin helping Jane take care of Hawking’s bodily needs when Robert was 9. Compared to the book, The Theory of Everything underemphasizes Stephen’s stubbornness on this issue, perhaps because to hammer home this tendency the way Jane does in Travelling to Infinity would make Stephen look like a narcissistic jerk. Jonathan In The Theory of Everything, Jane meets Jonathan Hellyer Jones, her church choir director, after her mother suggests joining the church choir. In real life, it was Stephen’s former physiotherapist who convinced Jane to join the choir for a Christmas carol service, and Jane met Jonathan not at an audition but at that carol-singing expedition. “I talked as I had not in years and had the uncanny sensation that I had met a familiar friend of long acquaintance,” she writes. In the film, as in life, Jonathan was a widower whose wife had died recently of leukemia. Jones’ relationship with the Hawkings developed as he taught the children piano and helped take care of Hawking’s physical needs, and what we see in the film reflects real life (although the scene where Jonathan tries to feed Stephen at the dinner table is invented). Jones and Jane really did fall in love, and they went on camping trips and other vacations together while Jane was still married to Hawking. But the movie’s suggestion that the two began a sexual relationship right as Stephen slipped into a coma is not in Jane’s memoir. (Jane says she remained faithful to Stephen and doesn’t specify when she and Jones, whom she later married, began sleeping together.) In the film, Jonathan promises to “step back” from the family after Stephen’s medical emergency, but in real life the coma didn’t affect Jonathan’s dynamic with the Hawkings; he remained close to and supportive of the family throughout that crisis. The Tracheotomy In The Theory of Everything, Stephen begins choking and coughing up blood during a concert in Geneva, enters a coma, and quickly receives a risky tracheotomy to save his life. In real life, this turn of events was less dramatic and more protracted: Stephen was en route to Bayreuth to see The Ring Cycle with friends; during a stop in Geneva, his friends were so concerned about his cough that they called a doctor, who diagnosed pneumonia and sent him to the hospital, where he was drugged to the point of unconsciousness and put on a ventilator. A Swiss doctor did suggest taking Hawking off the ventilator and letting him die, as in the movie, and Jane did respond, “Stephen must live.” But Hawking was brought round from the induced unconsciousness and lived on a ventilator for a few months afterwards before getting the tracheotomy. It was not, as the movie suggests, entirely in Jane’s hands to decide whether Hawking should get the tracheotomy. After the tracheotomy, Hawking learned to communicate with a rapid-eye scanner, which at first only typed out his communications, but which was later upgraded with a voice synthesizer. In the movie, Jane expresses surprise that the synthesized voice has an American accent; in her memoir, she describes it as “unnervingly like a dalek,” the cyborg race from Dr. Who. Elaine In the movie, Stephen meets Elaine Mason, who appears to be some sort of specialist, after the tracheotomy. Jane has had trouble communicating with Stephen via an alphabet frame, so she calls in Elaine to help, and Elaine has a miraculously easy time communicating with Stephen—which leads to a close, and ultimately intimate, relationship between the two. In real life, Mason was one of several nurses hired by Jane to help Hawking after his tracheotomy, and she did not have any particular background or facility in communicating via alphabet frame. (Jane writes that she was herself quite good at communicating via alphabet frame, “developing a shorthand code so that Stephen only had to focus on one letter for his meaning to become apparent.”) In Jane’s view, Mason manipulated Hawking and undermined Jane’s role in the family. The other nurses told her, she says, that Elaine “was exerting undue influence over Stephen, deliberately provoking and exploiting every disagreement between us.” Perhaps it’s not surprising that Jane had less-than-fond feelings toward the woman who became her husband’s second wife; nonetheless, rumors that Mason abused Hawking made it into the press, and Hawking admits in his memoir that he and Mason “had our ups and downs.” The Separation The Theory of Everything depicts Jane and Stephen’s separation as peaceful and mutual. This is not at all how Jane describes it in her memoir. Mason and her husband accompanied the Hawkings and Jonathan on a vacation to France, where an argument erupted—after years of mounting tension. “Flames of vituperation, hatred, desire for revenge leapt at me from all sides, scorching me to the quick with accusations,” Jane writes. Afterwards, Hawking announced that he was going to live with Mason; during this period Jane says, Hawking “sought to control me, as if I was simply a piece of property.” She reports feeling worthless and unmoored after the separation, although eventually she and Hawking revived a friendship for the sake of their children. Hawking relays the tale of his separation from Jane in two sentences in his memoir: “I became more and more unhappy about the increasingly close relationship between Jane and Jonathan. In the end I could stand the situation no longer, and in 1990 I moved out to a flat with one of my nurses, Elaine Mason.” Stephen and Jane’s Children The Hawkings had three children, as depicted in the movie: Robert was born in 1967, Lucy in 1970, and Timothy in 1979. In her memoir, Jane writes that Tim “was larger than either Robert or Lucy at birth” and describes “panting for breath under the weight of the hefty infant.” This fact is captured on film: In The Theory of Everything, Timothy is played by an exceptionally large baby.

He had died inside a rusting bus that served as a makeshift shelter for trappers, dog mushers, and other backcountry visitors. Taped to the door was a note scrawled on a page torn from a novel by Nikolai Gogol: ATTENTION POSSIBLE VISITORS. S.O.S. I NEED YOUR HELP. I AM INJURED, NEAR DEATH, AND TOO WEAK TO HIKE OUT OF HERE. I AM ALL ALONE, THIS IS NO JOKE. IN THE NAME OF GOD, PLEASE REMAIN TO SAVE ME. I AM OUT COLLECTING BERRIES CLOSE BY AND SHALL RETURN THIS EVENING. THANK YOU, CHRIS McCANDLESS AUGUST ? From a cryptic diary found among his possessions, it appeared that McCandless had been dead for nineteen days. A driver’s license issued eight months before he perished indicated that he was twenty-four years old and weighed a hundred and forty pounds. After his body was flown out of the wilderness, an autopsy determined that it weighed sixty-seven pounds and lacked discernible subcutaneous fat. The probable cause of death, according to the coroner’s report, was starvation. In “Into the Wild,” the book I wrote about McCandless’s brief, confounding life, I came to a different conclusion. I speculated that he had inadvertently poisoned himself by eating seeds from a plant commonly called wild potato, known to botanists as Hedysarum alpinum. According to my hypothesis, a toxic alkaloid in the seeds weakened McCandless to such a degree that it became impossible for him to hike out to the highway or hunt effectively, leading to starvation. Because Hedysarum alpinum is described as a nontoxic species in both the scientific literature and in popular books about edible plants, my conjecture was met with no small amount of derision, especially in Alaska. I’ve received thousands of letters from people who admire McCandless for his rejection of conformity and materialism in order to discover what was authentic and what was not, to test himself, to experience the raw throb of life without a safety net. But I’ve also received plenty of mail from people who think he was an idiot who came to grief because he was arrogant, woefully unprepared, mentally unbalanced, and possibly suicidal. Most of these detractors believe my book glorifies a senseless death. As the columnist Craig Medred wrote in the Anchorage Daily News in 2007, “Into the Wild” is a misrepresentation, a sham, a fraud. There, I’ve finally said what somebody has needed to say for a long time …. Krakauer took a poor misfortunate prone to paranoia, someone who left a note talking about his desire to kill the “false being within,” someone who managed to starve to death in a deserted bus not far off the George Parks Highway, and made the guy into a celebrity. Why the author did that should be obvious. He wanted to write a story that would sell. The debate over why McCandless perished, and the related question of whether he is worthy of admiration, has been smoldering, and occasionally flaring, for more than two decades now. But last December, a writer named Ronald Hamilton posted a paper on the Internet that brings fascinating new facts to the discussion. Hamilton, it turns out, has discovered hitherto unknown evidence that appears to close the book on the cause of McCandless’s death. To appreciate the brilliance of Hamilton’s investigative work, some backstory is helpful. The diary and photographs recovered with McCandless’s body indicated that, beginning on June 24, 1992, the roots of the Hedysarum alpinum plant became a staple of his daily diet. On July 14th, he started harvesting and eating Hedysarum alpinum seeds as well. One of his photos depicts a one-gallon Ziploc bag stuffed with these seeds. When I visited the bus in July, 1993, wild-potato plants were growing everywhere I looked in the surrounding taiga. I filled a one-gallon bag with more than a pound of seeds in less than thirty minutes. On July 30th, McCandless wrote in his journal, “EXTREMELY WEAK. FAULT OF POT[ATO] SEED. MUCH TROUBLE JUST TO STAND UP. STARVING. GREAT JEOPARDY.” Before this entry, there was nothing in the journal to suggest that he was in dire straits, although his photos show he’d grown alarmingly gaunt. After subsisting for three months on a marginal diet of squirrels, porcupines, small birds, mushrooms, roots, and berries, he’d run up a huge caloric deficit and was teetering on the brink. By adding potato seeds to the menu, he apparently made the mistake that took him down. After July 30th, his physical condition went to hell, and three weeks later he was dead. When McCandless’s body was found in the Alaskan bush, Outside magazine asked me to write about the puzzling circumstances of his demise. Working on a tight deadline, I researched and wrote an eighty-four-hundred-word piece, published in January, 1993. Because the wild potato was universally believed to be safe to eat, in this article I speculated that McCandless had mistakenly consumed the seeds of the wild sweet pea, Hedysarum mackenzii—a plant thought to be toxic, and which is hard to distinguish from Hedysarum alpinum. I attributed his death to this blunder. As I began expanding my article into a book and had more time to ponder the evidence, however, it struck me as extremely unlikely that he’d failed to tell the two species apart. He wrote his diary on blank pages in the back of an exhaustively researched field guide to the region’s edible plants, “Tanaina Plantlore / Dena’ina K’et’una: An Ethnobotany of the Dena’ina Indians of Southcentral Alaska,” by Priscilla Russell Kari. In the book, Kari explicitly warns that because wild sweet pea closely resembles wild potato, and “is reported to be poisonous, care should be taken to identify them accurately before attempting to use the wild potato as food.” And then she explains precisely how to distinguish the two plants from one another. It seemed more plausible that McCandless had indeed eaten the roots and seeds of the purportedly nontoxic wild potato rather than the wild sweet pea. So I sent some Hedysarum alpinum seeds I’d collected near the bus to Dr. Thomas Clausen, a professor in the biochemistry department at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, for analysis. Shortly before my book was published, Clausen and one of his graduate students, Edward Treadwell, conducted a preliminary test that indicated the seeds contained an unidentified alkaloid. Making a rash intuitive leap, in the first edition of “Into the Wild,” published in January, 1996, I wrote that this alkaloid was perhaps swainsonine, a toxic agent known to inhibit glycoprotein metabolism in animals, leading to starvation. When Clausen and Treadwell completed their analysis of wild-potato seeds, though, they found no trace of swainsonine or any other alkaloids. “I tore that plant apart,” Dr. Clausen explained to Men’s Journal in 2007, after also testing the seeds for non-alkaloid compounds. “There were no toxins. No alkaloids. I’d eat it myself.” I was perplexed. Clausen was an esteemed organic chemist, and the results of his analysis seemed irrefutable. But McCandless’s July 30th journal entry couldn’t have been more explicit: “EXTREMELY WEAK. FAULT OF POT[ATO] SEED.” His certainty about the cause of his failing health gnawed at me. I began sifting through the scientific literature, searching for information that would allow me to reconcile McCandless’s adamantly unambiguous statement with Clausen’s equally unambiguous test results. Fast forward to a couple of months ago, when I stumbled upon Ronald Hamilton’s paper “The Silent Fire: ODAP and the Death of Christopher McCandless,” which Hamilton had posted on a Web site that publishes essays and papers about McCandless. Hamilton’s essay offered persuasive new evidence that the wild-potato plant is highly toxic in and of itself, contrary to the assurances of Thomas Clausen and every other expert who has ever weighed in on the subject. The toxic agent in Hedysarum alpinum turns out not to be an alkaloid but, rather, an amino acid, and according to Hamilton it was the chief cause of McCandless’s death. His theory validates my conviction that McCandless wasn’t as clueless and incompetent as his detractors have made him out to be. Hamilton is neither a botanist nor a chemist; he’s a writer who until recently worked as a bookbinder at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania library. As Hamilton explains it, he became acquainted with the McCandless story in 2002, when he happened upon a copy of “Into the Wild,” flipped through its pages, and suddenly thought to himself, I know why this guy died. His hunch derived from his knowledge of Vapniarca, a little-known Second World War concentration camp in what was then German-occupied Ukraine. “I first learned about Vapniarca through a book whose title I’ve long forgotten,” Hamilton told me. “Only the barest account of Vapniarca appeared in one of its chapters …. But after reading ‘Into the Wild,’ I was able to track down a manuscript about Vapniarca that has been published online.” Later, in Romania, he located the son of a man who served as an administrative official at the camp, who sent Hamilton a trove of documents. In 1942, as a macabre experiment, an officer at Vapniarca started feeding the Jewish inmates bread made from seeds of the grass pea, Lathyrus sativus, a common legume that has been known since the time of Hippocrates to be toxic. “Very quickly,” Hamilton writes in “The Silent Fire,” a Jewish doctor and inmate at the camp, Dr. Arthur Kessler, understood what this implied, particularly when within months, hundreds of the young male inmates of the camp began limping, and had begun to use sticks as crutches to propel themselves about. In some cases inmates had been rapidly reduced to crawling on their backsides to make their ways through the compound …. Once the inmates had ingested enough of the culprit plant, it was as if a silent fire had been lit within their bodies. There was no turning back from this fire—once kindled, it would burn until the person who had eaten the grasspea would ultimately be crippled …. The more they’d eaten, the worse the consequences—but in any case, once the effects had begun, there was simply no way to reverse them …. The disease is called, simply, neurolathyrism, or more commonly, “lathyrism.”… Kessler, who … initially recognized the sinister experiment that had been undertaken at Vapniarca, was one of those who escaped death during those terrible times. He retired to Israel once the war had ended and there established a clinic to care for, study, and attempt to treat the numerous victims of lathyrism from Vapniarca, many of whom had also relocated in Israel. It’s been estimated that, in the twentieth century, more than a hundred thousand people worldwide were permanently paralyzed from eating grass pea. The injurious substance in the plant turned out to be a neurotoxin, beta-N-oxalyl-L-alpha-beta diaminoproprionic acid, a compound commonly referred to as beta-ODAP or, more often, just ODAP. Curiously, Hamilton reports, ODAP affects different people, different sexes, and even different age groups in different ways. It even affects people within those age groups differently …. The one constant about ODAP poisoning, however, very simply put, is this: those who will be hit the hardest are always young men between the ages of 15 and 25 and who are essentially starving or ingesting very limited calories, who have been engaged in heavy physical activity, and who suffer trace-element shortages from meager, unvaried diets. ODAP was identified in 1964. It brings about paralysis by over-stimulating nerve receptors, causing them to die. As Hamilton explains, It isn’t clear why, but the most vulnerable neurons to this catastrophic breakdown are the ones that regulate leg movement…. And when sufficient neurons die, paralysis sets in…. [The condition] never gets better; it always gets worse. The signals get weaker and weaker until they simply cease altogether. The victim experiences “much trouble just to stand up.” Many become rapidly too weak to walk. The only thing left for them to do at that point is to crawl…. After Hamilton read “Into the Wild” and became convinced that ODAP was responsible for McCandless’s sad end, he approached Dr. Jonathan Southard, the assistant chair of the chemistry department at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and persuaded Southard to have one of his students, Wendy Gruber, test the seeds of both Hedysarum alpinum and Hedysarum mackenzii for ODAP. Upon completion of her tests, in 2004, Gruber determined that ODAP appeared to be present in both species of Hedysarum, but her results were less than conclusive. “To be able to say that ODAP is definitely present in the seeds,” she reported, “we would need to use another dimension of analysis, probably by H.P.L.C.-M.S.”—high-pressure liquid chromatography. But Gruber possessed neither the expertise nor the resources to analyze the seeds with H.P.L.C., so Hamilton’s hypothesis remained unproven. To establish once and for all whether Hedysarum alpinum is toxic, last month I sent a hundred and fifty grams of freshly collected wild-potato seeds to Avomeen Analytical Services, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, for H.P.L.C. analysis. Dr. Craig Larner, the chemist who conducted the test, determined that the seeds contained .394 per cent beta-ODAP by weight, a concentration well within the levels known to cause lathyrism in humans. According to Dr. Fernand Lambein, a Belgian scientist who coördinates the Cassava Cyanide Diseases and Neurolathyrism Network, occasional consumption of foodstuffs containing ODAP “as one component of an otherwise balanced diet, bears not any risk of toxicity.” Lambein and other experts warn, however, that individuals suffering from malnutrition, stress, and acute hunger are especially sensitive to ODAP, and are thus highly susceptible to the incapacitating effects of lathyrism after ingesting the neurotoxin. Considering that potentially crippling levels of ODAP are found in wild-potato seeds, and given the symptoms McCandless described and attributed to the wild-potato seeds he ate, there is ample reason to believe that McCandless contracted lathyrism from eating those seeds. As Ronald Hamilton observed, McCandless exactly matched the profile of those most susceptible to ODAP poisoning: He was a young, thin man in his early 20s, experiencing an extremely meager diet; who was hunting, hiking, climbing, leading life at its physical extremes, and who had begun to eat massive amounts of seeds containing a toxic [amino acid]. A toxin that targets persons exhibiting and experiencing precisely those characteristics and conditions …. It might be said that Christopher McCandless did indeed starve to death in the Alaskan wild, but this only because he’d been poisoned, and the poison had rendered him too weak to move about, to hunt or forage, and, toward the end, “extremely weak,” “too weak to walk out,” and, having “much trouble just to stand up.” He wasn’t truly starving in the most technical sense of that condition. He’d simply become slowly paralyzed. And it wasn’t arrogance that had killed him, it was ignorance. Also, it was ignorance which must be forgiven, for the facts underlying his death were to remain unrecognized to all, scientists and lay people alike, literally for decades. Hamilton’s discovery that McCandless perished because he ate toxic seeds is unlikely to persuade many Alaskans to regard McCandless in a more sympathetic light, but it may prevent other backcountry foragers from accidentally poisoning themselves. Had McCandless’s guidebook to edible plants warned that Hedysarum alpinum seeds contain a neurotoxin that can cause paralysis, he probably would have walked out of the wild in late August with no more difficulty than when he walked into the wild in April, and would still be alive today. If that were the case, Chris McCandless would now be forty-five years old.

Moviegoers, however, may not realize that 70 percent of feature-length silent films made in America have been completely lost to time and neglect. The Library of Congress today unveiled “The Survival of American Silent Feature Films: 1912-1929,” the first comprehensive survey of American feature films that survived the silent era of motion pictures. Previous documentation established that nearly 11,000 (10,919) silent feature films of American origin were released from 1912 through 1929. There was, however, no definitive, systematic study on how many of these films still existed and where any surviving elements were located in the world’s leading film archives and private collections. The groundbreaking study reveals some startling facts about America’s endangered silent-film heritage. Only 14 percent—about 1,575 titles—of the feature films produced and distributed domestically from 1912-1929 exist in their original format. Five percent of those that survived in their original 35 mm format are incomplete. Eleven percent of the films that are complete only exist as foreign versions or in lower-quality formats. “The Library of Congress can now authoritatively report that the loss of American silent-era feature films constitutes an alarming and irretrievable loss to our nation’s cultural record,” said Librarian of Congress James H. Billington. “We have lost most of the creative record from the era that brought American movies to the pinnacle of world cinematic achievement in the 20th century.” “This report is invaluable because the artistry of silent film is essential to our culture,” said Martin Scorsese, film-preservation advocate and director of “Hugo,” a loving tribute to silent film. “Any time a silent picture by some miracle turns up, it reminds us of the treasures we’ve already lost. It also gives us hope that others may be discovered. The research presented in this report serves as a road map to finding silent films we once thought were gone forever and encourages creative partnerships between archives and the film industry to save silent cinema.” In addition to the establishment of the National Film Preservation Board (NFPB)—which is comprised of film-industry leaders and experts—the National Film Preservation Act of 1988 called for the Librarian of Congress to establish initiatives to protect the nation’s film heritage. One of the Librarian’s first directives to the board was to support archival research projects that would investigate the survival rates of American movies produced in all major categories during the 19th and 20th centuries. Commissioned by the NFPB, the study was written by historian-archivist David Pierce and published by the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). It is one of several congressionally mandated studies of the nation’s cinematic and recorded sound patrimony. The report is available as a free download at the NFPB’s website as well as CLIR’s website. External As part of the research for the study, Pierce prepared a valuable inventory database of information on archival, commercial and private holdings—who has custody of the films, how complete they are, the films’ formats and where the best surviving copies can be found. The report concludes that the existence of the database will allow the repatriation of lost American movies. Films initially thought lost have been found—and subsequently repatriated—in Australia, New Zealand, France and many other countries. “As efforts continue to help bring back American silent films to the U.S. and perhaps rediscover even more now believed lost, we must recognize the magnificent contribution made by dozens of foreign film archives in saving many hundreds of U.S. films over the decades,” said Gregory Lukow, chief of the National Audio Visual Conservation Center-Packard Campus. “Countless films would no longer exist if not for the heroic efforts made by these overseas archivists who have played a major role in preserving not only their own national heritage, but also that of the United States.” Some of the report’s findings: Fourteen percent of the feature films produced domestically from 1912-1929 survived in their original-release 35 mm format. Eleven percent of the films are complete as foreign versions or on lower-quality formats, such as 28 mm or 16 mm. Five percent are incomplete, either missing a portion of the film or existing only as an abridged version. Of the more 3,300 films that survived in any form, 26 percent were found in other countries. Of the silent films located in foreign countries, 24 percent already have been repatriated to an American archive. The Czech Republic had the largest collection of American silent films found outside the United States. The vulnerability of nitrate film stock to fire and deterioration and the industry’s practice of neglecting or destroying prints and negatives contributed to the loss to the nation’s film heritage. Among some of the notable films considered lost in their complete form are Lon Chaney’s “London After Midnight” (1927); “The Patriot” (1928); “ Cleopatra” (1917); “The Great Gatsby” (1926), and all four of Clara Bow’s feature films produced in 1928, including “Ladies of the Mob.” Only five of Will Rogers’ 16 silent features survived and 85 percent of features made by Tom Mix—Hollywood’s first cowboy star—are lost. Silent-screen legend Mary Pickford paid for the preservation of her films, ensuring that most of them survived. Of her 48 features, eight were lost from the first three years of her career. Pickford’s 1911 short—“Their First Misunderstanding”—was recently discovered in an old barn. It was the first time that she was credited by name in a film. “Their First Misunderstanding” has been preserved by the Library of Congress, which hold’s the world’s largest collection of American silent features. More than half of the Library’s collection of silent features cannot be found anywhere else. The report makes several recommendations: Develop a nationally coordinated program to repatriate U.S. feature films from foreign archives. Collaborate with studios and rights-holders to acquire archival master film elements on unique titles. Encourage coordination among American archives and collectors to identify and preserve silent films that currently survive in lower-quality formats. Develop a campaign to document unidentified titles. The Library of Congress has sponsored annual workshops to identify unknown and lesser-known titles. Create an audience and appreciation for silent feature films through exhibition and screenings.

thrillers and sci-fi epics to animated classics and true-to-life biopics, this collection spotlights our favorite stories that made it big in Hollywood.	en	/blog/favicon-32.jpg	Audible Blog	https://www.audible.com/blog/top-100-screen-adaptations-audible-essentials	It’s a debate that’s raged since the dawn of contemporary pop culture—when it comes to screen adaptations, do you have to read or listen to the original before you watch? Many bookworms consider it borderline blasphemy to queue up a film before finishing the source material; countless others have discovered a favorite author through an adaptation of their work. While we may be a bit biased toward audio storytelling, there’s no denying the unique magic of a page-to-screen adaptation, especially one that masters all formats. As the category of great page-to-screen storytelling continues to grow, we scoured our libraries, grilled audiophiles and cinephiles, and vetted the entire Audible catalog for the 100 greatest screen adaptations for watchers and listeners alike. These are the stories that inspired some of the greatest on-screen stories of all time, from Academy Award winners and cult classics to must-see TV. However you experience them, we assure you: They're well worth the price of admission. Explore the depths of human drama The full spectrum of the human experience shines in fiction, including these acclaimed film and TV adaptations. Effectively incorporating realism and emotional resonance, these masterful tales have captured the hearts of listeners and watchers alike. Francis Ford Coppola wrote the script for his mafia masterpiece with the story's original author, Mario Puzo, crafting a saga of crime, power, and family. Anna Karenina director Joe Wright is no stranger to book adaptations, but this heartbreaking WWII-era tale of innocence lost is one to remember. A coming-of-age romance that follows first love and first heartbreak, this listen (and its big-screen accompaniment) explores the beauties and pains of desire. This novel, based on the true story of a Nazi Party member credited with the quiet rescue of 1,200 Jewish people, inspired Spielberg's Best Picture winner. Gregory Peck gave an unforgettable performance as Atticus Finch, a lawyer representing a Black man in 1930s Alabama, in the 1962 adaptation of Harper Lee's classic. This moving narrative centers on the unwavering love between Fonny, a sculptor falsely imprisoned for an unthinkable crime, and Tish, who works tirelessly to free him. Ken Kesey's searing takedown of flaws in midcentury America's psychiatric institutions is unforgettable for its characters, including the cold Nurse Ratched and jail-dodging McMurphy. In perhaps the most iconic film role of her career, Audrey Hepburn brought a wide-eyed naivety to Holly Golightly, an eccentric woman who depends on social outings to survive. The novel that served as the basis for the 2015 film of the same name recounts the story of Joy, an abducted woman, through the eyes of her son Jack, who was fathered by his mother's captor. The Coen Brothers (of Fargo fame) further cemented their place in film history with the 2007 adaptation of this raw Western that follows an everyman hunted after making off with money he found in the desert. Stevens (exquisitely portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins) is the quintessential English butler: prim, proper, and refined. As he comes to the end of his career, he's left to ruminate on 30 years of service. John Coffey, a gentle giant with supernatural abilities accused of the unthinkable, broke our hearts. On film, Michael Clarke Duncan shattered us all over again with a stirring performance. The Emmy-nominated adaptation of Sally Rooney's sophomore novel was a tender reflection of Connell and Marianne's story, one of love, intimacy, shame, and belonging. This acclaimed short story following cowboy lovers Ennis and Jack inspired a film adaptation that served as a turning point in mainstream queer media. Laura Dern, who played Marmee in Greta Gerwig's 2019 adaptation, returns to the March household in this dramatized edition of a perennial favorite. An unflinching look at young heroin addicts living through addiction and poverty on the streets of Edinburgh, this experimental story broke the mold. Alice Walker's Pulitzer winner about Celie, a resilient woman facing poverty and abuse in early 1900s Georgia, inspired an acclaimed 1985 film and Tony-winning musical. Quiet but arresting, this listen and its correlating film center on Eilis Lacey, an Irish immigrant who finds opportunity and complication in 1950s New York. After a hospital stay, Pat finds himself looking for the bright side and seeks to reconnect with his ex-wife, a goal that shifts after meeting young widow Tiffany. The adaptation of this novel, which earned 12 noms at the 69th Academy Awards, stars Ralph Fiennes as a mysterious man dying of burn wounds in WWII Italy. Swoon for these stories of love and identity We can't help falling for these romantic page-to-screen adaptations—they just perfectly capture the excitement and nervous thrill of finding that special someone, even when up against the odds. A captivating blend of time travel and historical romance, this bestseller-turned-television-smash is an epic love story that spans the ages: from the Scottish Highlands to colonial America. Austen's enduring romance, which has been adapted time and again, is rich in commentary on class and gender, with a pairing that practically created the enemies-to-lovers trope. Played fabulously by Angela Bassett in the 1998 adaptation, Stella is a career-driven single parent who finds love (and a new lease on life) on a spontaneous trip to Jamaica. Netflix's adaptation of this sweet coming-of-age romance blends the fake-dating trope with the heights and pitfalls of teenage love, all beginning with the fateful sending of a few private letters. Millions around the globe have fallen in love with the Regency-era Netflix original born from Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series, a saga of courtships, rogues, and debutantes. Like John M. Chu's romantic dramedy starring Constance Wu and Henry Golding, the novel that inspired it is as much a gorgeous travelogue as it is a story of love, money, and social climbers. The story behind the 2015 Oscar nominee follows the blooming relationship between sales clerk Therese and housewife Carol, marking a historic departure from tragic queer narratives. Hugh Grant proved his rom-com credentials yet again in 2002 with his portrayal of Will Freeman, a charming cad who devises a scheme to woo single mothers, in About a Boy. Speculate on alternate worlds and far-off galaxies Fantasy and sci-fi are two genres practically made for the big screen. From sword fights and magical realms to journeys across the stars to speculative fic a little closer to home, these listens are pure imagination fuel. Boris Karloff’s performance as The Creature is synonymous with the dawn of sci-fi horror on film—a genre that may not have existed without Mary Shelley’s magnum opus. All three of Peter Jackson’s adaptations of the Lord of the Rings trilogy are exceptional, but The Return of the King stands out as one of the most decorated films of all time. Steven Spielberg’s 1993 blockbuster of the same name proved that this cautionary tale of ambition, avarice, and the commodification of life was a natural fit for film. Frank Herbert’s classic series redefined sci-fi forever, and inspired two massive hits: David Lynch’s funky 1984 cult favorite and Denis Villeneuve’s acclaimed two-part epic. The world of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? offered a compelling, ominous tone for Ridley Scott’s neo-noir, cyberpunk adaptation, Blade Runner. HBO’s take on the A Song of Ice and Fire series wove political intrigue and high fantasy, and created one of the biggest cultural phenoms of the past decade. Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote the screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s arresting 1968 film, 2001: A Space Odyssey, also penned this story, the movie's initial inspiration. A technicolor masterpiece, 1939’s The Wizard of Oz, based on this enchanting children's classic, completely revolutionized fantasy filmmaking. A sharp satire skewering authoritarianism and militarism, 1997’s take on Starship Troopers served as both an adaptation and critique of the source material. Though there’s eight film adaptations of the Harry Potter series, Alfonso Cuarón’s darker third installment is a spellbinding standout well-received by fans and critics alike. The Academy Award-nominated film (led by Matt Damon) expertly captured Andy Weir's brilliant hard sci-fi tale of Mark Watney, an astronaut stranded on Mars after a dust storm. More speculative than sci-fi, The Handmaid’s Tale is a distressingly prescient look at a theocratic, oppressive dystopia where women are little more than wives and reproductive vessels. Michael Sheen and David Tennant are delightful as angel and demon Aziraphale and Crowley in both the Prime Video series and this edition of the Gaiman/Pratchett collab. Steven Spielberg's 2005 film traded gentler notions of first encounters (phoning E.T.) for a more contentious meeting between man and alien inspired by H.G. Wells’s radio classic. Henry Cavill (who will be sorely missed going forward) masterfully captured the cool cunning of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's take on The Witcher saga, which also inspired a hit video game. Over the course of six seasons, viewers were immersed in the layered, politically-aware worldbuilding of space opera The Expanse, a show based on the ongoing fan favorite series. With its vivid magical realms, timeless themes of good and evil, and core cast of four endearing, adventurous siblings, C.S. Lewis's classic has inspired a number of beloved adaptations. Though the plot differs between book and film, the core themes of this look at a bleak future rocked by infertility—action and hope versus power and corruption—still hold true. The much-lauded His Dark Materials trilogy (which prompted both big and small screen adaptations) is celebrated for its multiverse-spanning world and deeper philosophical musings. Though it's new to television, The Sandman has long been a visual spectacle of art and mythos. Fans can enter The Dreaming anew with this audio drama. From page to scream... Hold onto your popcorn—these horror adaptations are the stuff of nightmares. From the eerie to the downright petrifying, we’re not sure which is scarier: the on-screen versions or the creeptastic listens they’re based on. The first horror film to be nominated for Best Picture, The Exorcist also makes for an exceptional audiobook, with the author delivering a bone-chilling performance. The masterful 1975 shark thriller is based on a novel of the same name, which follows three men determined to end a people-eating great white's reign of terror. From Bela Lugosi to Christopher Lee to Gary Oldman, a number of decorated actors have donned the Count's cape and brought Stoker's classic foe to life. Though the novel and film are somewhat removed, it's undeniable that King and Kubrick each created a terrifying tale of ghosts, both literal and metaphoric. From Halloween to The Fog, John Carpenter is a legend of horror filmmaking, and his 1982 sci-fi cult classic The Thing, based on this novella, is no exception. Narcissistic serial killer Patrick Bateman is in many ways more unsettling than any paranormal monster, proven by this vicious, dark satire and the film that it inspired. Mia Farrow, who portrayed Rosemary Woodhouse in the landmark 1968 film, lends her talented voice to this superb audio edition of the source material. Daphne du Maurier's short story "Don't Look Now" and its 1973 film counterpart are memorable for their evocation of mood and foreboding sense of unease. With a cinematic interpretation that captured the aches of immortality detailed so beautifully in the novel, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt enlivened the brooding saga of Louis de Pointe du Lac and Lestat de Lioncourt. The late Shirley Jackson's spooky haunted house classic was adapted into two films (one in 1963 and another in 1999) and served as the basis for a widely adored Netflix series that premiered in 2018. This take on the vampire myth—an effective, stirring character study commenting on the brutality of mortals and immortals alike—buoyed two films (in 2008 and 2010) and a Showtime original. Considered one of the greatest films ever made, the adaptation of The Silence of the Lambs is one of only a few to sweep the “Big Five” (Picture, Director, Actress, Actor, and Screenplay) at the Oscars. Crack the case with these tales of intrigue Mysteries and thrillers make for a particularly fun movie night—dodging red herrings and following clues, trying to unravel the mystery before the characters do. Oh, and it's just as fun to do with the audio versions—even if you think you know whodunit. An expertly crafted, twisty thriller adored by listeners, this bestseller translated brilliantly to film with the help of Rosamund Pike's layered portrayal of missing Missouri wife Amy Dunne. Tom Ripley is a handsome, ambitious con man living in mid-century New York with a fondness for the finer things in life—a desire that soon grows obsessive and dangerous. Both the Swedish adaptation starring Noomi Rapace and the US version with Rooney Mara mirrored the grim landscape and high stakes of Larsson's psychological thriller. Martin Scorsese directed this weighty psychological thriller with an ominous air while its star, Leonardo DiCaprio, lent depth and intrigue to protagonist Teddy Daniels. A pillar of the hard-boiled genre, this listen also provided the plot for one of the most significant films of all time: the Humphrey Bogart-led 1941 noir of the same name. In this smart mystery, symbologist Robert Langdon (played on screen by the peerless Tom Hanks) races to unravel a puzzle entwined in art, history, and theology. RDJ and Benedict Cumberbatch are just two of many to don the deerstalker in film and television, bringing literature's greatest detective to life. Sidney Lumet's 1974 adaptation of Agatha Christie's locomotive ensemble whodunit starred the likes of Albert Finney, Sean Connery, and Lauren Bacall. Villanelle is a vicious, highly gifted assassin. Eve is the MI5 agent tasked with taking her down. The BBC series captured the tension of their cat-and-mouse game and growing bond. Daniel Craig made his debut in the 007 world with 2006's adaptation of Ian Fleming's spy thriller, which finds Bond at the baccarat table, aiming to take down the villainous Le Chiffre. Penn Badgley expertly captures the unhinged unreliable narrator, stalker-turned-serial-killer Joe Goldberg, in Netflix's rendition of this suspenseful, paranoia-fueled series. A cult favorite, Fight Club features Edward Norton as the aimless, unfulfilled protagonist and Brad Pitt as the tough, enigmatic Tyler Durden. When the pair meet, things quickly get out of hand.

With stellar, layered performances and deftly researched narratives, these nonfiction films were inspired by equally riveting nonfiction storytelling. American abolitionist Northup recounts the years he spent enslaved in this staggering memoir, one that bolstered the movement to end slavery and inspired both a PBS film and a Best Picture winner. The basis for a star-studded dramedy, Michael Lewis's fascinating glimpse into the origins of the 2008 financial crisis traces the small, individual transactions that snowballed into fiscal disaster. Led by Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe, the adaptation of this phenomenal true story followed three Black women whose calculations fueled some of NASA's greatest leaps. This volume, which loosely inspired the epic historical biopic Lincoln, is the definitive account of the 16th President's fight to preserve the Union while bringing together dissident political rivals. The acclaimed 2014 biopic The Theory of Everything is based on this memoir of married life with renowned physicist Stephen Hawking amidst the anguish of his declining health. Meryl Streep stars as Julia Child in the adaptation of this memoir, which follows the author as she whisks her way through the chef's cookbook, finding joy, peace, and purpose. This historical account of Operation Cyclone, a Cold War-era CIA initiative to support Afghan militants during the Soviet-Afghan War, centers on an early supporter, US Rep Charlie Wilson.

The 72-year-old physicist recently made the trek from his home in Cambridge, England, to Working Title’s production offices in London to watch the biopic based on his life. Hawking’s longtime battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has left him a quadriplegic, and he speaks through a computer-generated voice amplifier. Before the screening, he met Redmayne. “He took a while to type something, then said, ‘I’ll let you know what I think — good or otherwise,’ ” Redmayne recalls. “I said, ‘Stephen, if it’s otherwise, you don’t need to go into details.’ ” After the lights came up, a nurse wiped a tear from Hawking’s eye. He called the film “broadly true,” and even celebrated with the film’s director James Marsh and screenwriter Anthony McCarten at a bar where he sipped champagne from a teaspoon. “He emailed us,” Marsh says, “and said there were certain points when he thought he was watching himself.” Redmayne pulls off one of the most challenging — and bravest — transformations of the year in “The Theory of Everything,” which Focus Features releases on Nov. 7. It’s the first leading role for the 32-year-old actor, who won the Tony for the 2010 play “Red,” and appeared in 2011’s “My Week With Marilyn” as fly-on-the-wall Colin Clark, and 2012’s “Les Miserables” as the heartthrob Marius. In the Wachowski sibling’s upcoming space-opera “Jupiter Ascending” (slated for February), Redmayne plays an intergalactic tycoon, and he’ll take on Lili Elbe, a transgender woman born as the painter Einar Wegener, in Tom Hooper’s drama “The Danish Girl,” which starts shooting in January. But first, he’ll need to jump through the three-ring circus of awards season. Robert Maxwell for Variety After “The Theory of Everything” premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in September, Redmayne earned raves and Oscar buzz. The blogosphere is salivating over the prospect of him competing with another classically trained British actor, Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of World War II drama “The Imitation Game.” But Redmayne won’t campaign negatively against his friend, whom he met when the two were playing Scarlett Johansson’s husbands in 2008’s “The Other Boleyn Girl.” “I totally see why people are (comparing us), because of the subject matter; we both play geniuses,” says Redmayne, sitting on the outdoor patio of his SoHo hotel on a recent New York afternoon. “But I won’t be engaged in that. I think he’s the most beautiful actor. I’ve long admired his work, and continue to do so. I hope there’s room for both our films.” Cumberbatch had played Hawking in a 2004 BBC TV movie, and the actor’s name even showed up on set one day, when “Theory of Everything” was filming at his old boarding school. “There was this hilarious moment when we were shooting a scene at Harrow School,” Redmayne says. “There was a wooden board with names engraved on it, and by my head was ‘B. Cumberbatch.’ I’m like, ‘Dude, you’re haunting me!’ I took a selfie of me dressed as Stephen and sent it to Ben.” Redmayne is part of the new British invasion in Hollywood — a group of actors that includes Cumberbatch, Andrew Garfield, Jack O’Connell (“300: Rise of an Empire”), Charlie Cox (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Tom Hiddleston (“The Avengers”). Many of these leading men have passionate fans on Twitter and Tumblr (“Redmayniacs” and “Cumberbitches,” for instance), though none is yet a giant global box office draw. “What’s really interesting about Eddie is that what turns him on are really tough, tricky roles,” says Working Title co-chair Eric Fellner. “But he’s an incredibly good-looking man. So he can be a movie star too.” Redmayne won’t classify himself that way. “A movie star is someone who has to open a film to gazillions of dollars,” says the actor, who lives in London with his fiancee Hannah Bagshawe. “I’m just trying to pay my mortgage.” Redmayne grew up in England, where one of his first roles was in a West End production of “Oliver!” at age 11. He had only one line, as “Workhouse Boy No. 40,” but he still remembers it: “Books you ordered from the bookseller, sir?” He enrolled in prestigious boarding school Eton College, studied art history at Cambridge and appeared in an all-male stage production of “Twelfth Night” as Viola that landed him a U.K. agent. One of his early screen roles was as Julianne Moore’s son in the 2007 indie “Savage Grace,” which deals with incest. “Eddie came in for the audition with Julianne, and the two of us looked at each other and said, ‘Why should we bother reading anyone else?’ ” notes the film’s director, Tom Kalin. Redmayne says that after Moore commented on how much they looked alike, he was never more grateful for his freckles and reddish hair. Kristen Stewart, who co-starred with Redmayne in the 2008 indie “The Yellow Handkerchief,” says he thrives on taking risks. “We had a great time together,” Stewart says. “This is not a word I use a lot, but it describes him perfectly. He is a fucking lovely man. And he’s astounding as an actor. He’s the type of actor, and guy, you want to go on an adventure with.” Robert Maxwell for Variety Redmayne recalls visiting Hollywood in his early 20s for auditions with other unknowns like Garfield, Tom Sturridge and Jamie Dornan. “You’d come over for a month,” Redmayne says. “We used to go to the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, and split a sandwich between us because that meant we could get cheaper parking. We’d swim and play table tennis for hours.” It was, in many ways, a surreal existence trying to break into the business. “We were staying on friend’s agents’ floors, and renting places together,” Redmayne says. “I’d be driving the cheapest rental car. But then you’d get to turn up at the CAA party. All these huge limos would arrive. I’d be in this red blob.” Redmayne says there was a comfort in his expat community, because even if he didn’t land roles, he’d be happy when one of his friends did. “When we started going out for the same parts, it never got in the way of our friendships,” says Cox, his co-star in “Theory,” who screen tested for “My Week With Marilyn.” Redmayne tells a story about how at the press junket for “Les Miserables,” a journalist asked him if he’d ever audition to play Christian Grey in “Fifty Shades of Grey.” After he said yes, the book’s author, E.L. James, dissed his candidacy. “She took to her Twitter feed to go, ‘Under no circumstances!’ ” Redmayne recalls. “I was like, all right, all right! Am I that bad? I can put a whip in my hand. I can get all kinky, can’t I?” He scrunches his face in a way that suggests more of an academic than an S&M expert. “Apparently not,” he concedes. But he got into great shape for “Jupiter Ascending.” “The Wachowskis had encouraged me to develop a six-pack,” Redmayne says. “So I’d spent months basically doing sit-ups and eating chicken, and then the day that it finished, I started prepping for ‘The Theory of Everything.’ I was like, ‘Please, it’s the only time in my life that I’ve ever got close to abs! Can’t I just walk down a beach?’ ” He promptly started the process of losing 15 pounds to play Hawking. “I just didn’t eat dinner, basically,” he says. He also grew out his fingernails, despite protests from his fiancee, after reading that Hawking had that habit. “Mine were long enough to be pretty unattractive,” Redmayne says. “They were a bit scratchy and generally dirty.” But his appearance was the least of his worries — entering Hawking’s world would present far more formidable challenges. It took a decade to get “The Theory of Everything” to the big screen. In 2004, McCarten read the book by Jane Hawking, Stephen’s first wife, about their life together, and traveled by train to Cambridge to meet her. “Will you let me in?” he recalls asking. “I had to convince her and her family it was a good idea.” He wrote several drafts of the script, and shared them with Jane. When she finally gave him permission to adapt her story, he optioned the rights independently. The project eventually landed at Working Title, with documentary filmmaker Marsh (“Man on Wire”) attached to direct. Universal, which picked up the biopic with a budget of less than $15 million, is releasing it via Focus Features. The movie’s creative team had drawn up a list of high-profile British actors who could play Hawking — including Garfield and Michael Fassbender — but Redmayne wasn’t on it. With the help of his agent, CAA’s Josh Lieberman, he was able to book a meeting with Marsh in a London pub. “It was 3 in the afternoon,” says Redmayne. The actor asked for a beer, and instantly regretted his decision when Marsh ordered a coffee for himself instead of alcohol. “In the end,” Redmayne says, “he ended up drinking a ton of coffee and I ended up drinking a ton of beer, so I was pissed and he was high on caffeine.” But at least they could see they were creatively compatible. “We had a like-minded attitude of ‘We have no idea how we’re going to do this, but we trust in each other to be brave enough to make mistakes,’ ” Redmayne says. He got the offer to play Hawking without an audition, which was a double-edged sword. “At least when you’ve auditioned, they’ve seen some sense of what you can do,” says Redmayne (he read three times before nabbing his role in “Les Miserables”). “I was thrilled and instantaneously nervous.” He was then asked to read with British actress Felicity Jones (“Like Crazy”), who was being considered to play Jane Hawking. “James kept calling me saying, ‘Eddie, by the way, this isn’t an audition for you.’ I was like, ‘Bullshit!’ Don’t pretend for a moment that Donna Langley isn’t seeing this,” he says of Universal’s chairman, who shepherded the project. Jones and Redmayne aced their scenes together, and she was offered the job on the spot. Redmayne spent four months studying Hawking’s life, a process that required so much research, it was like writing a doctoral dissertation. He watched every documentary and YouTube video he could find on the man. “I tried to read literally everything I could get my hands on,” says the actor, who pored over all of Hawking’s books. “It became hilarious, because I would get 40 pages in, and I was like — ‘Eddie, none of these words make any sense to you.’ ” He contacted a physics teacher at Imperial College London who proved to be a good translator. He also worked with a choreographer, Alexandra Reynolds (she made the zombies twitch in “World War Z”). “We put what we knew into picking up a pen, drinking, walking, existing,” says Reynolds, who labored with Redmayne for four hours a day, and filmed his movements on an iPad for them to study. She’d pose questions to him like, “What’s happening in your pelvis? Are you holding your head right?” Hawking was diagnosed with motor neuron disease when he was 21, and wasn’t expected to live past 25. Doctors now know there are many forms of ALS, an illness that has sprung to the public’s attention with the Ice Bucket Challenge. Every two weeks, Redmayne would visit a neurology clinic in London, where he’d interview patients. He met with more than 30, and even went to some of their homes. Since the film wouldn’t be shot chronologically, he had to understand how the disease affected Hawking at different stages of his life, and had a doctor consult with him on vintage photographs to see how Hawking’s body deteriorated. Robert Maxwell for Variety Redmayne compiled his findings on a sheet of paper he carried with him everywhere. “It was like the Magna Carta,” says Marsh, who made him scan it in case it got lost. “It became the most important document beyond the script.” Redmayne knew that after the cameras started rolling, he’d have no room for error. “The thing about motor neuron disease, once a muscle stops working, it doesn’t start again,” he says. “So often in the edit, directors and editors will shift things around. James and I were absolutely adamant that Anthony’s script would have to be pretty solid from the get-go.” Just days before shooting began, Redmayne finally got word that Hawking had agreed to see him in Cambridge. He was so nervous, he spent the first part of the conversation telling Hawking about the physicist’s own life. He called him “professor,” but Hawking wanted to be referred to by his first name. “It was complicated when I met him, because by that point, I’d spent so much time researching him,” Redmayne says. “It was the trepidation of not only meeting someone with an extraordinary brain and iconic status, but also — what if I got it wrong?” Not only were Redmayne’s instincts correct about Hawking, but the meeting proved invaluable in sketching out some final details. Hawking asked Redmayne if he would be playing him before he was forced to rely on his voice machine, and he told the actor, “My voice was very slurred.” Says Redmayne: “He has one of the most expressive faces. You’re never playing relaxed. The irony I found was that everything you’ve been taught about film acting is to reduce. The weird thing here is you are doing the absolute opposite. Your face is in these huge extreme positions and expressions.” Redmayne was so on edge the night before the shoot, he couldn’t sleep. “It’s the only all-nighter I’ve done in my life,” he says. “One of the first scenes was an intense, emotional one. I think it helped.” When he played Hawking in the later years of his life, Redmayne would sit in a wheelchair with his legs crossed and his head tipped over, in a position that affected his breathing. It was at times physically painful to contort his body for that long. “He was really suffering, but he never complained,” Marsh says. And there was this other trick: prosthetic ears. “When we wanted to get him thinner and smaller, do you know what we did?” reveals McCarten. “You make the ears bigger and the whole body seems smaller.” Hawking made one more notable appearance before the film wrapped. He and Jane visited the set during the scene where their characters dance with each other at a Cambridge party. The physicist lived up to his reputation as a flirt. “When Felicity came in, sparks flew,” Redmayne jokes. Hawking asked her for a peck on the cheek, and the actress was more than willing to oblige. “I was flattered,” Jones says. “I got to kiss an icon.” Judgment day came, with the nerve-wracking screening. But Redmayne had nothing to worry about. Hawking was so pleased with the movie, he even responded with a generous gift — that the filmmakers swap the synthetic voice they had to create and replace it with his own, trademarked computerized version. “We spent a lot of time and money trying to reproduce the voice, but we never got it,” McCarten says. Redmayne was moved when he heard of Hawking’s offer. He was never quite sure he was landing the performance, which he watched every night on the dailies — the first time he’s ever done that. “You’re just hoping to get there,” Redmayne says. “Yet there’s this constant frustration — it’s always underwhelming, because you never quite make it. But with his specific voice, it’s an actor’s dream. You’re one step closer to the truth.”

For the most part, a studio is going to look at market conditions and other competing releases to determine the best date to maximize box office revenue. This is illustrated by recent statements by Disney's CEO on the controversial decision to release Black Widow simultaneously in theaters and on streaming due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Bob Iger and I, along with the leaders of our creative and distribution teams, determine this was the right strategy because it would enable us to reach the broadest possible audience. So, the largest and most profitable studio in the industry makes this decision carefully after input from stakeholders who are deeply involved in the process and only after carefully weighing alternatives. Other studios very likely have similar processes in place for their releases. While there is an accepted answer to this question, I will post an additional one here, as I can answer specific parts of the original question that have not been answered yet. Usually the director/s, producer/s, studio/s will agree on a theatrical (cinema) release window. This will be determined by the completion date of the production. The bigger the film is, the narrower the window of the theatrical release. Big blockbusters have their dates locked when the initial production agreement is signed and any release date change will require approval from a number of parties. Then the Theatrical Distribution teams will work on the cinema release of the title around the world. They will decide on specific release dates. For the vast majority of the titles they will have the ability to move the release date of this title in any country, within a few weeks/months. The distribution teams are typically split into two groups, the Domestic (US & Canada) and the International distribution teams. The International team is further divided into EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), Latin America & APAC (Asia Pacific). So, for example, for the release date of a film in Peru, the local Managing Director of the distribution company who will release the film and his/her team will have a release date recommendation based on the instructions (e.g. film delivery date, contractual obligations, global release strategy, talent touring availability etc.) they received by the head office. Their recommended release date will be reviewed and approved/rejected by the LATAM regional distribution team. For some releases the recommendation goes the other way, from top to bottom. This is usually for bigger titles, with the local teams only making counter-proposals if it is absolutely necessary. Key factors to take into consideration: The US release date (aka Domestic date) The competitive landscape ( i.e. other films that may get released around the same time, this includes local titles) Major local holidays, sport events, elections etc., that may affect the availability of the target audience Piracy: in markets with rampant piracy, you need to release the film as close to the domestic date Weather: In some markets, weather dictates how people will spend their time. The first hint of summer-like weather in spring, may mean barbecues instead of cinema visits in some markets. We cannot predict the weather of course months in advance, but distributors do avoid periods where the weather can literally destroy the release of a film. Talent availability for PR. If your main actor/actress is willing and/or contractually obligated to support the film's marketing campaign, then he/she will go to premieres and other events around the world. Clearly this helps the film's release and requires additional planning, that takes into account the talent's availability. Some films will be award contenders. Depending on the potential awards, there are further restrictions in terms of when a film can be released. And last by definitely not least, the target release date for the other, and much more profitable, revenue streams: this was TV and video in the past and streaming in our times. Die Hard had a Christmas theme and was released in July 1989, as the studio was aiming to have an appropriate 1989 Christmas release for home entertainment (video rentals/purchases). This is just a brief list of some of the many factors that need to be taken into consideration when the distribution teams around the world work on a theatrical release date. In the 35mm film era, another important consideration was the cost of the reels. The set of reels required for a film to be shown in one cinema would cost $2-3k or more. In these times, a reel would first play in the bigger cinemas of a major market (US) then move a few months later in another English-speaking country (UK, AUS, SA) and then finally move to subtitling markets where they would chemically etch the subtitles on the 35mm print. For example, Die Hard opened in July 1988 in the US, in February 1989 in the UK and in December 1989 in Hungary. Today, practically all cinemas play digital copies, so this is not an issue.

What did the real-life scientist think of Eddie Redmayne's performance as him in the biopic?	en	https://www.slashfilm.co…icon-448x448.png	SlashFilm	https://www.slashfilm.com/534956/stephen-hawking-theory-of-everything-reaction/	As a theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking isn't usually one to weigh in on recent movies. But The Theory of Everything is naturally of special interest to him, seeing that it stars Eddie Redmayne as Hawking himself. For their part, critics have been gushing about Redmayne's performance. He's widely considered a shoo-in for an Oscar nomination, and has been ever since the film's festival debut. But Hawking would know better than anyone whether Redmayne really did a good job — so what did Hawking think? Get the Stephen Hawking Theory of Everything reaction after the jump. Hawking shared his thoughts on The Theory of Everything on Facebook. I thought Eddie Redmayne portrayed me very well in The Theory of Everything Movie. He spent time with ALS sufferers so he could be authentic. At times, I thought he was me. Seeing the film has given me the opportunity to reflect on my life. Although I'm severely disabled, I have been successful in my scientific work. I travel widely and have been to Antarctica and Easter Island, down in a submarine and up on a zero gravity flight. One day I hope to go into space. I've been privileged to gain some understanding of the way the universe operates through my work. But it would be an empty universe indeed without the people that I love. -SH In an accompanying video featurette about Redmayne's performance, the scientist added, "I think Eddie's commitment will have a big emotional impact." While Hawking didn't actually work on the film, he was kept updated throughout. He met Redmayne several days before shooting, and even visited the set during the filming of the May Ball scene. "It was dark and beautiful, and then Stephen arrived, silhouetted in his chair," Redmayne told THR. "He was spotlit by his screen [on his wheelchair computer], and on cue, the fireworks went off. It was the greatest entrance I have ever seen in my life." (So, kind of like this?)

With Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris, Orto Ignatiussen. Dr Ryan Stone, an engineer on her first time on a space mission, and Matt Kowalski, an astronaut on his final expedition, have to survive in space after they are hit by debris while spacewalking.	en	https://m.media-amazon.c…B1582158068_.png	IMDb	https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1454468/	Arguably the best tagline for a movie EVER, "In space no one can hear you scream" Alien's "In space no one can hear you scream" tagline is arguably the best tagline for a movie of all-time. That same tagline could easily be effectively utilized for Alfonso Cuarón's latest thriller, Gravity. Starring two unknowns by the names of George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, Gravity puts the two A-listers together as a medical engineer and an astronaut that must work in tandem to survive once a freak accident leaves them adrift in space. Their struggle takes place after debris from a Russian satellite comes speeding through their orbit ripping their space shuttle to shreds causing Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) to float untethered in space. Coming to her aid is astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) who estimates that the debris will again circle the earth and again zip past their location in approximately 90-minutes. Their mission quickly changes into a race to survival 600km above the earth where help from anyone outside of each other is impossible. Alfonso Cuarón is chiselling himself quite a career. He was last behind the camera for Children of Men (2006) which was nominated for three Academy Awards and he was also responsible for the best film in the Harry Potter film series with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004). But Gravity is his best work to date. Bullock carries the film (expect some murmurs for a Best Actress nomination) and Gravity centers on the two main characters only. There are no other developed characters. Two other astronauts and a radio voice from Houston, Texas are the only other character influences and their parts wouldn't amount to 2 minutes if strung in order. With only two actors to carry the entire 90-minute runtime, the movie relies heavily on its visuals of space and the various orbiting stations with the earth always prominent in the background. And the visuals are fantastic. There are no side-stories, sub-plots, unnecessary fluff or sexual tension between the characters. Just a desperate attempt to make the most of the oxygen they have left. Gravity is the best 3D film ever. Ever. Add to the mix the incredible visuals and perfect sound (both loud and quiet) and you have a faultless mix. Gravity will contend for Oscar's in Visual Effects, Sound and Editing. Cuarón incredibly is able to give his audience a sense of claustrophobia whether his cast are inside an orbiting capsule or in the vast darkness of space. And as the astronauts deal with each new developing tragedy, the audience will themselves be gasping for air rooting for the character's success in each new attempt at survival. With still a few months left in the year, it's too early to call a film the year's best. But Gravity will definitely be there on many lists at the year's conclusion. It's that breathtaking. It's that good. www.killerreviews.com

He continues the standard with the lead single from Kerry Douglas’s Love Mountain Movie soundtrack— “Don’t Give Up” making its entrance in the top 30 on Mediabase Gospel Chart this week. Pugh says that he wrote the song based on his character Elliot in the Love Mountain movie. In it, he encourages his son and daughter-in-law to fight for their marriage amidst opposition, tests, and trials and to never give up on love because leaving is not an option. Aaron Carter produced the song. According to Blacksmoke CEO Mr. Kerry Douglas, “The song is applicable in various respects. Life is filled with hard knocks and severe blows. We are also in the fight of our lives for civil rights, rights to healthcare, and even our rightful place in the marketplace. I am optimistic about the impact of this single as a message to the masses on both gospel and R&B platforms.” “Don’t Give Up” is also the lead single from Pugh’s forthcoming 2025 full-length CD, The Outpour Experience, Vol. 2. This live Recording, produced by E. Devon Goodwin, took place earlier this year and features Sunday Best’s Tiffany Andrews, Ricky Dillard’s and New G featured soloist Neek Smith, and Blacksmoke Gospel Sensation and emerging artist Cedric Ballard.

Saperstein", "Jaden Thompson" ]	2024-04-08T21:28:25+00:00	Here are the 30 highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide, including 'Avatar,' 'Avengers: Endgame' and 'Barbie.'	en	https://variety.com/wp-c…e-touch-icon.png	Variety	https://variety.com/lists/highest-grossing-movies-of-all-time/	Every few years, a blockbuster movie comes along and breaks the box office, joining the list of highest-grossing movies of all time. Several of the films near the top of this list were released in the past decade, benefitting from today’s higher ticket prices, but every movie here has shown enough staying power at the worldwide box office to smash record after record. That makes the No. 1 title, “Avatar,” even more impressive, since the underwater epic came out 15 years ago, when ticket prices were lower, yet is still on top of the worldwide list. Its sequel, “The Way of Water,” hovers not far behind at No. 3. The takeaway? Never underestimate James Cameron, since he has three out of the top four entries worldwide. Note that this list is not adjusted for inflation; determining the top films of all time at the time they were released is an imperfect science. Looking at only domestic (U.S. and Canada) releases, the top films adjusted for inflation are estimated to be “Gone With the Wind,” “Star Wars,” “The Sound of Music,” “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” and “Titanic.” (Source: Boxofficemojo.com)

So what started as “110 Journalism Movies, Ranked” has morphed into “200 Journalism Movies Ranked.” Hollywood helps define just about everything in America. And journalism is no exception. From “Citizen Kane” to “The Post” and from “Libeled Lady” to “All the President’s Men,” reporters have clashed with editors, danced on both sides of the ethical line, and otherwise populated hits and duds on the silver screen. They’ve been heroic, dangerous, and sometimes very funny. In celebration of the 110th anniversary of SPJ, Quill Editor Lou Harry teamed up with the critics from MidwestFilmJournal.com to watch, review and rank 110 journalism-related films. As noted above, we have been expanding the list ever since. Caveat: To make this ambitious project (relatively) manageable, the list was limited to English-language films that were theatrically released. Trimmed out were flicks where the journalism milieu was minimal (i.e. “The Last Time I Saw Paris,” “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” and a load of romantic comedies). What’s left, we hope, is a list that will spark discussion, encourage debate, and provide you with some ideas for the next time you can’t find anything interesting in your Netflix queue. Chime in down in the comments section with your thoughts on any of them. And let us know if we’re missing anything. Reviewers: AC = Aly Caviness, ED = Evan Dossey, LH = Lou Harry, MR = Mitch Ringenberg, NR = Nick Rogers SW = Sam Watermeier Let’s start at the bottom: 200. Brenda Starr (1989). The comic strip about the gutsy reporter lasted from 1940 to 2011. But after sitting on the shelf for years because of rights issues, the film, starring Brooke Shields, disappeared quickly — with good reason. Bob Mackie’s costumes provide the only interest. (LH) 199. 10 Days in a Madhouse (2015). It opens with a bloody scene out of a grade Z horror film and ends with one of the worst original songs ever heard in a movie. In between is an earnest but painfully amateur you-go-girl flick that looks like it was shot by people who couldn’t get work making those bio-docs for the History Channel. Nellie Bly’s pioneering undercover investigation of asylum conditions deserves better than this flop, which barely cracked five figures at the box office. Christopher Lambert and Kelly Le Brock appear, for no clear purpose besides their names, in supporting roles. (LH) 198. Scoop (2006). Upon its 2006 release, “Scoop” was reviewed as one of writer-director Woody Allen’s lesser efforts and time has not been kind. After receiving a tip from a ghost (Ian McShane, a standout), intrepid journalism student Sondra Pransky (Scarlett Johansson) attempts to seduce billionaire socialite Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman), who may be a murderer. The ethos “anything for the story” rules, but Allen’s script mostly defines it as Johansson using her looks to get ahead — or not. A nice smattering of screwball comedy presages other, better roles in the actress’s future while the lackadaisical pace and one-note characters also, unfortunately, preview Allen’s later work. Note: The much, much better 2024 film with the same title can be found down in the double digits of this list. (ED) 197. I Love Trouble (1994). Screenwriter Nancy Meyers hit sweet spots before and after with “Baby Boom,” “Father of the Bride” and “The Parent Trap” (which she also directed). But here she can’t create sparks between Nick Nolte and Julia Roberts, nor can she and director Charles Shyer navigate the delicate balance of romance and thrills. Nolte and Roberts play rival reporters at Chicago dailies who collide when covering a train wreck. Their investigations — separately and together — unearth a plot involving, no kidding, bovine hormones. But the test of these sorts of films is whether you want the bickering pair to eventually get together, not whether or not the mystery plot works. In this case, though, both chemical efforts fizzle. (LH) 196. Run This Town (2019). “Run This Town” chronicles the final year of former Toronto Mayor Rob Ford’s time in office, back when a video of a politician smoking crack cocaine could still derail their career. Robyn Doolittle, the recent university grad who broke the story in real life, is replaced here by a fictional male reporter aimlessly floating about early adulthood — a questionable choice. Without knowing that background, though, “Run This Town” simply comes across like a minor-level attempt at the rhythms of Aaron Sorkin, filled with colorful conversations and walk-and-talk sequences that never feel like more than the sum of their parts. Worth it, though, for character actor Damian Lewis’s fat-suited performance as Ford, almost entirely unrecognizable under the sweat and latex. (ED) 195. The Escort (2015). This film wants to have its cake and eat it too — sharply poking fun at both sex addiction and prostitution, while ultimately aiming to win your affection as a tender drama. Co-writer Michael Donegar stars as Mitch, a sex-addicted journalist who seemingly finds the woman of his personal and professional dreams when he meets Victoria, a Stanford-educated escort. Hoping to earn a job at a high-profile magazine by telling her story, Mitch tags along on her various trysts. Of course, romantic tension ensues. “The Escort” clumsily connects the commodified intimacy of prostitution to that of magazine interviews. And it also stumbles while exploring the idea of reporters falling in love with their subjects. That’s probably because Donegan, co-writer Brandon A. Cohen and director Will Slocombe maintain the breezy tone of a made-for-TNT movie and try to balance the more earnest dramatic moments with awkward strokes of broad comedy, like the casting of Bruce Campbell as Mitch’s rich-hippie father. A great piece of journalism can drum up suspense even in the inevitable, but by the time this film ends exactly as you expect it will, you’ll feel nothing but relief that it’s over. (SW) 194. The Bonfire of the Vanities (1990). Director Brian De Palma’s colossal botching of Tom Wolfe’s decade-defining novel is clear from the opening, a five-minute tracking shot following narrator/tabloid reporter Peter Fallow (Bruce Willis) to an awards ceremony. You may wonder how they did it. By the end, you’re more likely to wonder why. De Palma’s bloated take on Wolfe’s swirling novel — about the downfall of a Wall Streeter (Tom Hanks, miscast) who incites a racial incident — is more cartoonish than crystallized. Upside: It gave us Julie Salamon’s “The Devil’s Candy: ‘The Bonfire of the Vanities’ Goes to Hollywood,” one of the best books about making movies. (LH) 193. The Naked Truth (aka Your Past is Showing) (1957). With a concept that sounds more promising on paper than it plays out on film, this British offering concerns a sleazy tabloid publisher (Dennis Price) with a blackmail scheme. His rag, The Naked Truth, will run a friendly profile of a famous person next to a scandalous story about that same person — this time unnamed, leaving it up to the reader to make the connection and absolving him of libel. A politician (Terry Thomas) and media personality (Peter Sellers) join forces with others to fight back but their antics generate few laughs before an absurd — and very welcome — conclusion. For Sellers completists only. (LH) 192. Freelance (2023). It seems rude to have released “Freelance” to theaters before the scent of sage burned to blast bad juju from auditoriums showing “Expand4bles” had cleared. But at least this one has better visual effects … and a journalism angle! John Cena plays a former Special Forces soldier tasked to protect disgraced reporter Claire Wellington (Alison Brie) on a trip to interview a notoriously tight-lipped and iron-fisted South American leader. A one-time winner of the International Journalists and Editors Award — tough statue to get, that very real-sounding award! — Claire has now resorted to celebrity man-cave interviews on a website called Infamous Daily. (Come to think of it, Infamous Daily might be kind of a fun reporter name.) Anyway, Claire thinks the interview will be a ticket back to the big time. Instead, it puts her in the middle of a coup from which only Cena can save her. “Freelance” plays out like a fake movie within a movie that manifested into reality as a tax-shelter scheme for a bunch of fat-cat dolts with no better plan to pay their pipers less. It’s awful, but at least Cena and Brie film their “bold moments of guerrilla journalism” in landscape, which will give those editors at Infamous Daily more options. (NR) 191. The Paperboy (2012). Matthew McConaughey stars in this vile piece of southern exploitation as Ward, a big-city journalist brought home to help exonerate a convicted felon, Van Wetter (John Cusack), at the behest of the murderer’s smitten girlfriend-via-correspondence, Charlotte (Nicole Kidman). There is a lot going on in “The Paperboy,” and although McConaughey plays a good investigative reporter, the rest of the film is buried under grim excess to a comical degree. Zac Efron co-stars as Jack, Ward’s brother, who is smitten with Charlotte — a problematic position to be in given her predicament. At one point, Charlotte has to drop trou to save Jack after a jellyfish attack and, well, that’s about the high point of the story. (ED) 190. City of Lies (2018). “City of Lies” dramatizes the investigation conducted by former LAPD detective Russell Poole (Johnny Depp) into the unsolved murder of the rapper The Notorious B.I.B. Poole’s theory followed that corrupt police officers helped with the crime and his investigation into the LAPD’s involvement led to an early forced retirement. The film tells the story in a perplexingly non-chronological style, with flashbacks to the investigation that ended Poole’s career and a present-day story featuring Poole and investigative reporter Darius “Jack” Johnson (Forest Whitaker) teaming up to discover the truth. The film was shelved in 2018 due to Depp’s legal and personal woes, finally finding a VOD release during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ironically, it’s one of Depp’s more measured performances from that era of his career — which isn’t to say he’s especially good in it, particularly his delivery of one of the most unenthusiastic voiceovers ever recorded. A confusing, confounding mess. (ED) 189. Still Here (2020). Even if you only interned in a newsroom, you’ll see how this well-meaning but woefully inept film gets the details so heinously wrong. Swaggering and smoldering Christian Baker (Johnny Whitworth) writes for the fictitious New York Chronicle and becomes personally invested in a story about a young Black girl’s disappearance. “I wanna know what’s really going on out there,” Baker gnashes before dropping cash to a source for intel. “Something I can sink my teeth into.” After a quick glance at Christian’s incendiary copy that calls out the cops, his editor yells: “F*ck it! Let’s run it!” Perhaps it’s fitting that Whitworth resembles a suaver cousin of “Parks & Recreation’s” Jean-Ralphio Saperstein. As journalism films go, this one’s definitely among the worrrrrrrst. (NR) 188. News of the World (2020). In this dry, dust-choked, Oscar-nominated bit of boredom for all involved, Tom Hanks is Jefferson Kyle Kidd, a Confederate veteran roaming America in the thick of Reconstruction. Kidd’s post-war occupation is gathering newspapers from large cities and international editions, then reading them aloud for paying audiences in small towns. Most of the film is a lazily conceived save-the-girl action-Western, an anodyne anomaly for Hanks and director Paul Greengrass that plays like “Plains, Reins and Wagon Wheels.” It’s an oater offering little journalistic fat on which to chew outside of loud-shouting analogs to a divisive present day and eternally irreconcilable racial animosity. (NR) 187. The Pirates of Somalia (2017). Writer-director Bryan Buckley’s adaptation of Canadian journalist Jay Bahadur’s 2011 book opens on audio of Mario Savio’s “bodies on the gears” speech. It’s ostensibly a mantra for a fictionalized Bahadur, given increasingly loud life by Evan Peters. But “Pirates” regards it like a dorm-room poster, a decoration to moon over for what you think it says about you and look straight past until it’s time to pack up for the summer. The many plights of Somalia — the “somewhere crazy” to which a desperate Bahadur flees after chucking the Canuck life — is similarly filtered through western-world whininess. Bahadur’s endless first-person monologues blame the fourth estate for burying his earliest stories. Those stories are all he has, but are they any good? Throw in romantic grace notes a la “(500) Days of Somalia,” Bahadur’s hypnotized animated visions of piracy set to the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Hypnotize” and spiral-cut ham interludes from Al Pacino as Bahadur’s mentor, and you’ve got just another flip, touristy and disengaged geopolitical drama — something like “Captain Phillips” made by Todd Phillips. (NR) 186. Richard Jewell (2019). The tragedy of the real-life Richard Jewell is that of an innocent man brought low by a combination of journalistic and governmental malpractice. Jewell was a security guard at the scene of the Centennial Park bombing during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta and became the prime suspect in an FBI investigation. It almost ruined his life. Clint Eastwood’s dramatization of the story can’t help but amp up its journalist “villain,” the late Kathy Scruggs, into a slanderous caricature of a real woman. It commits the same affront to truth it tries to unpack. Sometimes reporters make mistakes, but there’s no reason to return such an affront in kind. It’s too bad, as this is otherwise Eastwood’s best film in his later period of “unsung hero” stories, filled with great performances and funny writing. (ED) 185. The Dark (1979). An investigative reporter on a desperate quest to find his daughter’s killer encounters an alien that shoots lasers from its eyes and likes to rip people’s faces off. Director John “Bud” Cardos’s horror / sci-fi film offers a tantalizing premise that unfortunately never comes close to realizing its full potential. This grindhouse also-ran is most notable for almost being helmed by legendary director Tobe Hooper (“The Texas Chain Saw Massacre”) before he was fired after only three days on set. What Hooper might have been able to make of this material is certainly better than what we got — a lot of stiff acting and people standing around arguing with one another and not nearly enough face-ripping. (MR) 184. Perfect (1985). The team behind “Urban Cowboy” (including co-writer and journalist Aaron Latham) attempts a similar feat of cultural anthropology with John Travolta in tow. Here, he plays Adam Lawrence, a Rolling Stone reporter who finds love with a fitness instructor (Jamie Lee Curtis) and journalistic disillusionment while (rather interminably) researching and reporting the 1980s health club craze. It’s surprising that Stone founder Jann Wenner loaned his publication’s name to a film that paints their practices so poorly, doubly so that Wenner essentially plays himself, and triply so for how padded “Perfect” is by extraneous exercise footage (including, yes, an end-credits shot of Wenner in the gym). This DOA romantic drama also delivered the kill shot to Travolta’s flagging career momentum, which didn’t recover until nearly a decade later with “Pulp Fiction.” So drippy here that he can’t even meet Curtis a quarter of the way on chemistry, Travolta fares no better after Adam becomes a First Amendment poster child in a haphazardly handled final act. Turns out “Perfect’s” lone cultural legacy is that well-memed GIF of Travolta thrusting his pelvis in a precariously perched pair of junk-hugging jockeys. (NR) 183. -30- (aka Deadline Midnight) (1959). Fans of old school TV may get a kick out of seeing William Conrad, Joe Flynn, Richard Deacon and David Nelson fill out the cast. Plus there’s Miss Arkansas of 1959, Donna Sue Needham (yes, she’s billed in the opening credits that way). But there’s not much to recommend in this look at the overnight activity at a big city daily. Few films on this list spend this much time in the newsroom — or this much time focused on coffeemaking — but the tone is all over the place. Director/producer Jack Webb saddles himself with playing an editor adjusting to the idea of adopting a child. Better known as the title character on the series “Cannon,” Conrad comes across as an unfunny Jackie Gleason (“You had better rustle your bustle, Nellie Bly,” he says when giving a young female reporter an assignment.) An overwrought score punctuates matters throughout, particularly when the drama turns to a kid missing in a storm drain. (LH) 182. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008). If you kowtow to celebrities, your byline will grace the glossy pages of culture magazines but your heart will burn dim. That’s essentially the concluding message of this film, which is sufficient for a soft romantic comedy but disappointing given the sharp source material of controversial British writer Toby Young’s 2001 memoir. Young took a bloody bite out of the Big Apple, shaking things up at Vanity Fair and having disastrous run-ins with Kenneth Branagh, Mel Gibson and Diana Ross, among other celebrities. The film adaptation, in which Simon Pegg plays a stand-in for Young, is surprisingly toothless, eschewing Young’s juicy behind-the-scenes drama in favor of clichéd comic situations, such as an awkward interview in which Pegg’s character asks a musical-comedy star whether he’s gay. The film soon sets up more promising comic targets, including a deliciously douchey director, and Pegg makes you root for Young to take them down. But screenwriter Peter Straughan and director Robert Weide always pull the punches, making the film seem as lily-livered as the starstruck journalists it’s supposedly aiming to satirize. (SW) 181. Up Close and Personal (1996). It’s hard to imagine credited screenwriter and literary journalist Joan Didion approved much of a movie that plays like “Broadcast News” by way of Nicholas Sparks and lacks any of the intimate despair of her best work. What began as a biopic of the late NBC News reporter Jessica Savitch was eventually altered beyond recognition by Touchstone Pictures and released as a saccharine romance vehicle for Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer. Admittedly, it’s impossible for these actors not to be endearing, but they’re trapped in a forgettabls studio vehicle from director Jon Avnet that has as much to say about journalism as “She’s All That.” In fact, Pfeiffer even gets the same makeover treatment here. (MR) 180. The Unseen (1980). With a story credit by makeup maestro Stan Winston and a premise revolving around a basement-dwelling bogeyman, “The Unseen” sounds promising on paper. Unfortunately, what it leaves unseen is an imaginative monster as well as a worthwhile spotlight on journalism. The film follows three TV reporters left stranded on assignment covering the annual Danish festival in Solvang, California. This is a decent setup, but the journalism tie-in ends here. An eccentric museum owner (Sydney Lassick) quickly whisks the women away to his farmhouse, where all hell breaks loose. Rather than relying on their instincts as reporters or turning their cameras on their horrific ordeal, the news team stereotypically stumbles through the nightmare. The film deserves kudos for its depiction of the lead reporter’s ultimate empathy toward the monster, but that feels like too little too late amid this silly mess. As you browse our list of journalism movies, help this entry live up to its title by avoiding it. (SW) 179. Bright Lights, Big City (1988). Casting Michael J. Fox as the coke-snorting lead in an adaptation of Jay McInerney’s seminal 1980s novel seemed a bad idea at the time. Viewing it 30 years later, it’s an even worse idea. That being said, it’s one of the only cinematic treatments of the challenges facing fact-checkers — in this case, a hard-partying staffer for a New Yorker-ish magazine. The scenes at the magazine office (where Swoosie Kurtz, Frances Sternhagen and John Houseman lend support) are at least less cringy than the nightlife and domestic-drama scenes. (LH) 178. The Mean Season (1985). Strung-out Miami reporter Malcolm Anderson (Kurt Russell) becomes a serial killer’s public mouthpiece in this nicely shot, thematically daft schlock about the line past which storytellers become the story. Adapted from former Miami Herald reporter John Katzenbach’s novel (and filmed in the Herald’s offices), Phillip Borsos’ 1985 film parks a truck of red herrings to rot in the sweltering Florida heat. Malcolm’s girlfriend, Christine (Mariel Hemingway), exists only for the killer to endanger, after which Malcolm improbably jumps a bridge to save her. Imagine if Jake Gyllenhaal free-soloed Coit Tower to stop the Zodiac Killer. Plus, Malcolm’s paper uses a passive-voice headline when Christine is taken. Poor form, especially on A1. (NR) 177. Teacher’s Pet (1958). Clark Gable is a hardnosed (read: obnoxious) city editor who laments “dames” teaching journalism classes. (“Amateurs teaching amateurs how to be amateurs,” he gripes.) Doris Day is a teacher who believes — and demonstrates — the value of education. He signs on to her class under an assumed name to show her up but is soon smitten. There are plenty of noble speeches and journalistic debates on the way to the revelation of his real identity. Day is charming, particularly when she’s got the upper hand, but Gable’s sexist creepiness hasn’t aged well. (LH) 176. Lions for Lambs (2007). In one of the worst-reviewed films for each of its three major stars, Tom Cruise plays a senator who offers a scoop to skeptical reporter Meryl Streep about military operations in Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Robert Redford (who also directed) plays a professor pushing students away from apathy. It’s generally talky and often to its own detriment. But an early scene perfectly encapsulates the largely rocky relationship between politicians and the press. When Streep’s journalist grills Cruise’s senator about the reasoning behind the Iraq War, he fires back, “How many times are you people going to ask the same question?” With utter righteousness, she replies: “ ’Til we get the answer.” Messy as it might be, “Lions for Lambs” reminds us that journalists’ dogged pursuit of the truth is often the only hope we have of cleaning up our government’s messes. (SW) 175. Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice: The Ultimate Edition (2016). We’re not arguing that the 183-minute version of Zack Snyder’s infamous title bout between DC Comics’ biggest characters will change the hearts of viewers who found the 151-minute theatrical cut tedious. That would be impossible. However, the half-hour of restored content features one of the best on-screen depictions of Superman’s alter ego, Clark Kent, performing his duties as an investigative reporter for The Daily Planet. His topic? Batman’s violent war on crime. His real foe? A newspaper industry that doesn’t care about consequence, only “content.” Although this additional subplot still ends up lost in the bombastic third act, it reminds viewers why journalism is a profession worthy of Superman. (ED) 174. Players (2024). In a romantic comedy this juiceless, you must savor joy as you can — like surprisingly accurate bits about the Kronos Quartet or unexpected focus on the work of a data journalist (Damon Wayans, Jr.). He’s among a group of single Brooklyn reporters whose evenings consist of convoluted cons intended for them all to get lucky — an endeavor of lying both fundamentally antithetical to their careers and almost impossibly expensive for their salaries. (“Fast & Furious” or “Mission: Impossible” heists cost less than these bar tabs.) When a sportswriter (Gina Rodriguez) stuck covering chess-boxing and turtle racing meets a dashing war correspondent (Tom Ellis), she decides she’s ready for long-term love and the group runs its biggest play yet. Unlike the interrogation-room scheme of most streaming romantic comedies, “Players” is lit like a real movie. It’s the nicest thing to say about it, as the exertion Rodriguez and Wayans exhibit to keep this watchable will just make you wish they had different agents. Even less believable than the romantic fantasy: One well-written feature story will save you when the layoffs arrive. (NR) 173. The Shrine (2010). There comes a time in every reporter’s career when they simply can’t resist the urge to investigate a ritualistic cult in a small Polish village, and “The Shrine” is one of the few movies on this list to really explore that journalistic phenomenon in depth. Even if you can overlook the wall-to-wall shoddy acting, this is a rather limp “Evil Dead” knockoff with some passable practical effects and a story that revolves around a thuddingly obvious central mystery. However, if you want to see a movie whose third act is mostly a bunch of Abercrombie models running around in monastery robes, this might be your best bet. (MR) 172. Truth (2015). Short of George Clooney, no heartthrob turned Hollywood royalty has stepped to bat for journalism as readily as Robert Redford. As this list will show, Redford’s average took a ding in recent years. But the star doesn’t even bother to take Wonderboy off his shoulder here, playing Dan Rather in James Vanderbilt’s dim 2015 dramatization of his last days at CBS after an inaccurately reported story regarding George W. Bush’s military service. Even if “Truth” hadn’t opened in the same year as “Spotlight,” its superficial grandstanding about rigged systems and agendas would feel like a production staffed by understudies. (NR) 171. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997). James Bond faces off against megalomaniacal journalist Elliot Carver (Jonathan Pryce) in the 18th 007 film. Pierce Brosnan’s Bond outings trended from outlandish to absurd. This is no different, infused with John Woo-inspired gunplay and Wai Lin (Michelle Yeoh), a Chinese agent every bit Bond’s equal. Together, they thwart Carver’s plans to monopolize the 24-hour news market by starting World War III. Not one of Bond’s best, but Pryce is memorable as the last traditionally wacky/topical Bond villain. “I have my divisions: TV, news, magazines,” Carver rants. Little does he know Facebook will supplant him in a half-decade. Just don’t pivot to video, Elliot. (ED 170. Greed (2019). “Greed” starts off as a juicy eat-the-rich satire but ultimately dries up into unearned dramatic territory. Steve Coogan stars as retail tycoon Sir Richard “Greedy” McCreadie, a thinly veiled stand-in for British fashion mogul Philip Green, and David Mitchell is Nick Morris, the nebbish journalist/biographer following McCreadie around to ghost-write a flattering memoir. Set during an extravagant party much like Green’s real-life jamborees, the film flashes back to McCreadie’s past as a boarding school brat and traces his rise and fall in the fashion industry. Not until the third act does co-writer / director Michael Winterbottom really focus on the fact that McCreadie’s empire was built on the backs of Sri Lankan women working in sweatshops. The ending title cards aim to shock us with disturbing facts about the fashion industry and the socioeconomic disparity involved, but after 90-plus minutes of Coogan hamming it up for humor’s sake, this information feels like it belongs in a better film. Like Nick, “Greed” commits the journalistic sin of glossing over the victims of a charming devil. (SW) 169. Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter (1990). This Canadian horror-comedy plays like a cross between the ultraviolent Troma shenanigans of “The Toxic Avenger” and the gloopy, radioactive B-horror of “The Incredible Melting Man,” but it never quite captures the micro-budget magic of those accidental masterpieces. “Revenge of the Radioactive Reporter” serves as a harrowing lesson to journalists: Do not stand over a vat of nuclear waste when interviewing an evil head of a nuclear power plant, where he can easily push you in with absolutely no witnesses. In this instance, it causes our heroic reporter, Mike R. Wave (ha!), to return as a disfigured mutant hellbent on revenge — a story we hear about far too often in real-world journalism. (MR) 168. The Last Letter from Your Lover (2021). A silly, if sweet, melodrama about two generations of lovers helping inspire one another to follow their hearts’ true paths. In the 1960s, Jennifer (Shailene Woodley) loses her memory and must use letters to remind herself of the man she loved. In the present day, young journalist Ellie (Felicity Jones) discovers Jennifer’s letters. She’s inspired to find out how the old love story ended and finds herself in a position to write its final chapter. Ellie’s story is the more interesting of the two, particularly because Jones is a far better performer than Woodley and gets to have a lot more fun as an idealistic reporter finally able to sink her teeth into a meaningful story. (ED) 167. Alien Seed (1989). Move over, “Spotlight:” Here’s an even more incendiary tale of investigative journalism and institutional corruption. When Mary (Shellie Block) is inexplicably impregnated by an alien lifeform, no one will believe her … except for daring and roguish newspaper reporter Dr. Stone (Erik Estrada). In this world, reporters have the same level of combat training and espionage skills as James Bond, albeit without even a fraction of the budget. For a movie called “Alien Seed,” there’s very little alien action but plenty of no-budget car chases, clumsy shootouts, blood squibs, government spooks and a bizarre amount of erotic dancers. It’s a low-rent curio that often feels like you’re watching a pornographic parody of “The X-Files” on a scrambled channel. (MR) 166. Francis Covers the Big Town (1953). Journalists need sources. In movies they’re usually cops, criminals or spurned wives. It doesn’t matter as long as the information is flowing, right? So what about a talking mule? “Francis Covers the Big Town” was the fourth adventure of the titular talking Army mule and his human pal, Peter (Donald O’Connor), who spent most of the 1950s falling into silly situations together. This time around, Peter brings his four-legged pal to the Big Apple in hopes of finding civilian work at a newspaper. He hopes to land a few big stories and end up becoming part of the newsroom. Soon enough, they find themselves in heaps of trouble. “Francis Covers the Big Town” is silly for what it is, mixing Francis with pretty standard newspaper-drama fare; among fans of this series, it seems to be one of the more well-regarded entries. (ED) 165.The Fifth Estate (2013). Despite being penned by Josh Singer, the screenwriter behind two of this list’s best journalism films (“The Post” and “Spotlight”), “The Fifth Estate” is a scattershot slog. A biographical thriller about the daring feats of the controversial news site WikiLeaks, it ironically grows less interesting as its subject, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch), takes more risks. That’s because the bulk of the film boils down to him butting heads with co-founder Daniel Berg (Daniel Brühl), who’s far more cautious. We get it, Julian, you live on the edge, and that’s why your hair’s lightning-white. Director Bill Condon brings some visual flair to the otherwise tiresome hyped-up letdown. (SW) 164. Front Page Woman (1935). Bette Davis and George Brent are rival reporters racing to scoop each other on the salacious murder of a Broadway producer. Being the era it was, they strike a bet in which the wager is Davis’s romantic affection. There’s plenty of snappy patter, Davis brings her signature vulpine physicality, and the hijinks culminate in a slightly amusing “Dewey Defeats Truman” moment. But there are long segments where Davis, easily the main attraction, is scooted to the side in favor of Brent chasing clues, and in regard to the incredibly voluminous sexism, what a difference five years would make between this and “His Girl Friday.” (NR)There’s plenty of snappy patter, Davis brings her signature vulpine physicality, and the hijinks culminate in a slightly amusing “Dewey Defeats Truman” moment. But there are long segments where Davis, easily the main attraction, is scooted to the side in favor of Brent chasing clues, and in regard to the incredibly voluminous sexism, what a difference five years would make between this and His Girl Friday (NR) 163. Dance, Fools, Dance (1931). Rich kids lose their family fortune (and their father) when the stock market crashes in 1929. The sister, Bonnie (Joan Crawford), gets a real job in the predominantly male world of news reporting. Meanwhile, her brother, Rodney (William Bakewell) immediately latches onto a mobster played by Clark Gable, which leads to a litany of crimes and murders … that Bonnie must investigate. This pre-Code tale features such scandalous material as coed parties and clothed night-swimming. Crawford is the best part of the story, with plenty of close-ups that give her the full frame and allow her to tell the increasingly anguished story solely through her expressions. An enjoyable Great Depression-era tale. (ED) 162. He Said, She Said (1991). There’s a moment on this film’s titular man-versus-woman TV debate show in which Lorie Bryer (Elizabeth Perkins) throws a coffee cup at co-host Dan Hanson (Kevin Bacon). But by now we’ve seen far worse. Just three years after the film’s release, NFL quarterback Jim Everett flipped a table on sports host Jim Rome’s talk show. And then there’s that slap during the Academy Awards. While it’s charming to watch this film foreshadow TV’s deep dive into sensationalism, it’s tiresome to see it offer the same shopworn take on the differences between men and women, especially given its novel directorial approach toward shifting perspectives. (Creative and romantic couple Ken Kwapis and Marisa Silver respectively directed the separate male and female sides of the film’s story.) In Dan’s retelling of his romance with Lorie, he is at once sleazy and smooth, selfish and supportive. She plays it cool but ultimately falls for him. In Lorie’s version, though, she is oddly desperate and jealous, and she puts up with Dan’s selfishness and stupidity over and over again. So, sadly, in both accounts, the archetypal piggish newsman comes out on top. That might have been fun to watch in 1991, but now it’s depressing. (SW) 161. Blood on the Sun (1945) The second film from James Cagney’s namesake production company won an Academy Award (for black-and-white art direction), but this vanity project/propaganda piece proved a financial failure. Cagney is Nick Condon, a fictionalized American editor in early 1930s Tokyo seeking proof of the Tanaka Memorial, a real-world document that outlined Japan’s imperial plans for global domination but has since been widely debunked as a forgery meant to foment discord between China and Japan. Before slugging a traitorous colleague in the face, Condon does find time to pen a sandbagging front-page editorial about the guy. But the film generally finds Cagney flirting with Sylvia Sidney’s femme fatale, showing off the judo skills he learned for the role and speaking in occasional Japanese with his “dirty rat” voice. Released on the wane of World War II, “Blood on the Sun” falls in line with its era’s lamentable parlances and yellowface performances, and it uses a pretext of thrills to assure Americans that the atomic bombs dropped on Japan were of material use. Neither is a surprise, but that leans its legacy toward Hollywood indignity rather than journalistic integrity. (NR) 160. Shock and Awe (2017). This film, which is basically director Rob Reiner’s “Spotlite,” follows the Knight Ridder reporting team, which is regarded as the one that called out the lies initiating the Iraq War before anyone else. “Shock and Awe” focuses on reporters Warren Strobel (Woody Harrelson) and Jonathan Landay (James Marsden) as they cut through the web of deception that launched the invasion and eventually uncover the fact that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction. It’s a compelling story that’s awkwardly executed. For example, screenwriter Joey Hartstone squeezes in something of a romantic-comedy subplot involving Marsden and Jessica Biel, playing his next-door neighbor who studies up on Iraq to impress him. You can see where this filler came from, as the film mostly just hits the talking points about the Iraq War with which we’re all too familiar by now. “Cheney’s lying!” Strobel and Landay shout simultaneously in the newsroom before high-fiving and hugging each other. Again, awkward. (SW) 159. In the Navy (1941). The second film in a trilogy of pre-World War II Armed Services-set comedies by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello designed to help with the peacetime draft, this adventure follows the duo playing two everyday sailors who get caught up in a celebrity’s attempt to anonymously join the military. Tommy (Dick Powell) wants to leave showbiz to serve his country and Dorothy (Claire Dodd) is the reporter who just won’t let him. Abbott and Costello deliver their classic straight-man/goof routine, with the then-hot Andrews Sisters appearing for some musical numbers thanks to their contract with Universal. (ED) 158. Bruce Almighty (2003). In Tom Shadyac’s comedy, Jim Carrey plays a TV newsman tired of puff pieces who, when passed over for an anchorman promotion, wigs out, gets fired and admonishes God. Before you can say “high concept,” he’s given the big guy’s powers. Spiritual enlightenment is served as a side dish to the main course of orgasm and orifice jokes. Steve Carell gets the film’s only good scene, easily YouTubed, with an on-air gibberish seizure Bruce brings on; Carell would reprise his role in an even more dismal sequel, “Evan Almighty.” Mainly, this violates the 11th Commandment: Thou shalt not try to make people forget “Groundhog Day.” (NR) 157. Capricorn One (1978). Peter Hyams’ thriller take on the faked moon landing conspiracy theories concerns three astronauts roped into faking their own journey to Mars and back. An intrepid reporter named Caulfield (Elliott Gould) is the only man capable of uncovering the truth. It’s a post-Watergate story that plays on the late-1970s distrust in American institutions, governmental and journalistic; Caulfield’s editor-in-chief thinks nothing of the attempts on his employee’s life or how the dots connect because the idea feels outlandish to him. A thrilling first two acts give way to a somewhat hokey denouement, though, saved largely by a surprising and colorful cameo. (ED) 156. Continental Divide (1981). Screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan conceived it as Mike Royko meets Jane Goodall. But with “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Grand Canyon,” “The Big Chill” and a couple of “Star Wars” films on his résumé, it’s no surprise that many have forgotten this weak attempt to turn bad boy John Belushi into a romantic-comedy hero. Blair Brown fares better. (LH) 155. True Story (2015). Although better known for comedic endeavors, James Franco and Jonah Hill are no dramatic slouches. But these two Oscar-nominated actors bomb fast and hard in Rupert Goold’s overwrought 2015 tale of overreach and deceit that’s hilarious for all the wrong reasons. Fired by the New York Times after a breach of ethics, Michael Finkel (Hill) learns a murder suspect (Franco) has been using his identity and investigates the matter further. Is this film based on Finkel’s book of the same name a meditation on the mindset of fabulists like James Frey or Stephen Glass? A gripping psychological thriller? A takedown of every writer’s dream about a memorable memoir? A good movie? On all counts, “True Story” rings false. (NR) 154. Impulse (2024). There are many films named “Impulse.” But how many feature a dominatrix assassin using intimacy devices in dangerous ways to do the bidding of her Illuminati-ish masters? It’s all part of the “Pizzagate 2.0” rabbit hole down which Globalist News Network reporter Sofia (Dajana Gudić) tumbles in lieu of the travel and leisure beat. “It’s not an obsessive side project,” Sofia scowls. “It’s called investigative journalism.” The trail leads Sofia to both cult figurehead Zane (Nick Cassavetes), whose group knows not of mercy because it is a “loser’s virtue,” and to … OK. Look. “Impulse” is not a good movie in any conventional sense. But it is never once trying to be. Instead, it grafts timeworn traditions of exploitation films onto the sort of contemporary conspiracies people conjure from their pointillist dots of paranoia. It’s also stuffed with dunderheaded diatribes trying to echo the eloquence of “Glengarry Glen Ross,” from-nowhere flashbacks in which characters somehow appear older, jaw-droppingly tasteless narrative developments, and a child actor whose big moment inadvertently channels the “Do the roar!” kid from “Shrek Forever After.” This is nothing but a purposefully crazypants endeavor with an endlessly elastic waistband — albeit one with a moment where multiple media outlets parrot the same lightning-rod talking point to let you know where its head is at and an amusing interpretation on the maxim that if your mother tells you she loves you, check it out. (NR) 153. College Confidential (1960). In the midst of a trial about his student sex survey, college sociology professor Steve McInter asks scribbling reporters why they are “so determined to find dirt.” Of course, his question is targeted more toward the townspeople who attracted the media’s attention. This moment from a 1960 film wouldn’t be out of place today, especially in light of recent international news about an Indiana library censoring material concerning teen sex. However, most of “College Confidential” is hilariously dated, with characters clutching their pearls like the comically sheltered citizens of “Pleasantville.” The screenplay struggles to balance satire and sincerity, and the third act feels far too heavy given the breezy tone of earlier portions. But as Professor McInter, Steve Allen keeps “College Confidential” grounded and engaging. And as the New York Times reporter hot on his trail, Jayne Meadows stirs up suspense about whether he will be “executed in print.” (SW) 152. The Photograph (2020). Michael (LaKeith Stanfield) is a yuppie New York reporter sent to New Orleans to interview residents about life after Hurricane Katrina. While there, he learns about a subject’s long-lost love and sets out to find her. Coincidentally, the lost love’s daughter, Mae (Issa Rae), is determined to learn about her late mother’s past, thanks to photographs left to her in a safety deposit box. Fate brings Michael and Mae together, beautiful people destined for a beautiful union. “The Photograph” is tasteful, sultry Valentine’s Day programming, set in a world where Michael’s work writing about random folks lands him the love of his life and a sweet new job in London. Saxophones and tinkling xylophones play when Michael and Mae make love for the first time; they reprise as Michael sits at his computer looking at a blank page, wondering how to describe it all for an audience of, surely, dozens. (ED) 151. Mad City (1997). Equal-opportunity opportunism abounds in a 1997 drama from Oscar-winner Costa-Gavras (“Z,” “Missing”) too timid to tackle its media machinations or manipulations with thoughtful talk. In a twitchy, unintentionally amusing turn and resembling an “SNL”-skit Wolverine, John Travolta is a laid-off museum security guard who instigates a hostage situation. Dustin Hoffman is the disgraced TV newsman stuck inside who tries manipulating the situation to his advantage. Hoffman is pro-forma fine and Alan Alda’s egotistical-weasel shtick (as a rival news anchor) is always a delight. But this is a 2-7 offsuit hand futilely bluffing its way to an “Ace in the Hole.” (NR) 150. The Shipping News (2001). The Newfoundland locations are more interesting than the quirky characters in an overstuffed literary adaptation about a newspaperman (Kevin Spacey) and his daughter moving back to his ancestral home. The staff at his new paper includes Pete Postlethwaite and Scott Glenn. (LH) 149. Beaks (aka Birds of Prey) (1987). Megavision TV news reporter Vanessa Cartwright (Michelle Johnson) majored in journalism, not animal husbandry. So she’s bummed to be covering animal-based feature stories about … blindfolded men shooting birds (a story during which she deadpans “It’s amazing what people will do for the sheer entertainment of it”). Then again, it’s a seemingly global beat, as Vanessa and cameraman Peter (Christopher Atkins of “The Blue Lagoon”) jet around the world on the company dime. “The world’s got bird fever!” Peter yells. Too bad that’s because our winged friends have taken to random, violent assaults against mankind, most ending with eyeballs plucked from sockets in ways that would do proud Italian gore-meisters like Lucio Fulci. Hailing from noted Mexican exploitation filmmaker René Cardona, Jr., “Beaks” rests somewhere between the intentional amateurishness of the “Birdemic” films and the low-budget schlock of “The Birds II: Land’s End” (a real movie you now know exists). Hazarding a guess, no animal advocacy groups were on set to monitor well-being; otherwise, how could there be so many insane images of fast-moving real-life birds accosting helpless toddlers and heroic elderly men? “Beaks” teases that these birds are reincarnations of Incan warriors or are somehow responding to strange activity along Nazca Lines. What’s the real story? Don’t ask Peter or Vanessa. They are generally too busy getting busy (with body doubles, of course), and their in-the-field ineptitude means their footage is likely terrible. (NR) 148. Bombshell (2019). “Bombshell” tries to be many things at once: a history lesson, a three-lead exploration of cutthroat corporate politics and an exposé on the ever-present imbalance of workplace power between men and women. It doesn’t do any of these particularly well, having bitten off more than it can chew. One scene captures the story’s lack of focused intent: Kayla (Margot Robbie) is asked to do something for Fox News CEO/chairman Roger Ailes. Through camera placement, it also becomes a show for the audience, without the film ever contemplating its own gaze. Are we all complicit in the culture of abuse? Hardly questioned. It’s a #MeToo movie for those who don’t really believe in #MeToo. (ED) 147. Livin’ Large (1991). A harmless bit of nonsense concerning Dexter (Terence “T.C.” Carter), a young man who yearns to be a TV reporter. When a journalist is shot on camera during a hostage crisis, Dexter seizes the moment and wins a spot on the news team. Of course, there can’t be a happy ending after 15 minutes. Problems arise as Dexter’s news director transforms his style into something she sees as more palatable to mainstream audiences. Nothing terribly original here, but the sprightly cast, Herbie Hancock’s score and Dexter’s visions of an increasingly white version of himself (shades of “Get Out”) add some interest. (LH) 146. Godzilla: King of the Monsters! (1954). Journalism became the in-story perspective on Godzilla, Japan’s monstrous cultural icon, only when American studios imported Ishirō Honda’s original film, cut it to ribbons and added a white reporter (Raymond Burr) as a Western vantage point on the story. This version had a definitive impact on the character’s further adventures, which frequently returned to reporters and newscasters as its primary human characters. Why not? If you need eyes on the wake of a giant, irradiated lizard stomping through Tokyo, who better to follow than those bravely chasing him for the story? (ED) 145. The Hunting Party (2007). Another journalist melts down. This time, it’s Simon (Richard Gere), who years later teams up with two colleagues (Terrence Howard and Jesse Eisenberg) to track down a war criminal. The opening disclaimer, “Only the most ridiculous parts of this story are true,” gives a clear idea of the tone. (LH) 144. The Soloist (2009). The most surprising thing in Joe Wright’s 2009 drama about the relationship between a Los Angeles Times columnist and a homeless classical musician? Robert Downey Jr. is twice doused in urine. Otherwise, “The Soloist” can’t decide whether it wants to be a musical biopic, sappy drama or social commentary. Disjointed as it might be, Susannah Grant’s screenplay at least captures the peril of a newsroom dwindling in bodies with poignancy and truth — a concern only exacerbated in the ensuing decade. (NR) 143. Veronica Guerin (2003). Meant less as entertainment than a message about the importance of a free press … but at what cost? Cate Blanchett plays the title character, a journalist whose investigations into Ireland’s underground drug trade got her killed in June 1996. Quiet but rarely ruminative, Joel Schumacher’s 2003 film vacillates between ego and altruism as her motivation. The result: An uneasy blend of insanity and martyrdom. At least Blanchett is great. Perhaps the biopic blessing propped up the filmmakers on this one; this same story was done, with names changed and starring Joan Allen, three years earlier as “When the Sky Falls.” (NR) 142. Headline Hunters (1955). A scrappy young writer in over his head and seeking justice via byline. A cynical old reporter who’s seen too much to care. An editor who just wants to get his paper published despite the fevered egos he’s forced to manage. Sound familiar? “Headline Hunters” plays all the genre hits in a tidy tale of two men forced to realize just what it means to be an ace reporter. Recent graduate David Flynn (Ben Cooper) arrives in the big city ready to make a name for himself. He quickly stumbles into a murder conspiracy that goes all the way to the D.A.’s office — but nobody will listen to him! Not even Hugh Woodruff (Rod Cameron), the newspaper’s most celebrated reporter. Can he save the life of an innocent man using the power of words? This is standard fare, but at least it features colorful dialogue like, “We can make an awful lot of noise with a duet — and I’ve brought the music!” (ED) 141. Gaily, Gaily (1969). Theoretically based on the autobiography of Ben Hecht (the reporter who co-wrote “The Front Page”), this Norman Jewison film features newcomer Beau Bridges as a breast-centric rube who moves to Chicago, lands a job at a newspaper and, thanks to a prostitute (Margot Kidder), acquires a notebook with evidence of political bribes and kickbacks. (LH) 140. Hero (1992). In this wannabe Frank Capra-esque misfire, a pickpocket (Dustin Hoffman) looking for loot at a plane crash site rescues a TV reporter (Geena Davis). Her boss (Chevy Chase) offers a reward, a homeless veteran (Andy Garcia) takes credit and, well, you are better off watching “Meet John Doe.” (LH) 139. Street Smart (1987). Christopher Reeve’s 1987 pet project — financed by Cannon Films in exchange for his return to “Superman IV: The Quest for Peace — is best remembered as the film for which Morgan Freeman earned his first Oscar nomination. Jonathan Fisher (Reeve) is a New York freelancer who fabricates a profile of a pimp to save his job. Fast Black (Freeman) is the actual pimp who exploits coincidental similarities in Fisher’s piece to beat a murder rap. Fact checkers will justifiably peace out early on Jerry Schatzberg’s improbable and boring drama that deigns to make Fisher the hero even after he dangles his girlfriend as pimp bait. So should you, as Freeman’s performance doesn’t justify the casual racism that colors the story. (NR) 138. The Rum Diary (2011). Bruce Robinson — the filmmaker behind “Withnail & I,” an uproarious love-letter to degeneracy — should be the perfect choice to adapt Hunter S. Thompson’s purported “lost novel,” and yet “The Rum Diary” never quite comes to life. Johnny Depp, once again playing a Thompson surrogate, is asleep at the wheel here — not once showing any of the manic enthusiasm he brought to “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” 13 years prior (and a few places higher on this list). Only Aaron Eckhart, playing a smarmy real-estate developer, seems to be having any fun with the material. Mostly, the movie just plods along from one limp comic set piece to the next when it should be galloping with drunken abandon. (MR) 137. Quarantine (2008). Every found-footage horror flick needs a reason why its characters would continue filming even as bloody chaos erupts around them. In the case of 2008’s “Quarantine” (a remake of the Spanish-language “REC”), Jennifer Carpenter’s local TV anchor is following firemen on a night shift when an apartment-complex call finds them trapped in a zombie-infested quarantine zone. The news crew’s camera equipment puts this a notch above the grainy handheld footage of that year’s better-received ”Cloverfield.” Most importantly, these journalists show a true knowledge of their craft when one of them uses the station’s camera to bash in a zombie’s brain. (MR) 136. The Interview (2014). Desperate for a story of substance, a vapid TV personality (James Franco) and his producer (Seth Rogen) land an exclusive interview in North Korea with Kim Jong-Un. It would surprise no one that the more serious journalism surrounded the film itself. After release date delays, terrorist threats and hacks that jeopardized the Sony studio, this 2014 comedy (directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg) was largely scuttled to online rental services. Headlines strained to politicize the film. But it’s merely a crass, caustic comedy whose point of view is to not let cultural coverage brainwash the best out of us — whether it involves human rights or celebrity hairpieces. (NR) 135. Eyewitness (1981). A janitor named Daryll (William Hurt, hot off “Altered States”) who’s infatuated with TV newswoman Tony Sokolow (Sigourney Weaver, hot off “Alien”) misrepresents his view of a murder to get close to her, endangering them both. Peter Yates’ initially promising 1981 thriller becomes a turgid trifle that wastes its ’40s-noir-in-’80s-fashion premise and a who’s-who of supporting players (Christopher Plummer, Morgan Freeman, James Woods, Steven Hill). Tony sleeps with Daryll in pursuit of the story, a decision “Eyewitness” contextualizes only through her wealth and his comparative poverty. The only thing more anemic than this blue-blood commentary? Hurt and Weaver’s sexual chemistry. Film at 11, asleep by 11:30. (NR) 134. Godzilla (1998). Roland Emmerich’s much-derided take on the King of the Monsters hasn’t aged well despite what nostalgic fans might tell you. The front half is fine. The back half, well … let’s just say nobody showed up to “Godzilla” looking for “Jurassic Park,” OK? That said: With hindsight, it’s easier to give Emmerich a little credit for adopting certain hallmarks of the genre, including putting his little cast of human heroes in the most fundamental kaiju-movie roles: brilliant scientist, dogged spy and ace reporter looking for a scoop. Here, the last of those is Audrey (Maria Pitillo), whose arc exemplifies both the classic Toho plot-mover role and the girl-power nature of 1990s blockbuster cinema as she navigates the demeaning behavior of her boss, Charles (Harry Shearer). None of it is great, but it’s a surprisingly beefy part and it’s hard to hate her cameraman, Animal (Hank Azaria). The scene where he’s almost crushed by Godzilla but ends up between the monster’s toes? Classic. (ED) 133. Black Like Me (1964). The premise seems hokey: White journalist undergoes skin pigmentation to experience life in the American south as a Black man. And the makeup job on James Whitmore is distractingly unconvincing. But the treatment — based on the experience of journalist John Howard Griffin — is sincere, the low-budget location shooting gives it a suitable harshness, and strong support from such never-got-their-due actors as Roscoe Lee Browne and Will Geer add gravitas. An oddity for sure, but an interesting one. (LH) 132. Morning Glory (2010). Roger Michell’s “working girl” comedy follows Becky (Rachel McAdams), an ambitious television producer who believes in the power of morning-show programming but can’t quite get her personal life in check. She deals with romantic drama while trying to balance silly segments and actual news. Stop me if you’ve heard this one. What sets “Morning Glory” apart is the presence of Harrison Ford as the curmudgeonly traditional journalist whom Becky forces into the role of a puff-piece presenter on a show he finds beneath him. Nobody plays grumpy like Ford, even when he’s cooking a frittata. (ED) 131. The Pelican Brief (1997). Director Alan J. Pakula’s first appearance on the list is this 1993 adaptation of John Grisham’s bestseller about a beltway reporter (Denzel Washington) and law student (Julia Roberts) investigating the assassinations of two Supreme Court justices. More long than limber, “Pelican” isn’t on par with Pakula’s preeminent paranoid cinema. But depicting a POTUS at odds with his FBI director and creating obstruction of justice concerns aligns it with Pakula’s preternaturally predictive potboilers. Plus, Gray Grantham is a GOAT name for a reporter, and Washington finds sensitivity and humility beneath his bespoke pizzazz. A few reportorial conveniences, but hey: If you’re on the run with a friend, find one with whom to share trauma and a byline. (NR) 130. Blacklight (2022). This AARP “Eraser” represents a ceiling for the action movies Liam Neeson once swore he was done with, benefiting from low expectations and the reasonable simulation of a soul for Neeson’s character – an FBI fixer embroiled in a conspiracy concerning the assassination of an ambitious congressional candidate. He also becomes the proxy protector of Mira Jones (Emmy Raver-Lampmann), the scooter-driving, dog-walking D.C. reporter suspicious of the official story. Points to “Blacklight” for not pushing Mira to the periphery; she’s essentially the film’s co-lead even if she’s reliant more on caffeinated editorial assistants and convenient coincidence than investigative verve. Dings for the narrative muscles pulled to push Mira’s story-stealing soccer-fanatic editor into danger and title-metaphor dialogue in desperate need of a copy desk: “Take note of the obvious and then scrutinize what the obvious obscures, like an ultraviolet light illuminating what the naked eye can’t see.” It’s no “democracy dies in darkness,” but much like “Blacklight,” it ticks the box. (NR) 129. Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004). Nobody went to writer-director Kerry Conran’s visually groundbreaking homage to action serials (shot almost entirely in front of a greenscreen) to gauge Gwyneth Paltrow’s embodiment of reportage principles as Polly Perkins, a New York reporter circa 1939. Next to nobody went anyway, consigning this uniquely beautiful curio to cult status as “300” broke the bank with a similar scheme three years later. The only thing more supernatural than “Sky Captain’s” sinister plot hatched at the edge of Shangri-La is how miscast Paltrow is in the film. Angelina Jolie displays more pep, vim and verve in five minutes than Paltrow does in 105, and the extent of Polly’s professional vigor extends to her scolding of a source that she has a deadline to meet. Polly is, um, really good at discovering small, narratively convenient scraps of paper to propel “Sky Captain” to its next plot point. Otherwise, she’s constantly losing her camera, her film and our sympathies throughout. (NR) 128. Welcome to Sarajevo (1997). Early on, there are promising scenes exploring the challenges of reporting on a war that few back home remotely understand, let alone those directly affected. And the rivalry between the British reporter (Stephen Dillane) and a hotshot American (Woody Harrelson) rings true. But the mix of documentary footage and fictional scenes doesn’t gel as the plot rambles into a journalistic-distance-be-damned attempt to rescue a busload of orphans. (LH) 127. Blondes At Work (1938). Torchy Blane (Glenda Farrell) is a hotshot reporter with “ink in her blood and a nose for news.” She always gets the scoop. Always. Until, that is, a police commissioner tired of the trouble her stories make for him orders Torchy’s fiancé, Lt. McBride (Barton MacLane) to stop discussing work with her. “Why don’t you muzzle that girl or marry her?” he screams. One problem: McBride’s investigations rely on her sources as much as hers rely on his. It’s a parallel race between the two of them as they try to solve the murder of a wealthy heir without their usual teamwork. Farrell played Torchy Blane in seven hour-long serials between 1937 and 1939; “Blondes at Work” is often rated near the top of that series, regarded for its sharp dialogue and clever plotting. The hyper-competent Blane disappeared from the serials after ’39, but she inspired an even more iconic fictional reporter: Lois Lane. (ED) 126. Cry Freedom (1987). In this rare Hollywood film looking at apartheid, the first half — focused on the friendship between South African leader Steven Biko (Denzel Washington) and white South African editor Donald Woods (Kevin Kline) — is significantly more relevant and interesting than the second half. That’s when the editor takes center stage in his attempt to cross the border after Biko’s death and the movie becomes another case of forcing a Black story through a white lens. (LH) 125. Rush Week (1989). Journalism and horror genres rarely intersect as they do in “Rush Week,” a reasonably entertaining if not particularly esoteric late-1980s slasher film. Nubile young coeds at Tambers College, home of the Tornadoes, are being slaughtered by a masked, berobed murderer using a double-bladed executioner’s axe. Newly transferred Tori (Pamela Ludwig) is assigned to write about the Greek system’s rush week for the cleverly named “Tornado Watch” student newspaper. Naturally, Tori winds up having to uncover the killer: Is it the perverted photographer? The creepy custodian? The sensitive stud? The dismissive dean? The film is an amusing time capsule of computer technology (oh, those green-screen CRTs!), brick-sized tape recorders and onscreen appearances by Gregg Allman (here as the paper’s faculty advisor, who’s often too busy meditating with topless women to shape a new generation of journalists). It’s so-so sleazy and modestly queasy, but the killer sports a fun ghoulish get-up, the red herrings are robust, there’s even a character named McGuffin. And Tori gets her story! (NR) 124. The French Dispatch (2021). Pop auteur Wes Anderson’s 10th film is a stylish ode to longform magazines like The New Yorker, which fostered its own breed of journalistic reporting in the mid-20th century. Writers such as A.J. Liebling, James Baldwin and Joseph Mitchell are given analogs as Anderson constructs his own visual version of an anthology magazine, each portion of the film taking on its own genre and stylistic sensibility. That was the goal, anyway; given the director’s extreme style, the three stories feel more or less the same, and their focus is on the narration rather than the action and characters onscreen. Despite moments of worth (and an impressive cast), the result is a cold and strangely unaffecting work. The framing device seems like it could’ve been a much more interesting story to follow, as editor Arthur Howitzer (Bill Murray) and his hand-picked staff of writers plan his posthumous final issue. This is an ode to good writing that makes you wish you were reading it rather than watching it. (ED) 123. Each Dawn I Die (1939). James Cagney stars as Frank Ross, a newspaper reporter on the trail of Jesse Hanley, a corrupt district attorney played by Thurston Hall. Hanley tires of Ross’s inquisitive nature and frames him in one of the most unnecessarily elaborate schemes put to the silver screen. Soon enough, our hero is stuck behind bars for the next two decades. His journalistic skills come in handy and he befriends several inmates, including gangster “Hood” Stacy (George Raft). They set out to clear Ross’s name against all odds. The film is predominantly a prison drama with the newspaper stuff only tangentially related to the plot, which ends in a shockingly violent prison riot. It’s an entertaining yarn with a great title. (ED) 122. The Blue Gardenia (1953). The first in Fritz Lang’s “newspaper noir” trilogy, which also includes “While the City Sleeps” and “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt.” Here, “The Blue Gardenia” recalls the case of the Black Dahlia with its title and exploration of media sensationalism surrounding murder. The film follows a telephone operator (Anne Baxter) as she tries to piece together a drunken night of debauchery that seemingly finds her making headlines as the titular killer. Richard Conte co-stars as the reckless reporter eager to turn her into “hot copy” for the fictional Los Angeles Chronicle. The film falls flat as it obligatorily creates romantic tension between them. Otherwise, it stands out as a darkly funny, biting satire of people’s hunger for celebrity — or even the most extreme notoriety. A particularly comic scene finds Conte’s character answering dozens of calls from citizens claiming to be the murderer in question. It’s scary what fiction we will cook up to see our names in ink hot off the press. (SW) 121. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016). Unlike cinematic military comedies from Abbott and Costello movies to “Stripes,” this one is based on the memoir of an actual journalist, The Chicago Tribune’s Kim Barker. That lends a bit of authenticity — even though her job is changed from print to broadcast. It’s hard to make a comedy about wartime journalism, particularly one so fraught with political landmines as the war in Afghanistan. Baker represents one of Tina Fey’s more serious turns during her brief moment as a lead actress in this surprisingly funny, never-dismissive look at life inside America’s controversial conflict. Baker brings the audience along on her tour of firefights, conflicting sources and crotchety, unfriendly army commanders. This 2016 film takes an empathetic view of the soldiers and those covering them, if not the war itself. It’s a novel approach for a genre that usually relies on grit and grime to characterize front-line reporting. (ED) 120. Most Wanted (2020). Writer-director Daniel Roby’s Canadian film occasionally resembles a scrappier, grimier, one-nation-north version of “The Insider.” Conveyed in a crosshatched, non-linear style, this true-life tale dramatizes the late-1980s Thailand arrest of Canadian citizen Alain Oliver (fictionalized here and impressively played by Antoine Olivier Pilon as a troubled kid out of options and in too deep). Josh Hartnett plays Victor Malarek, the Globe and Mail reporter who untangled a plot involving overzealous and underhanded cops, as well as a small-time drug dealer (Jim Gaffigan, who brings palpable menace to cognitive-whiplash stunt casting). Roby tries to cram far too much into two hours, but Hartnett propels his portions with a puckish personality, and there are frank, funny and sometimes fraught exchanges with his editor (J.C. MacKenzie). Although it would benefit from a bigger canvas, “Most Wanted” remains a keen, timely treatise on systematic law-enforcement strong-arming tactics and the urgent need to expose them. (NR) 119. Stars at Noon (2022). Director Claire Denis’ “Stars at Noon” — adapted from a novel of the same name by Denis Johnson — is a moody, sensual and deeply cynical portrait of young reporter Trish (Margaret Qualley), who’s stranded in Nicaragua. The country’s upcoming election continues to get delayed, and judging by the ominous presence of state police walking around with machine guns, the nation seems to be on the verge of a fascist takeover. Trish has spent the past several months covering political killings to little interest from her United States employers, and now she’s resorting to sex work to kill time and make some extra cash. Denis’ movie isn’t interested in saying much about journalism, politics or even sex (which Trish has a lot of when she meets a shady British businessman played by Joe Alwyn). Instead, it revels in the moodiness and hopelessness that runs through these characters. For those willing to get on its wavelength, “Stars at Noon” is an intoxicating trip to nowhere. (MR) 118. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). Terry Gilliam’s 1998 film has achieved cult status with frat-boy stoners nationwide, primarily for Johnny Depp’s unrestrained performance as journalist Hunter S. Thompson (portrayed earlier by Bill Murray in 1980’s “Where the Buffalo Roam” and by Depp again, in fictitious proxy, for 2011’s “The Rum Diary”). Less discussed, though, is its depiction of anarchic journalism, which is all but dead today. Thompson was an insufferable oaf, but pale imitations of his “gonzo” prose still prevail; check out that Vice article where a young reporter goes to a political convention on mushrooms … or something. Thompson’s madness was the real deal, and Gilliam’s garish lighting and surreal sound design immerse us in his drug-fueled psychosis. The hellish visuals represent the worldview that informed Thompson’s writing: “Look around you. How can you pretend any of this is normal?” (MR) 117. After Office Hours (1935). “Who wants to listen to music? There could be a good murder any second!” That throwaway line of comic relief sums up the tonal clash here between Clark Gable and Constance Bennett’s enjoyable rat-a-tat romance and darker turns into crime and death. Jim Branch (Gable) is a New York editor getting stonewalled on a story about a banker, his bride and the senatorial candidate who may be breaking up their marriage. Sharon Norwood (Bennett) is a socialite who doesn’t need her arts-reporting gig but berates Branch for taking it from her after she gives a Beethoven performance bad marks. When Sharon turns out to be longtime pals with the candidate Jim is chasing, and a murder transpires, Jim seeks hard evidence and his softer side in wooing her. Typical of its time, the film considers journalism as a loop-de-loop of larks and vendettas — more interloping and agitation, less investigation and analysis. To quote a newsroom banner: IS IT INTERESTING? Not really, other than chronological proximity to Oscar glory for Gable, who won Best Actor for “It Happened One Night” days after this film’s release. It’s the sort of vibe for which “I Love Trouble” also aimed decades later with only fair-to-middling results. (NR) 116. The Electric Horseman (1979). Robert Redford is a retired rodeo rider who has resorted to hawking breakfast cereal. Jane Fonda is a TV reporter — on a softer beat than the character she plays in “The China Syndrome” — who tries to track him down after he goes AWOL from a corporate gig. (LH) 115. Ratatouille (2007). The secondary antagonist of “Ratatouille,” Pixar’s tale of a culinarily inclined rat named Remy, is Anton Ego (voiced by the late Peter O’Toole). Ego is a well-respected restaurant critic who knows his profession well enough to call out bad establishments and poor work. His negative marks indirectly cause the death of Remy’s icon (based on a real-life incident of French chef Bernard Loiseau apparently dying by suicide after the toll of bad reviews). Despite his curmudgeonly, critical view, Ego takes his job as a journalist seriously; a journalist, however, cannot control the world’s response to their work. This may seem like a contrarian take on one of Pixar’s most iconic films. But viewing the film from a journalist’s perspective makes it hard to be sympathetic to the rat sullying everyone’s food … even if Ego himself loves it in the end. (ED) 114. Top Five (2014). Chris Rock’s 2014 comedy (which he also wrote and directed) boasts some big laughs and believable vulnerability. But it also has aged faster than Indiana Jones Nazis unable to spot the cup of a carpenter and relies on truly retrograde eye-rolling plot turns about reporters’ motives. Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson) is a New York Times writer profiling actor-comedian Andre Allen (Rock), who has racked up movie millions as a wisecracking bear cop but is now creatively bankrupt. Moments after making out with Andre, Chelsea reveals she’s behind the film-critic alias assailing him and manipulates her profile’s direction by shoving him onstage for a standup set at the Comedy Cellar. Is Rock lamenting devalued standards of civility or ethics in arts commentary and coverage … or just suggesting his critics actually want to sleep with him? (NR) 113. Monolith (2024). A disgraced Australian journalist (Lily Sullivan) tries to salvage her flailing career as the host of “Beyond Believable,” a paranormal podcast attempting to explain the unexplainable. (“I thought you said you were a journalist,” one source tells the unnamed writer upon hearing the word “podcast.” The sting is real.) Following an anonymous tip about mysterious black bricks turning up at random points around the world, the podcast becomes a sensation. But sources tell her “something awful is coming.” Is this pursuit helping to stop whatever that is … or simply facilitating destruction? Subtle tweaks to the sound mix underscore the psychological tension of the unnamed journalist’s ethically dubious sculpting of the story, and Sullivan shines in a one-woman show where she’s supported by voice-only actors. “Monolith” is the platonic ideal of a headphones movie, with only a few modest adjustments from a plausible pivot into an audio-only thriller. Perhaps that would have been the better play for a story that’s at its finest when gazing into the gap between the skills of listening and language and less so when it employs underwhelming visual analogs to stronger science-fiction films of recent years. (NR) 112. I Cover the Waterfront (1933). Ah, the early pre-Code period of talkies when you could feature a nude swimmer, an unmarried couple spending the night together and bodies hidden inside … sharks? This odd mix of newspaper procedural and romance concerns a cynical waterfront reporter who stumbles onto a human-smuggling scheme while falling for the perp’s daughter. A spunky Claudette Colbert proves more fun than the reporter, a blustery Ben Lyon, but his insulting back and forth with his editor is refreshingly blunt. (LH) 111. Vengeance (2022). John Mayer hits the list, not as a journalist but as a wingman to New York writer/podcaster Ben Manalowitz (director, screenwriter and star B.J. Novak, of the U.S. “The Office”). Ben has a New Yorker gig and “the verified check mark” (simpler times of summer 2022) but unexpectedly finds himself deep in the heart of Texas. He travels there after the death of a woman he’d hooked up with a few times — an opioid overdose her family is convinced is more sinister. Naturally, he pitches a new “existential crime story” podcast called “Dead White Girl.” Confronting the inherently messy moral minefield of true-crime podcasting, that title is among few sharp punchlines here. Credit to Novak for smashing some unlikely genres together and in service of a treatise on how malleable, easily manipulated facts in a modern news cycle let lousy people off the hook. But the mystery too often recedes for fish-out-of-water gags that feel like a film version of those voters-in-the-heartland articles, and its left-field climax clangs pretty hard as Ben just finds out there’s no such thing as the real world, just a lie we have to rise above. (NR) 110. Viper Club (2018). Susan Sarandon leads a drama of slowly paralyzing hopelessness as Helen Sterling, a nurse and single mother navigating governmental red tape to secure the release of her freelance video-journalist son, Andrew, from ISIS captivity. The title references a close-knit group of journalistic colleagues that share tips with each other to stay safe in war zones, and the narrative is loosely based on that of slain journalist James Foley, who was the first American citizen killed by ISIS. Sarandon’s compelling performance persuasively illustrates how out of her element Helen feels when courting millionaires for donations of ransom money, and the script draws unexpectedly clean parallels between this luddite nurse who works out to Richard Simmons VHS tapes and the new-media journalist whom she raised. However, the pacing becomes stagnant, the film wallows in repetitive scenes of bureaucratic confrontation rather than character development, and the brief bit of journalistic initiative depicted here by a pair of professionals seems bizarrely low-rent for people who have made it their calling. (NR) 109. The Independent (2022). Remember well-cast, agreeably junky potboilers that pushed off in 1,000 theaters? Such films largely sink on streaming today, and so it goes with Peacock’s “The Independent,” released to the streaming service with zero fanfare. The perfect pick for a Dwayne Johnson proxy, John Cena plays a decathlete turned party-free presidential candidate whose rise threatens the front-running female Republican (Ann Dowd). Brian Cox and Jodie Turner-Smith are, respectively, a lionized political columnist and disgraced reporter at a freshly sold newspaper chasing a state-lottery scandal poised to doom one of the candidates. Even amid a fundamental misunderstanding of editorial chain of command and a visual aesthetic that looks like those movies The Daily Wire funds, “The Independent” boasts a compelling conceit and a cast that carries things … for about an hour, until one big secret is revealed with a simple Google search, many melodramatic subplots converge in clumsy ways, and the conclusion connotes more of a crusading victory for the reporters than seems possible. To go back to what you might find on streaming, consider it “Duplex of Cards.” (NR) 108. Balibo (2009). In 1975, Indonesia invaded East Timor (then Portuguese Timor), where occupying forces murdered five Australian reporters who were there to chronicle the political upheaval. Roger East, a fellow Australian, went in search of them and met a similar fate. All of these deaths were subject to massive public controversy — in large part due to cover-ups and the inaction of Australian leadership, which was concerned with angering the Indonesian government. “Balibo” is a graphic, intense depiction of journalists navigating a war zone where, although their credentials are meaningless, they continue to do the best they can. It brims with anger and frustration at the way they were disavowed by their home government and features great performances by Anthony LaPaglia as East and a young Oscar Isaac as future East Timor President José Ramos-Horta. (ED) 107. While the City Sleeps (1958). When a librarian is killed and a lipstick message left behind, the head of Kyne News Service calls it “just another murder.” The wire service is one of three spears in a New York media empire alongside a local paper and a TV station. “I suggest the life of a human being is not beneath your consideration,” the empire’s bedridden namesake snaps back … before excitedly shouting “I want every woman scared silly every time she puts (lipstick) on. Call this baby the Lipstick Killer! Smack across the front page!” A race to identify the killer becomes the impetus of a power struggle among respective editors after the old man croaks and the torch passes to his oafish son (Vincent Price), who loves watching the men who find him foolish still vie for the title of hand of the king. Austrian “Master of Darkness” Fritz Lang leaves behind the expressionistic expanse of earlier work and the pitilessness noir of “The Big Heat” for a film that, in its best moments, finds competitors revealing intimate and innermost fears and secrets a la “Glengarry Glen Ross.” Lang’s framing of people in places of power also emphasizes the dizzying speed with which they rise, fall or simply burrow deeper into the building’s basement bar. Too bad that pulsing, personal urgency leeches as the narrative loses itself in two separate love triangles and a murderer hunt that feels like “Zodiac” with a few chases and dime-store psychoanalysis tossed in. What starts as jolt-awake cynicism akin to the era’s “Ace in the Hole, A Face in the Crowd” and “Sweet Smell of Success” ends with a yawn. (NR) 106. Never Been Kissed (1999). When a Chicago newspaper decides to do a piece on the reality of high school life, its editor turns to a copy editor (played by Drew Barrymore) to go undercover. Barrymore’s charisma, far more than the hackneyed plot, makes this one watchable. (LH) 105. The Good Mother (2023). With an Oscar-winning actress, a murder plot and working-class ennui in a blue-collar town, “The Good Mother” is clearly courting those consumed by HBO’s acclaimed “Mare of Easttown.” (Just don’t confuse this with the 1988 Diane Keaton film.) Marissa Bennings (Hilary Swank) is a fictional journalist at the real-world Albany Times Union whose youngest son, estranged and drug-addicted, is found murdered. Marissa then applies her skills more toward interrogation than investigation of who did it, and trains them on herself as a manner in which to process her grief: “Maybe if I write it,” she says, “I’ll know.” Swank delivers assured and authentic notes of anxiety, the cinematography is appropriately atmospheric, and there is enough winking state-of-the-newsroom humor from Marissa’s editor (the eternally reliable Norm Lewis) about the pursuit of clickable content; “you barely know what the internet does,” he tells Marissa. “The Good Mother” also considers the hidden opportunity costs of chasing that goal of digital journalism, creating a connection between a crumbling infrastructure of information gathering and the well-being of a city’s people. Ultimately, though, the film must sell itself on whodunnitry — collapsing those complexities into the sort of resolution you’ve seen quite often and with an ambiguous final moment that suits neither the story nor Swank’s solid performance. (NR) 104. Line of Fire (aka Darklands) (2023). “My life is not your entertainment!” screams a small-town Australian cop faulted for failing to intervene in a school shooting. She’s bellowing at a past-her-prime blogger who has pushed too hard on both a lucrative interview with the cop and a profitably punitive perspective about her lack of action. That the exclamation comes as the cop ensnares the blogger in a plot of kidnapping and murder and illustrates the film’s interest in exploitative escalation over a story of everyday people faced with awful choices. As sensitive first-act observations shift to supreme outrageousness, it’s like watching “Changing Lanes” morph into “Law Abiding Citizen.” But, as Aussie pulp often does, “Line of Fire” just hits harder, with a commendable commitment to incredibly bleak bits about whether grief finds you falling apart … or pulling together something deeper and darker inside of you. There are also decent-enough hooks about glass ceilings and social expectations for professional women, as well as a dearth of diplomacy in a world of digital-first communication. If it errs anywhere, it’s in a lack of character complexity for the blogger — whose pure profit motives let the cop off the hook for all her dirty deeds by proxy. (NR) 103. Blessed Event (1932). Alvin Roberts (Lee Tracy) is a small-time ad salesman at a newspaper who works his way to the front pages when his gossip column catches fire. He reports on “blessed events,” aka pregnancies (wanted and unwanted), among the high-society set. His devotion to dirty laundry lands him in deep trouble, though, when he starts to dig into the messes of a beloved nightclub singer and, later, a notorious gangster. Roberts has to weather the storm armed with just his wits, words and sheer will to get the story. “Blessed Event” is first and foremost a comedy, so it doesn’t dig too deeply into the way that journalism without a moral compass can ruin the lives of smaller people caught in its wake. But it’s an effective comedy, thanks largely to Tracy’s performance, so the lack of commentary doesn’t really matter. (ED) 102. Newsies (1992). As history, it’s largely nonsense. And it tanked at the box office. But “Newsies” has grown in the popular consciousness since its 1992 release. You can credit that to the rising star power of Christian Bale or the unexpected success of the Broadway musical it inspired, but its earnestness coupled with above-average tunes (by Alan Menken, between penning the scores for “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin”) is what makes it likeable. The plot — very loosely based on a real-life incident — involves a strike by New York newsboys with the primary villain being Joseph Pulitzer. Yes, that Pulitzer. (LH) 101. Gentleman’s Agreement (1947). Although investigative reporter Gregory Peck’s bright idea of posing as a Jewish man at a new job to suffer bigotry for the first time in his life feels immensely naive and unethical today, Elia Kazan’s film does get at the heart of one of America’s ugliest truths: The quiet racism, often from self-described liberals, can burn the most. The kind of systemic racism Peck encounters among his fiancée’s upper-crust social circle enrages him past the limits of his story, a new experience for a veteran reporter. Kazan’s clunkiest social justice picture might also be his most relevant, as he shows definitively that the most privileged and ostensibly progressive people have a willful blind spot when it comes to the plights of others. (AC) 100. Woman of the Year (1942). In the first pairing of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy (a personal and cinematic relationship that eventually covered nine films), she’s a serious international journalist and he’s a sportswriter. Opposites attract, but when she wins the title award, he gets jealous. Apart from the chemistry of the leads and some fun bits, it’s dated stuff. It was followed shortly thereafter by the lesser-known (for good reason) “Keeper of the Flame,” in which Tracy again played a reporter. (LH) 99. Velvet Goldmine (1998). Although mostly remembered now as a faux-biopic loosely based on the life of David Bowie, Todd Haynes’ film is anchored by British journalist Arthur Stuart (Christian Bale) as he tries to figure out why glam-rock icon Brian Slade (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) disappeared from public life following a particularly ill-received stunt. Haynes’ non-linear storytelling and spectacular production belies the reporter’s true motivation behind his investigation: In searching for Slade, Arthur is really trying to find himself — or at least the person he used to be, which is a story that’s much harder to break. (AC) 98. The Front Page (1931). The original silver-screen adaptation of the iconic and arguably quintessential play about journalism, this pre-Code screwball comedy features constant innuendo, a smidge of violence and consistent energy from start to finish. It’s a stagy telling of the story (again, 1931), which features ace reporter Hildy Johnson (Pat O’Brien) tempted away from retirement by the machinations of his editor, Walter Burns (Adolphe Menjou), and one last juicy story — an escaped convict whom they hide from authorities in their office. In this version, the allure of the journalistic ideal (anything to get a story) doubles as a vehicle to show how men find meaning through their work, often at the expense of everyone else — in this case, Hildy’s sweet fiancée, Peggy (Mary Brian). 1931’s “The Front Page” feels like an artifact in light of its superior remakes, 1940’s “His Girl Friday” and 1974’s “The Front Page” (which you’ll find elsewhere on this list). Still, it’s not without its charms. (ED) 97. Down With Love (2003). Peyton Reed’s skillful ’60s-set battle-of-the-sexes comedy is the sort Rock and Doris would’ve made were they given more latitude for naughty banter. Renée Zellweger hawks her book about women’s liberation. Ewan McGregor’s magazine-writer lothario tries to take her down by posing as a wholesome astronaut named Zip. Yes, more fake identities and ethical violations that resolve in ways sure to roll HR executives’ eyes out of their sockets. But this 2003 film more than lives up to its lofty memory-lane goals as an alluringly goofy tizzy from start to finish — keying into the idea of an eventual, and welcome, obsolescence for once-popular, now retrospectively regressive, sexual politics. (NR) 96. True Crime (1999). The concept of a reporter possibly saving a death-row convict on the day of his execution is a bit farfetched. But if you suspend your disbelief, Clint Eastwood’s film is an exciting beat-the-clock thriller. Eastwood also stars as Steve Everett, a seasoned journalist infamous for turning every story into a wild goose chase. When he’s assigned a human-interest sidebar on convicted murderer Frank Beachum (Isaiah Washington), Everett ends up racing against time to prove Beachum’s innocence before the deadly stroke of midnight. “True Crime” emerges as an enjoyably idealistic vision of journalism’s life-changing potential. (SW) 95. It Happened Tomorrow (1944). “News is what happens!” a newspaper editor says early in this movie, and that’s about all “It Happened Tomorrow” has to say about the nature of journalism. Instead, this charming fantasy centers around an everyman reporter played by a cheery Dick Powell, who’s given a newspaper that contains tomorrow’s news and uses it to try and win riches and romance. René Clair’s film isn’t some dark parable about greed, however, and is all the better for it. It’s light as a feather and goes down smooth, with a deeply satisfying and clever third-act twist that makes this mostly forgotten United Artists hit worth seeking out. (MR) 94. The Underworld Story (1950). This underseen gem from blacklisted director Cy Endfield has a deeply cynical heart beating at its center that makes Billy Wilder’s “Ace in the Hole” (still a top-15 film on the list) look downright quaint by comparison. The movie follows disgraced reporter Mike Reese (Dan Duryea), who creates mass public hysteria in his sensationalistic coverage of a Black woman falsely accused of murder. Eventually, Reese gets entangled with organized crime and judicial committees, and he’s forced to choose between his own moral redemption or damnation. Some egregiously dated elements aside (including white actress Mary Anderson playing a Black character), this is an engrossing noir whose themes still resonate. (MR) 93. The Public Eye (1992). Joe Pesci is no pugnacious, profane pipsqueak in writer-director Howard Franklin’s drama about Leon “Bernzy” Bernstein, a freelance tabloid shutterbug in 1940s New York whose pictorial prowess on the mean streets sweeps him up in scandal. (Bernzy is based on Arthur “Weegee” Fellig, so nicknamed for seeming powers of premonition to get the best pictures.) Besides Bernzy impersonating a priest to sneak inside a meat wagon, there are no comic moments; even in Pesci’s infrequent bluster, there’s a sense that Bernzy more deeply communes with the dead than the living. Unsurprisingly, this was the lowest-grossing film of the era’s Pescimania, even if the actor was never better until 2019’s “The Irishman.” Instead of a cautionary abyss-staring precursor to “Nightcrawler” (which you can find at #15) “The Public Eye” blends evocative noir with melancholy character study; even the mobsters are sad. Ethics? Bernzy would wave off that notion while dropping the “H” for good measure. “You can’t turn it off,” he says later — specifically about the police-band radio in his car but existentially about the constantly revolving rot at the center of it all. (NR) 92. Scandal Sheet (1952). Tabloid journalism is hot fodder for morality plays. What are the limits of a person willing to bend legal boundaries and their own ethical conscience to get a story? To sell a paper or, these days, a click? “Scandal Sheet” asks that question and answers it with a simple, stunningly strong premise: Editor Mark Chapman (Broderick Crawford) and his ace reporter, Steve McCleary (John Derek), are devoted to hitting their goal of 750,000 copies sold by whatever means necessary. When a Jane Doe is found murdered after their company’s “Lonely Hearts” dance, “Miss Lonely Hearts” and the investigation into her death becomes their top story. Thing is … Chapman’s the murderer! Although the themes of greed and corruption in the newsroom are pretty boilerplate, this is still an engaging and well-paced newsroom thriller. (ED) 91. Foreign Correspondent (1940). Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller occupies a prescient time in history. Filmed six months after the Invasion of Poland and released three days after Germany began bombing Britain, it addresses American media’s uncertainty in reporting the “European crisis.” Sent to Europe by an editor frustrated by vague information emerging from the conflict, Joel McCrea’s crime reporter seeks answers regarding the inevitable war. He finds them at roughly the same time Hitchcock’s audience did, as the film ends with a bombing it predicted only by a few short months. Although one of Hitchcock’s weaker thrillers, “Foreign Correspondent” is also a unique historical artifact, timely piece of Allied propaganda and crucial depiction of dogged wartime journalism. (It lost the Oscar for Best Picture to another Hitchcock film, “Rebecca.”) Bonus: The line “The one thing everybody forgets is that I’m a reporter!” (AC) 90. Runaway Bride (1999). In this spry version of the familiar “journalist falls for his subject” trope, the reporter is Richard Gere, who writes sarcastically — and with factual errors — about the “runaway bride” (Julia Roberts) who has ditched three would-be grooms at the altar. After taking heat for his column, he decides to get the real story by visiting her hometown on the brink of her fourth marriage effort. (LH) 89. The Front Page (1974). Both this version and the 1931 one have been eclipsed by the gender-bent redo, “His Girl Friday.” However, this stagy adaptation of the most iconic, and cynical, play about journalism is, if anything, even more cynical than its predecessors. Headliners Jack Lemmon (as the fed-up reporter) and Walter Matthau (as his anything-for-a-story editor) are joined by a rich supporting cast, including Austin Pendleton, Susan Sarandon, David Wayne and Carol Burnett. (LH) 88. Long Shot (2019). When Seth Rogen ping-pongs off a parked sedan to survive a several-story fall, it’s OK to fear that “Long Shot” is just Rogen’s asinine “Neighbors” with an I Voted sticker. But even with an abundance of bodily fluid gags, “Long Shot” matures into a meaningful political romance that’s worthy of mention beside “The American President.” (The script is from Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah, respective co-writers of listmates “The Interview” and “The Post.”) Rogen is a liberal-minded reporter who resigns on principle after a conservative-media monolith buys his independent newspaper and then begins writing speeches for Charlotte Field (Charlize Theron), a POTUS-hopeful Secretary of State on whom Fred harbored a teenage crush. “Long Shot” is foremost an inversion of “Pretty Woman” (soundtrack and all), but Sterling and Hannah infuse journalistic notions of personal integrity and, yes, ideological struggle into Fred and Charlotte’s romance. Fred helps Charlotte understand even the ugliest truths are worth telling. Charlotte helps Fred express himself more meaningfully by shedding his perpetual sarcasm. And the film’s astuteness about Charlotte’s uphill battle for hearts and minds as a woman in politics is less a woke-fiction badge of honor than a believable barometer of real-world pressure. Most of all, “Long Shot” is often laugh-aloud funny, from quick-punch jabs at misogynist morning-show banter to a sublime showcase for Theron during which Charlotte negotiates an international incident while tweaking out of her gourd. (NR) 87. A Flash of Green (1984). This film is notable for deromanticizing the life of a reporter. In Palm City, Florida, Jimmy Wing (Ed Harris) doesn’t wear slick suits and scoop up stories at classy clubs. He sweats out cocktails at dingy bars and cranks out copy in a cramped, cluttered office. When the county commissioner (Richard Jordan) cuts him in on a real estate deal, Jimmy starts to see his world open up, but he loses sight of his hometown loyalty — especially to his best friend’s widow (Blair Brown), for whom he harbors love. Adapting the novel by John D. MacDonald, writer-director Victor Nuñez seamlessly balances several subplots and maintains slow-burn suspense in his exploration of Jimmy’s double life. Harris effectively conveys the added weight a reporter carries as a resident of a small town where everybody knows your name. “A Flash of Green” takes on shades of noir as shadowy thugs follow him wherever he goes — like manifestations of his guilty conscience. This film shines bright as a hidden gem. (SW) 86. The Big Clock (1948). A stylish film noir with Ray Milland as a harried crime magazine editor trying to track down a killer — only to discover he’s being framed for the crime. Charles Laughton is terrific as his obsessive, demanding publisher — can this be where Austin Powers got his finger-to-the-face tic — and Elsa Lanchester provides comic relief as an artist integral to the case. If some plot details seem familiar, it could be because Kevin Costner’s 1987 thriller “No Way Out” is based on the same source. (LH) 85. Call Northside 777 (1948). The title refers to a classified ad placed by the mother of an incarcerated man who had been found guilty of murder. A reporter (James Stewart) reluctantly checks out the story, leading him to reinvestigate the years-old case. His methods don’t always line up with the SPJ Code of Ethics, but his doggedness is rewarded in this beautifully shot procedural based on a true story. (LH) 84. Philomena (2013). Part odd-couple comedy, part mystery, “Philomena” shows how investigative journalism can forge unlikely bonds and bring justice to decades-old sins. Based on a true story, the film follows former BBC journalist Martin Sixsmith (co-writer/producer Steve Coogan) and an elderly Irish woman named Philomena Lee (Judi Dench) as they search for the son who was taken from her when she was living at a convent 50 years prior. While its humor doesn’t always land smoothly, “Philomena” steadily stirs up suspense. Of course, the resolution of the real-life story is just a Google search away. But like an effective piece of journalism, the film still holds you in its grip. Director Stephen Frears draws great performances out of the two leads. Dench makes Philomena’s desperation our own while Coogan sheds light on how human-interest stories can linger in journalists’ hearts and minds long after they write them. (SW) 83. State of Play (2009). Sometimes, paradoxically, the more weight given to the plot of a movie, the less consequential it seems. Such is the case with this political/journalism thriller, in which a determined old-school reporter (Russell Crowe) teams with a new-school blogger (Rachel McAdams) to sort out the reasons behind the death of a woman who had been having an affair with a congressman (Ben Affleck). Condensed from a six-hour BBC miniseries, it’s fine when it comes to the details — even though it’s a leap of faith that nobody would have a conflict-of-interest concern about a reporter investigating his former college pal. The print/blog battle is little more than a plot device, and McAdams largely takes a backseat to Crowe. In

Come and visit the famous set on your travels.	en	https://www.besidethesea….16.43-32x32.png	Beside The Sea Holidays	https://www.besidetheseaholidays.com/news/what-has-been-filmed-at-camber-sands/	With its stunning coastal scenery of seas, sand dunes, and expansive beaches, Camber Sands provides the ideal backdrop for all kinds of cinematic productions, from documentaries to beloved classics. This peaceful stretch of shoreline has hosted its fair share of famous films over the years. Some of the most notable movies to have filmed scenes at Camber Sands include: The Theory of Everything (2014) The acclaimed biographical drama detailing the life of famed physicist Stephen Hawking incorporated filming sites across the United Kingdom, such as the University of Cambridge and numerous London locales. One particularly charming scene shows Hawking (portrayed by Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne) enjoying a day at the seaside with his family. The beach used for this scene was the picturesque Camber Sands. Criminal (2016) The crime drama Criminal, starring big names like Kevin Costner, Gal Gadot, Gary Oldman and Ryan Reynolds, filmed its emotional final scene (spoiler warning) on the sunny coastline of Camber Sands. This poignant montage features breathtaking aerial views of the beach’s striking sandy shores. Though the movie itself received mixed reviews, the beautiful Camber Sands sequences stand out as a highlight. The scenic seaside setting provides a memorable backdrop despite the film’s uneven reception. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2001) The British comedy thriller starring Stellan Skarsgård as former hitman Felix, tasked with looking after a rich man’s reclusive grown son (Chris Penn). The film includes a scene filmed on location at Camber Sands. The Monuments Men (2014) Camber Sands has stood in for the beaches of France in several World War II films due to its visual similarities to the historically important shorelines of Normandy and Dunkirk. One such movie is The Monuments Men, featuring an all-star cast of John Goodman, George Clooney, Matt Damon and Bill Murray. They play a group tasked with locating and safeguarding culturally significant art and artifacts before the Nazis can steal or ruin them. In one scene, the Monuments Men arrive on the beach in “France,” which was actually filmed on location at Camber Sands. The sweeping sandy vistas allow the beach to convincingly portray the French coast during World War II events. After Life (2019) In the Netflix series, a newspaper writer grieving his wife’s passing adopts a brusque facade as a way to distance himself from those attempting to provide support. Struggling with the loss, he spends time alone on the beach, with all the seaside scenes shot on location at Camber Sands. Viewers familiar with the area’s iconic sandy dunes will recognise the landscape from the trailer. The expansive beaches of Camber Sands offer a poignant and dramatic coastal setting for the lead character as he grapples with devastating grief. Dunkirk (1958) The film Dunkirk used Camber Sands as a stand-in for the beaches of Dunkirk, France, though the more recent 2017 movie of the same name filmed on location at the real Dunkirk. The earlier Dunkirk production depicts Operation Dynamo, also known as the Dunkirk evacuation, which took place on the coast of northern France during World War II. Despite the 2017 version opting for authentic filming sites, Camber Sands convincingly portrayed the Dunkirk beaches for the classic film. Its sweeping seaside vistas capture the scenic conditions of the real Operation Dynamo location. The Loneliness of The Long Distance Runner (1962) Though nearly 60 years have passed since its release, the beaches of Camber Sands appear unchanged and make the perfect setting for this classic coming-of-age drama. Adapted from a short story of the same title, the film follows a talented young runner in rural England. It features a joyful scene with the main character frolicking on the sandy shores of Camber Sands.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) The easiest way to kick off a Wolverine binge is with Wolverine's movie origin story, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which traces his beginnings in Canada, in the 1800s, through his time with Major William Stryker's Team X - and then, naturally, the bonding of Wolverine's skeleton with the indestructible metal adamantium during the Weapon X program. Liev Schreiber also stars as Victor Creed -- aka Sabretooth (and Wolverine's half-brother). The story drops Wolverine off close to the doorstep of 2000's X-Men. Read IGN's review of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. 2. X-Men (2000) Next up? The first-ever live-action X-Men movie, which features Wolverine, and Anna Paquin's Rogue, being brought into Professor Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters - and becoming members of the X-Men. A reluctant Wolverine, crushing on Famke Janssen's Jean, helps the team topple Ian McKellen's Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. James Marsden and Halle Berry also star. 3. X2 (2003) The excellent sequel to X-Men, X2: X-Men United, brings back ghosts from Wolverine's past as Wiillian Stryker -- now played by Brian Cox -- returns to hijack Xavier's mutant-tracking computer Cerebro, in order to destroy every mutant, causing Xavier's students and Magento's team to combine their forces to stop him. The original cast is back, plus Alan Cumming, Aaron Stanford, and Kelly Hu. Read IGN's review of X2 here. 4. X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) Combining two big X-Men comic arcs -- "The Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Gifted" -- X-Men: The Last Stand features Jean losing control of her telepathic powers while Magneto desperately tries to shut down a new "mutant cure" that threatens everyone born with superpowers. Kelsey Grammer, Elliot Page, Vinnie Jones, and Ben Foster join the mutant mix here as Jackman's Wolverine battles his own feelings of love to stop Jean from causing mass destruction. Read IGN's review of X-Men: The Last Stand here. 5. The Wolverine (2013) After his time with X-Men, Wolverine found himself grieving in 2013's The Wolverine, from director James Mangold (who would later direct Logan). Starring alongside Rila Fukushima, Tao Okamoto, and Hiroyuki Sanada, Jackman's Wolverine travels to Japan where he agrees to transfer his healing powers to a tech CEO named Ichiro, giving up his curse of immortality. This is the final "stable(ish) timeline" adventure for Wolverine. Read IGN's review of The Wolverine here. 6. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) If you'd like, you can conclude this particular Wolverine saga with Days of Future Past, which features Wolverine's mind -- in a dystopia ravaged by mutant-hunting robots called Sentinels -- being transferred back into his early 1970s body in oder to team up with a past Professor X and friends to stop Mystique (younger, played by Jennifer Lawrence) from assassinating a military scientist. It helps to have seen X-Men: First Class before you watch this film -- as it operates as a sequel to First Class -- but it's not altogether necessary. Read IGN's review of X-Men: Days of Future Past here. Timeline 2 1. X-Men: First Class (2011) Okay, this second timeline largely involves a new cast playing characters both new and previously established. And Wolverine never really factors into the story in a big way except for Days of Future past. But, in X-Men: First Class, Jackman has a funny cameo as Wolverine in a scene where James McAvoy's Xavier and Michael Fassbender Magneto (Erik) are trying to recruit mutants for Xavier's school. Overall though, First Class, from Matthew Vaughn, is an awesome, and groovy '60s outing for the franchise. Read IGN's review of X-Men: First Class here. 2. X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Yup, so this is very much a sequel to First Class and heavily focuses on Wolverine. It helps if you've seen the X-Men movies with the previous cast, though it's not fully required. 3. X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Continuing with the new X-Men cast, Apocalypse takes us into the 1980s (following the previous films set in the '60s and '70s, respectively). At the end of Days of Future Past, '70s Wolverine was captured by Stryker (well, Mystique as Stryker, leading to the usual X-Men timeline confusion) and has now been brainwashed into being Weapon X. So, in this wholly new timeline, Jackman appears briefly in the film as a deranged monster stalking some of the new cast. Read IGN's review of X-Men: Apocalypse here. Floating Timeline 1. Logan (2017) Logan, which superbly closes out Wolverine's story, isn't connected to either of the two timelines. It can be, if you'd like it to be, but it the only big thing that tethers the movie to anything previous, besides Jackman, is that Patrick Stewart plays an elderly Professor X. Inspired by the inspiration from the "Old Man Logan" comics storyline by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, Logan operates a free-standing "What If?" for the series, telling the story of a "retired" Wolverine defending a young mutant named Laura -- aka X-23 -- from the cybernetically-enhanced villains known as the Reavers. Read IGN's review of Logan here. How to Watch the Wolverine/X-Men Movies By Release Date If you're looking to watch all the movies in theatrical release order, the correct list is below: X-Men (2000) X2 (2003) X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) X-Men: First Class (2011) The Wolverine (2013) X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) Deadpool (2016) X-Men: Apocalypse (2016) Logan (2017) Deadpool 2 (2018) Dark Phoenix (2019) The New Mutants (2020) Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Upcoming Wolverine Movies Loading Play After a marketing campaign involving raunchy popcorn buckets, butt controllers, and tales of pegging, Deadpool & Wolverine is finally in theaters. Director Shawn Levy has made it clear that the film is accessible to both Marvel newcomers and veterans, though a post-credits scene embraces the clawed hero's place in the MCU.

Disabled people are marginalised constantly by society, and the film and television industries show no exception. The discussion around non-disabled actors portraying disabled characters on screen as an issue of misrepresentation and questionable ethicality has brewed within the disabled acting community for some time, though publicly it has risen as a topic for debate in the past five years. In the UK, The Guardian has notably written multiple articles on the issue, including one by Frances Ryan (2015) donning the term ‘cripping up.’ Ryan compares able-bodied actors who take on disabled roles to those who undertake the universally panned practice of ‘blacking up’ to physically accommodate an imaginary race of African descent, often as a caricature: ‘While blacking up is now rightly greeted with outrage, ‘cripping up’ is still greeted with awards.’ (Ryan, 2015). Ryan’s article was written in direct response to the casting of Eddie Redmayne as Professor Stephen Hawking, and thus served as a key facet of the film screening for which I was responsible. Very similarly to Ryan, Barnes (1992) already noted when discussing My Left Foot (1989, Jim Sheridan) that the title character in this film too was played by non-disabled actor. ‘Unfortunately,’ he wrote, ‘this is common policy in the film world and partly due to the fact that most drama schools and colleges have not recruited disabled students for the acting profession’ (Barnes, 1992, p.8-9). This shows a disconnect between the way the film industry treats the disabled acting community, and a breakdown of a relationship between them, due to studios taking parts that could be suitable for disabled people away from them, marginalising them in the process. More recently, Ellis noted in agreement with Barnes (1992) that a key critique of the film and television industries comes from a lack of appropriate representation: ‘The media – and television in particular – is consistently criticised for its representation of disability. Critiques concentrate on underrepresentation, negative portrayals and inaccurate portrayals of normalisation’ (Ellis, 2015, p.82). In light of these comments, following the screening of the film, the first and most important question that the audience was asked was: ‘is this a role that could have been performed (at least in part) by a disabled actor?’ The response to this question at first was uniformly negative. Most participants rightly pointed to the narrative of the film being driven by the progression of Hawking’s amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Motor Neuron disease), thus the role fundamentally required an able-bodied actor to show the degeneration of Hawking’s physical state over decades. ALS ‘refers to a group of progressive diseases that cause dysfunction in the nerves that cause muscle movement’ (McIntosh, 2017) and as such often eventually causes the sufferer to lose the ability to walk, move their limbs, and limits their speech. It was suggested by one audience member that to offer a disabled actor a ‘half role’ where they only played the character in the ‘disabled years’ would be disrespectful and would devalue the agency of the actor. Notably, however, ‘we do not know how disabled people themselves feel about their marginalisation from some of the most powerful and influential mass media forms such as television’ (Ross, 1997, p.1). The audience was also asked the question of whether they viewed ‘cripping up’ as an issue of exclusion and misrepresentation. This proved to be a more divided issue. One audience member insisted that it is an actor’s job to take on another identity, regardless of their gender, impairment, or sexuality. He concluded that if we disallow actors from taking on disabled character roles, particularly when representing invisible disabilities such as deafness, we will fundamentally shift what it means to be an actor. However, it is clear that the relationship with the industry is equally tumultuous for other marginalised groups such as the trans community, who lose trans roles to cisgender actors. Though there are exceptions, such as Pose which ‘features the largest cast of transgender actors in television history’ (Pollard, 2019), these works are the exception to the rule. It is important to note the similarities to the disconnected relationship of the disabled acting community that are often coequal in scope of rejection. Much of the audience found ‘cripping up’ to be an issue that takes work away from an already marginalised group, citing popular films that chose to cast able bodied actors in disabled roles. Indeed, Barnes describes My Left Foot as ‘an excellent opportunity for a disabled actor’ in the same way that Ryan describes the role of Hawking. My research into activism by the disabled community led me to discover Adam Pearson, a UK based actor who has neurofibromatosis. He has tumours across 90% of his face. Pearson spoke out against ‘cripping up’ saying that it was a culture of exclusion that ‘is a systematic problem’ (Ryan, 2018). Adam was not offered an audition for the BBC’s upcoming television adaptation of The Elephant Man, with the role going to able-bodied actor Charlie Heaton, despite Pearson’s appropriate mainstream acting credentials, appearing in Under the Skin (2013, Johnathan Glazer) opposite Scarlett Johansson. As Goodley and Van Hove (2005, p.22) note, ‘disabled people are rarely afforded a leading role in such cultural pastimes [as film] … [and] disabling discourses prevail’. The audience members’ perceptions of the disabled community being marginalised were fuelled by Pearson’s public personal rejection, pointing to the fact that members of the disabled community who have ALS themselves, could have given a more authentic performance as Hawking, concurrently exploring a subtext of how the condition affects real people. This opinion was retorted by another audience member, who noted that ALS has many different expressions, so that no one person with the condition will be identical to another. To properly portray Hawking’s life, one would need an able-bodied actor to mimic his specific condition precisely. The vocal majority who agreed that ‘actors should be allowed to act’ suggested that limiting the repertoire of characters that an actor is allowed to portray damages the industry. One person pointed to a recent controversy surrounding the casting of the straight actor and comedian Jack Whitehall as ‘the first openly gay character in a Disney film’ (Staples, 2018). The petitioners suggested that only a homosexual man would truly be able to portray the character accurately. Thus, the audience member suggested that by theoretically disallowing Eddie Redmayne the role of Stephen Hawking, we would head down a slippery slope, that prevents actors from being allowed to act. It was further noted that the industry is founded on the public perception and recognition of famous faces. Recognisable, celebrity actors are what draw crowds and often play a part in the film’s commercial and critical success. The Theory of Everything made five times its initial budget at the box office, in addition to Redmayne winning the film’s sole academy award, for best actor. This led to the discussion that actors take on disabled roles as ‘Oscar bait.’ Frances Ryan opens her article discussing the issue; ‘If you do a film about the holocaust, you’re guaranteed an Oscar; or so goes the famous Kate Winslet joke in Extras. The same can be said for an actor doing a film about disability. Unless you’re a disabled actor, that is. Then you’re lucky to even get the part’ (Ryan, 2015; see also Kermode, 2019). It was agreed that there is a clear cause and effect with able-bodied actors who take disabled character parts and subsequent academy recognition. John Hurt in The Elephant Man (1980, David Lynch), Daniel Day Lewis in My Left Foot (1989, Jim Sheridan), and more recently Sally Hawkins in The Shape of Water (2017, Guillermo del Toro) are all examples. The correlation became clear; sentimental performances about disability by able-bodied actors win Oscars (Kermode, 2019). Indeed, already in 1992 Barnes noted that ‘of fourteen actors in the category of best actors / actresses won by films dealing with disability, only one winner, Marlee Martin in ‘Children of a Lesser God’ – a film about a deaf woman’s relationship with a non-disabled teacher in a school for deaf people -had experience of the impairment [sic]portrayed’ (Barnes, 1992, p.9). It is also relevant to add that many critics at the time considered Martin’s win a ‘pity vote,’ something that Kirstie Mitchell touched on. Mitchell notes that ‘this contradicts the need for authentic representation, therefore overlooking acting ability based on actors being Deaf or having a disability’ (Mitchell, 2018, p.26). The discussion led most participants to agree that a middle ground needs to be reached. This idea is embodied by disabled theatre actor Mat Fraser, who played ‘crippled Richard III.’ He said [of the theatre industry, though it remains relevant to film] ‘ideally, anybody should be able to play anybody, but only when there is a truly level playing field of opportunity’ (Pepper, 2019). What was clear from my research and the film seminar, is that it is far from a level playing field. The BBC pledged in 2014 that they would quadruple the number of disabled actors on screen by 2017 (Singh, 2014). While the likes of disabled actor Liz Carr in Silent Witness have emerged during this time, no official statistics have been released. In light of this, the pledge cannot be taken as anything more than hyperbolised self-promotion, for goodwill PR with the disabled community. Ultimately, the audience concurred that it is the industry that needs to change, not the actors. If the industry becomes more accommodating to marginalised communities, and gives them a fair opportunity to audition, the friction felt towards the way films and television programmes are currently cast, could be significantly eased. To conclude, my research allowed me to ascertain that there is a disability in the relationship between the film industry and the disabled community that they misrepresent and further marginalise, by casting non-disabled actors. This is due to an uneven playing field, facilitated by film studios that almost always prefer to cast an actor giving an imitation of disability, rather an actor with that disability. While some studios profess to attempt an increased diversity by casting more disabled actors (Singh, 2014), there is little proof that this has been actioned, and it can feel like a tick-box exercise. Throughout the seminar and my research, portrayals of people of marginalised sexuality, ethnicity, and gender all appear to suffer from this same disconnect. The relationship between these acting communities and the mainstream studio system is equally disengaged, leading to further marginalisation by a system that nearly always favours a straight white impersonation, as opposed to casting someone who has the same attribute as the character. Though there are arguments to be made in favour of casting non-disabled actors (chiefly in promotion and PR and to accurately present the physical deterioration of a person with a degenerative condition), it is clear that the relationship between the industry and the disabled acting community is fractured, and that the playing field must become more even, in order to establish true equality.

The house was bombed, and the Bradens were branded Communist conspirators and tried for sedition in 1954.	en	https://ket.org/wp-content/themes/portal-theme/\favicons\ket_favicon.ico	KET	https://ket.org/program/living-the-story-the-rest-of-the-story/anne-braden/	Note: This original one-on-one interview, part of the Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky Oral History Project, was produced by the Kentucky Oral History Commission and Historical Society. Anne McCarty Braden was born in 1924 in Louisville but grew up in Alabama. After college, she worked as a newspaper reporter in Birmingham, covering the courthouse. The incongruity between what she read in the Bible and the racist practices of her community troubled Braden, and her beliefs eventually compelled her to leave the Deep South. In 1947, she moved back to Kentucky to work for The Louisville Times. Although African-Americans in Louisville could vote and sit where they wished on buses, Braden found local race relations were otherwise very similar to what she had experienced farther south. But she also discovered people working through organizations to bring about desegregation and she joined efforts to open up hospitals and schools, leading her to a life of work against racism. Braden is best known for a 1954 incident meant to protest segregated housing. She and her husband, Carl, purchased a house in an all-white neighborhood of southwestern Louisville and, in a prearranged transaction, resold it to a black man named Andrew Wade. White neighbors threatened Wade and his family by burning a cross on their front yard, shooting out their windows, and ultimately bombing the house. Some individuals claimed the Bradens had the house bombed to stir up racial tensions in the community. Attempting to link integration with Communism, prosecutors arrested Carl and Anne Braden and them charged with sedition. Carl Braden served eight months in prison, but all charges were later dropped. The Wades were unable to return to their home, and no one was ever charged with the bombing. In the decades that followed, Braden continued to be an activist, founding Progress in Education and the Kentucky branch of the Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression to ease the stress of school desegregation in the 1970s. The University of Tennessee Press published her memoir, “The Wall Between,” in 1999. Anne Braden died in 2006. By: KET Staff

She graduated with a bachelor's degree in English from a woman's college in Virginia and took her first journalism posts in Alabama.(Fox 2006) She later moved back to Louisville to take a position with the Louisville Times where she met Carl Braden whom she married in 1948. Anne went on to work at the Louisville Courier-Journal and later joined the staff of the Southern Conference Educational Fund, a civil rights organization where she edited its newspaper, The Southern Patriot. I wanted to be a journalist – a newspaper reporter – ever since I was a child. Probably my mother put that idea in my bonnet to begin with. She was the first woman editor of the Kentucky Colonel, the University of Kentucky paper. She wanted to be a newspaper reporter, which was somewhat forward at that time, but she didn't. She got married instead. She never worked a day in her life on a paying job, but I think she would certainly tell you she was happy that way and I suppose she was. I think another part of her probably really wished she had had a career. (Pfisterer 1981) I was part of that generation of women who benefited by the war. They offered me a job at the [Louisville] Times. I had been up here and interviewed with Mark Etheridge when I was looking for other jobs. Talked to him about it. They offered me a job in the women's department at the Courier-Journal. The women's department was for the birds. I knew I didn't want to do that. So I turned that down. Then the Times opened up... Most people worked on Saturdays in those days. I stayed at the courthouse most of the time and had a pressroom there. I would get up early at five or six o'clock in the morning and start calling the rounds, see what had happened in the night. Go up there and then I'd stay all day and then I'd go back and call in stories for the afternoon paper. Then I'd go back to the office and write stories for the morning paper. I probably didn't leave until ten or eleven o'clock. (Braden 2001) Anne and Carl were key figures in the Civil Rights Movement. In 1954 they purchased a home in a White Louisville suburb for a Black colleague, Andrew Wade IV, and his family. Unknown assailants dynamited the house. No one was hurt in the blast. The police also made no arrests, but Anne and Carl as well as five other whites were charged with sedition for inciting unrest with their purchase of the house. Carl was convicted to 15 years prison time. This verdict was overturned in 1956 after Carl had served seven months. Anne's case never went to trial. In 1959 Anne's book about the case, The Wall Between, was a finalist for the National Book Award. Despite these charges and community disapproval Anne continued her work in social activism. Martin Luther King, Jr. called attention to her work in his 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail: I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still all too few in quantity, but they are big in quality. Some -such as Ralph McGill, Lillian Smith, Harry Golden, James McBride Dabbs, Ann Braden and Sarah Patton Boyle--have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets of the South. They have languished in filthy, roach infested jails, suffering the abuse and brutality of policemen who view them as "dirty nigger-lovers." Unlike so many of their moderate brothers and sisters, they have recognized the urgency of the moment and sensed the need for powerful "action" antidotes to combat the disease of segregation.(King 1963) Over the years, the couple faced charges of being Communists. Refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in 1958, Carl served another nine months in jail. In 1967 the Bradens were again charged with sedition for protesting against a strip mining operation in eastern Kentucky. That case led to a federal court overturning Kentucky's anti-sedition law as unconstitutional. The ominous, controversial woman [Anne Braden] wasn't fleshed out to me until 1965 when I met her at a meeting for open housing in a Louisville Highlands church. Smelling faintly of bourbon. This short, slight woman was the one I'd heard for years was the "kiss of death" in the liberal circles in which I circulated? Where were her horns? I soon found out. During twenty years of working with Anne on civil rights campaigns, peace efforts, and movements to empower the poor and powerless, Anne's horns have caught me time and time again. I learned that the danger which is associated with Anne is the truth she speaks and the discomfort that that causes each of us, for it challenges us to be better than we really want to be. Her dangerousness rests in her forcing us to measure what we say we believe against what we do to realize that belief. It often hurts, for the enemy too frequently is us. – Suzy Post (Tribute) Despite threats of violence and being vilified by some for her beliefs, Anne continued to fight social injustice. In 1990 she was awarded the first Medal of Liberty by the American Civil Liberties Union. After her death in 2006, the University of Louisville created the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research in her honor.

Housing issues during this time were critical in the fight for Civil Rights. Equal protection under the law, home values, and pressure of society are some of the reasons housing was an issue the Civil Rights struggle. Braden shines light on how the housing issue was struggle for the Wade family and violent acts made towards.

Once he sold his home and moved elsewhere that is when his fight came to a halt. The Braden family helped move forward with desegregation when they bought the home for the Wades. The Braden 's were a family who stood up for what they believed, no matter the pressures of society. What we have going on not only in this book everywhere in the south is an equality issue in the time of the 1950s. White people just seeing color, and automatically assuming trouble follows. Many people were set in their ways when it came towards black families moving into white neighborhoods. Housing prices would go up if a black family wanted to buy a home. Many times reality companies would do this to try and detour a black family from buying a home. They are only so many homes built for black families during this time. It was hard for a black family to find a good home. Also, African Americans were not equally protected with law protection, and were not taken as serious when crimes were committed to them. I feel as though the violent acts made towards Andrew Wade were not taken as seriously as they could have been. White people still had preconceived notion toward blacks, and this was a hard thing for people to change since they were set in their ways.

Circa 2014, his son Jack Lubka was in medical school in Havana, Cuba.[2] Family Lewis Lubka was married three times He had no children with Thelma Bun. With Nancy Cash, he had four children — sons Willie Lubka, Reuben Lubka and Henry Carlos Lubka , and daughter Lorraine Lubka. He had one child, a son Jack Lubka, with Rhonda Loberg.[3] Life of activism There was hardly a demonstration in Fargo, ND where you wouldn’t see Lewis Lubka. In fact, Mark Froemke of The Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union told People’s World, “If Lew wasn’t there, the first question you’d ask was ‘Where’s Lew’?” Long-time activist and Fargo resident Lewis Lubka died, January 2017 at the age of 90. Lew Lubka was born on July 14, 1926 in the Bronx and was a graduate of Stuyvesant High School in New York. Called “Red Lew” by his friends because of his lifelong membership in the Communist Party USA, Lew served as an Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. In civilian life, Lew obtained a bachelor’s degree in forestry at Syracuse University and earned his master’s degree in urban housing from Georgia Tech. Friend Dean Hulse described Lubka in an open letter as having an “unvarnished style” and “limitless curiosity.” “As our friendship developed, Lew taught me many things about living and about myself. For instance, he taught me to relish diversity, and likewise, rejoice in common bonds,” wrote Hulse. Lew was intimately involved with the struggle of the Wade family in Louisville, KY for fair housing. After Anne Braden and Carl Braden purchased a home for the African American family in white area of Louisville in 1954, the Wades faced targeted attacks and vandalism by white supremacists. Lew was one of the white activists who acted as an armed guard at the home. “I was in the back kitchen with a gun. And when we were shot at, we shot back. I was working days and helping guard the house at nights,” said Lubka in the documentary Anne Braden: Southern Patriot. Lubka was there when dynamite placed by white supremacists went off under the room of the Wades’ young daughter Rosemary’s room. No one was hurt in the attack. As a result of his civil rights activities and his membership in the Communist Party, state prosecutors determined that the bombing was a part of a communist plot to incite racial division. Lew and four others were indicted for “criminal syndicalism and sedition” against the governments of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Lew Lubka was eventually acquitted. Lubka was one of the founders of the North Dakota Peace Council, which he helped win a nuclear freeze referendum in North Dakota in 1982. Years later, the North Dakota Peace Council would honor him with an award for his distinguished service. Lewis Lubka dedicated his life to progressive causes including the anti-war movement, the struggle for equal rights during the civil rights movement, and environmental protection. He was also a member of the Red River Freethinkers, a secular group that fought against the display of the Ten Commandments in public space. He hosted a popular radio show called Peace Talk Radio on KNDS 96.3 FM in Fargo after his retirement from North Dakota State University where he taught urban and regional planning. Lois Chikwinya, a former student of Lubka and friend for over 40 years, said that Lubka was a friend to all students, particularly the international students. “He would travel to visit students across the world, he traveled to see me in South Africa. He was very much involved with anti-apartheid struggles,” said Chikwinya, “Lew never saw the color, he always saw the person. He helped all students achieve their goals.[4] Wade Defense Committee In 1954 , a week before the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Anne Braden and Carl Braden bought a house in an all-white neighborhood for a black couple, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, who were unable to purchase it due to racial restrictions in real estate. This act resulted in mob violence against the Wades and bombing of the house. Anne recounts: The Prosecuting Attorney said there were two theories. One was that the house was bombed by the neighbors to get rid of the Wades. The other was that this was all a communist plot to foment race hatred in order to overthrow the government of the state of Kentucky. Lew Lubka, a member of the Wade Defense Committee, recalls being pulled before the Grand Jury and asked, out of the blue, "Were you ever or are you now a member of the Communist Party?"[5] WEB DuBois Clubs of America In 2013, Lewis Lubka was listed a a friend on the DuBois Clubs Facebook page.[6] New American Movement In the late 1970's Lewis Lubka was a Fargo Moorhead , North Dakota, contact for the New American Movement.[7] Cuba Lubka visited Cuba in 1979 and 1980[8] Hands off Venezuela! In May 2005 Hands off Venezuela! circulated an internet petition: "from American trade unionists and workers to the appeal to the U.S. government to stay out of Venezuela." Lewis Lubka, retired college professor, member of the North Dakota Higher Education Association, and retired member of the NEA endorsed the petition.[9] Communist Party USA In September 2006 the Peoples Weekly Worldlisted several members, or supporters of the Communist Party USA.[10] Aaron Moss, Alan Donohue, Andre Brochu, Annie Fox, Barbara Samuelson, Barbara Collins, Barry Weinstein, Carol Sorflaten, C.T.

Lew Lubka, a North Dakota caucus participant described the scene in his precinct as exuberant for Obama with more participation than in the last caucus. According to Lubka, "The key feeling that I was able to sense from the conversations was the folks wanted change. Enough of the horror of the past two terms. New directions, new blood, new politics. Maybe even peace." Lubka wrote on the PA Editor's Blog February 6 2008;[12] I was at the Fargo, ND Democratic NPL caucus tonight. About 500 more voted in the caucus this year then the last caucus four years ago. Obama outdid Hilary by about 500 votes... The key feeling that I was able to sense from the conversations was the folks wanted CHANGE!! Enough of the horror of the past two terms. New directions, new blood, new politics. Maybe even PEACE!! Fasting against “Star Wars” In 2008, Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space promoted a June 22 “Global day of fasting to Stop Star Wars”. The global day of fasting to Stop Star Wars on June 22 is one important way for the public to become involved in this debate. All over the world the U.S. is dragging the "allies" into Star Wars and active resistance to the insanity of an arms race in space is growing.

She was one of three beautiful children born to the union of U.G. and Grace (Reed) Langford. Geraldine attended Lincoln School in Monroe. On May 28, 1963, in Toledo, Ohio Geri married the love of her life, Mr. Carl Braden and together the couple would raise two wonderful daughters: Lisa and Carla. In addition to caring for the needs of her family, Geraldine worked as a secretary at Tecumseh Products for more than thirty years. She retired in 2002. Geri loved music. Whether she was singing, playing the guitar, or dancing she had a smile on her face and was entertaining to those in her presence. Her public presentations usually involved country music at the infamous Braden’s Beach. Geri and Carl often spent time together playing the slot machines at two of their favorite destinations: Firekeepers or Hollywood Casino. Known as “Grammy” to her grandchildren, great grandsons and so many others, Geri enjoyed hanging out with the ladies, which meant, having “Mother Time” with her daughters, granddaughters, and best friends, but her true joy in life was spending time with her four great grandsons: DeShaun, Justice, Carl and Anthony. Geraldine Braden, age 75, of Petersburg passed away at her home on Thursday; December 1, 2022. Her passing was preceded by her parents: U.G. and Grace Langford; a sister: Sylvia Glandon; and brother: Clifford Turner. To cherish Geraldine’s memory, she leaves her loving husband of fifty-nine years: Carl Braden of Petersburg, Michigan; two daughters: Lisa (John) Jacobson of Petersburg and Carla (Mike) Dunn of Dundee; three grandchildren: Amanda Pena of Petersburg, Kyle Dunn of Dundee, and April (Ryan) Walsh of Temperance; four great grandsons: DeShaun Martin, Justice Chase, and Carl and Anthony Walsh. Private family services are planned for a later date. Geraldine’s care has been entrusted to Merkle Funeral Service, Dundee; 297 Tecumseh Street Dundee, Michigan 48131 (734) 529-3156. Cremation will take place through the on-site crematory, Covenant Cremation of Erie, Michigan. Online guests may leave words of inspiration and comfort or share a photo by visiting www.merklefs.com.

Anne and Carl Braden are probably best known for their efforts to bring fair housing to Louisville in the 1950s, with their purchase of a home in an all white neighborhood with the intent to transfer the title to Andrew Wade, an African American Korean War veteran. But the Bradens' commitment to racial, social, political, and economic equality went far beyond equal housing. Anne McCarty was a native Southerner. Born in Louisville in 1924, and raised in Alabama, she graduated from Randolph-Macon Women’s College in Virginia and embarked on a journalism career. She met Carl Braden in Louisville while she worked for the "Louisville Times" and they married in 1948. The couple was of like mind when it came to politics, especially with issues related to race. The Bradens campaigned for the Progressive Party in 1948, and worked with a number of organizations for social and economic equality during the 1950s. The Bradens edited the newsletter for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF) titled the "Southern Patriot." The SCEF was committed to racial desegregation through direct action. Anne Braden was friends with many of the Civil Rights Movement’s primary figures. She was named in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Dr. King wrote, "I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still too few in quantity, but they are big in quality. Some–such as Ralph McGill, Lillian Smith, Harry Golden, James McBride Dabbs, Ann Braden and Sarah Patton Boyle–have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets of the South." The Bradens' home in Louisville was visited by many Civil Rights activists, including Rosa Parks, Dr. King, and Angela Davis. It also served as a place of welcome to members of civil rights groups such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). After Carl died in 1975, Anne continued to be active in civil rights efforts. She taught civil rights history at the University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University, and, in 1990, received the Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty, awarded by the American Civil Liberties Union for lifetime achievements. Anne Braden died in 2006, but her achievements and legacy as an active advocate for racial equality live on. The marker reads: HOME OF ANNE & CARL BRADEN 4403 Virginia was longtime home of Anne and Carl Braden, early white allies of the southern civil rights movement. Segregationists marched here in 1954 after the couple helped an African American family desegregate a local suburb. Though they became controversial figures, the Bradens then fought to keep this area multiracial. CIVIL RIGHTS LANDMARK In the 1960s this home became a waystation for national reformers such as Rosa Parks, Angela Davis & Rev. M. L. King Jr. It was also a meeting place for young activists who led sit-ins. After Carl’s death in 1975, Anne continued organizing for racial justice, peace & workers’ rights until her death in 2006.

The Right Kind of White is, quite intentionally, the kind of book you can read in an evening or two (books about race! they often just sit on the shelf!). To get it to that point, though, I cut out roughly an entire book’s worth of stuff— historical context, sociological commentary, but also stories. This is one of those stories. It’s about a trip I made down to Louisville, Kentucky to walk in Anne Braden’s footsteps. If you don’t know about Anne Braden, you’re in for a treat. This overview, from the SNCC archives, is a great place to start, but after you check that out I highly recommend Catherine Fosl’s incredible biography, Subversive Southerner. Speaking of The Right Kind of White, I loved the two interviews I did last week, with in her newsletter and with in Romper. Sarah and Lyz are both absolutely brilliant. I also got to speak to full houses at Boswell Books in Milwaukee and Shakespeare and Company in Missoula. What a gift. Where will I pop up next? Pearl Street Books in LaCrosse, WI, of course! I’ll be there this coming Thursday, April 11th, at 6:30 PM. Come through, Driftless pals! By the way, if you haven’t bought the book yet, thanks in advance for giving it a go. I’d love if you’d be up for reading and/or hearing my story (and I’d love even more if, after you do so, you’d be up to share your own story with me). But wait, there’s more… Registration is now open for spring Barnraisers Project mini courses. These are standalone, two-hour-long, virtual classes on organizing for social justice in majority White communities. More information here, but suffice to say, these’ll be a lot of fun. Another week, another long preamble. Ready for some storytelling? Cool. Share In July of 2021— after a whole year of talking to White people in cities like Missoula about how to start affordable housing campaigns and suburbs like Columbia about how to integrate high school AP programs and towns like Clancy and Doland on how to start local community care networks so folks weren’t just home alone watching the reactionary yellers on TV— I took a pilgrimage. I was still chasing heroes, which in this era meant I was chasing Anne Braden, so I drove South towards Louisville. I made the drive during a summer where so many hopes were fading— not snuffed out, mind you, just left to slowly burn out. The vaccines were a miracle, but they did not end the pandemic. Donald Trump had been defeated just a few months previously. There had been dancing in the streets. Few said out loud “and now the work is done’ but that’s still how so many were acting. The bill hadn’t yet come due. I expected it to be an emotionally triumphant trip. I was now doing the work that Anne Braden had started, so I wanted to see her old stomping ground and, I don’t know… be moved by it? Feel a kinship with my organizing hero? I wasn’t sure, to be honest, but it was worth a shot. I left Milwaukee early in the morning and drove straight to Anne and Carl’s house at 4403 North Virginia Street, an address that was now legendary to me, having spent two years pouring over back issues of newsletters that Anne published from her living room. It was, well, a house. I mean, was I really expecting it to be anything but a house? It was a modest white shotgun house on a dead-end street in Louisville’s Black West End. A notary public lives there now, at least according to the sign out front. That wasn’t emotionally unsettling part. That came about an hour later, when I drove from the Braden House to Andrew and Charleen Wade’s old house a few miles down the highway. The Wade house is the most famous part of the Anne and Carl Braden story. The Wades were a Black family who attempted to integrate the then all-White suburb of Shively. The Bradens purchased the house (but just as a pass through, the Wade’s put up the money for the transaction), a move that resulted in Anne and Carl being tried for sedition and the Wade house being firebombed. Before coming to town, I read a statement from the Commonwealth of Kentucky declaring that today, in a testament to the brave legacy of the Bradens and Wades, the city of Shively was now the most diverse, integrated community in the state. I arrived in Shively around 5:00 PM, parking next to a worse-for-wear Marathon gas station with the words “Food Center” painted on the side in red letters. After a few minutes getting lost on unfamiliar streets, I was on Clyde Drive-- which in the Wade’s day was called Rone Court-- staring at a historical marker informing me in the past tense about a great wellspring of injustice that used to exist here, but that must have disappeared suddenly long ago. “Louisville suburbs were racially segregated when African Americans Andrew and Charlotte Wade moved to Rone Court on May 15, 1954, two days before the Supreme Court condemned school segregation. Neighbors burned a cross and shot out windows and the Wade’s endured harassment until June 27th when the house was dynamited.” It was past quitting time now, so there were a fair number of neighbors milling about on Clyde Court’s sparsely landscaped front yards. Mostly Black families, but with at least a few White people sprinkled in. Everybody was friendly. I received a fair number of polite nods, hellos, and “how’s it goin’s?”. Nobody asked me why I was there, but neither did anybody seem perturbed by my presence. It felt like a neighborly place, but it also felt like folks could use a little more money in their bank accounts at the end of the month. Most of the houses needed a fresh coat of paint or two. Every front yard looked like it’d be a little more welcoming if the city of Shively had built an actual sidewalk out front instead of a trail of dirt and patted-down grass. I didn’t see the Wade house, of course, because the Wade house hadn’t existed for sixty years. Maybe the forces of righteousness and justice won the war in Shively. It wasn’t the house bombers who were honored with a Commonwealth of Kentucky commemorative plaque. Black and White families really did live next to each other now. Squint hard enough and you could tell yourself that the I Have A Dream Speech had come alive. I left Shively and drove to a neighborhood in the gentrified East End. I was immediately greeted by a different group of White people: White people jogging with dogs, White people enjoying al fresco cocktails, White people browsing boutiques. I met my friend Jessi—a White Mississippian by birth, a White Louisvillian by marriage. I knew her from my Barnraisers trainings. She had spent years trying to understand her place as a White Southern woman in a town like Lousiville. She was kind enough to meet me on a hip street side patio, buy me a couple bourbon slushies, and let me pepper her with questions about her adopted city. I asked about Shively, and Jessi confirmed what I now suspected. There was, of course, context missing from those honey-tipped profiles of the Bradens and the Wade. The bombing and the sedition trial wasn’t enough to stop an eventual Federal desegregation push. When it became clear that wealthier White people of Shively couldn’t bomb the Blacks out anymore, instead they just abandoned ship. “So where’d the White money go?” I asked Jessi already knowing the answer. “It went as far East as possible. To places like Indian Hills.” I laughed at the name. Of course it was called Indian Hills. Indian Hills, an enclave that was over 95% White, where virtually nobody lived below the poverty line, which had successfully fought annexation by the City of Louisville for decades. So, what I saw in Shively that day wasn’t a deliberately integrated neighborhood. It may have been racially diverse, but not due to collective high-mindedness. Instead, its situational integration was just one more byproduct of a marketplace in which Whiteness plus money offered a perennial “get out of community free” card. We closed out our tab and I walked back to my hostel. The pieces were starting to click into place. Anne and Carl Braden won neither a battle nor a war in Shively, but that’s not what they were trying to do there. Ever since discovering Anne Braden, I lionized one small part of her racial justice work, the part where she got to stand apart from other White people, where she befriended famous Black people, where she got to be the exception to the rules of Whiteness. Her and Carl’s humble little house in the West End represented the platonic ideal of what I had tried and failed to create for myself over the past decade. I believed that If I mastered the language of anti-racism, learned to play Spades or how to dance to reggaeton, and never made an off-hand remark about a Black Woman’s hair or an Asian woman’s accent, then I, too, could be down like the Bradens. Perhaps my house as well could be visited by my generation’s Rosa Parks and Stokely Carmichael. That wasn’t actually where Anne Braden spent most of her time, though. She was, quite frequently, on the road— drumming up support for the civil rights movement in many of the poorest, Whitest corners of the South, the places that other White leftists often wrote off as being too backwards and reactionary. The Bradens didn’t win or lose a war in Shively because they weren’t trying to win or lose a war there. They hadn’t been organizing in Shively. They hadn’t built relationships with White people there. They were just doing a favor for the Wades—friends of friends whom they didn’t know but who needed any White couple’s name on a mortgage application. It wasn’t the Braden’s fault that they didn’t transform Shively, but it is telling which of the two homes— the Wade’s or the Braden’s— was firebombed. A White couple moving to a Black neighborhood doesn’t actually threaten Whiteness. That’s an acceptable anomaly. Should Whiteness be asked to accommodate change on its own turf, though, that’s when the bombs come out. White people’s biggest challenge was never in the West End. It was always in Shively and Indian Hills. The bigger problem was, it didn’t matter how hard Anne and Carl tried to reach out to other White people to shift that pattern. There was only so much they could do alone. The reinforcements never came. The (disproportionally Northern) student radicals who signed up in droves for the thrill and exceptionalism of Freedom Summers were asked directly–both by Anne and Carl and by Stokely Carmichael and other Black leaders– to stay in the South and to organize Whites as members of the Braden’s Southern Conference Education Foundation. All but a few packed up and went home. As Anne related wistfully years later, the radicals craved the credibility of the Black Freedom Struggle, but they “just didn’t love White people.” The Bradens didn’t fail, but there were more White communities to organize than there were Bradens to go around. I had spent, at this point, half a lifetime searching for White social justice heroes to emulate. The Bradens were just the last in a long line. But I was missing the point. Just as Black organizers didn’t want any White saviors in their communities, so too did the Bradens not want other White people who dreamt of singlehandedly saving Whiteness from itself. They just needed more organizers. They just needed more boots on the ground, our ground. They just needed more White people who loved justice but didn’t look down on others in service of their own social justice dreams. The next morning, I parked my car downtown and walked to the river. The Ohio River is separated from downtown Louisville by Interstate 64—a hulking, foreboding concrete barricade. I found a parking spot close to the Louisville Slugger Museum. The streets were full of families returning to their car— all big smiles and souvenir bats. I headed in the other direction, away from the buildings and towards the greenspace that the city of Louisville had constructed along the riverbank. The Ohio felt different from all the rivers I’d loved in my life. This wasn’t the Clark Fork in Missoula, a river I will always associate with benefit concerts and peace protests and a city full of graying ponytailed elders who loved me and made me feel at home. It wasn’t the Milwaukee River either, its verdant trail system the legacy of a past generation of benevolent socialist mayors. This was a river weighted with history— the great dividing line between South and North, between freedom and slavery, between the protagonists and antagonists of history, between the sin that needed to be addressed and the forces that presumably brought the reckoning. Oh goodness, what a great, seductive story… good and evil, clear dividing lines, the whole works. And all things considered, it would have been a pretty good morning to buy into the weight of that story—the foggy grayness of the skies made the wide river stretch even further into the horizon. The wind blew just enough to leave a choppy, foreboding wake. It was a meteorologically appropriate day for stark metaphors. It was never that simple, though. I knew that by now. The good White people didn’t live on one side of the river and the bad White people didn’t live on the other side of the river. Everybody on both sides played the macro-economic roles that had been asked of them. In the part of the country where cotton flourished but picking it was laborious and taxing, capitalism gave some human beings permission to own and terrorize other human beings. In the part of the country where the cotton didn’t grow, capitalism allowed for textile mills and banks and other institutions that would profit from the work of the enslaved, just at a righteousness-enabling distance. White people on both sides of the river lived their lives and had kids and grandkids and great-grandkids. Some of those kids and grandkids grew up poor, others grew up with great wealth— wealth that existed because their ancestors were declared to be human and other people’s ancestors were declared to be less than human. All of us, the descendants on both sides of the line, were bequeathed a legacy of shame and guilt, but one by one we all learned how to shove those feelings off to the side when they became too overwhelming. The thing is, rivers are never just lines in the sand. Their driving animus is to connect, for better and for worse. For years, the Ohio was the kind of connector that ensured that as many hands as possible had blood on them. It was a route to ship slaves, a route to ship cotton, a route to transport money from one set of White bank accounts to another set of White bank accounts. A few decades after the Emancipation Proclamation, the Ku Klux Klan was strongest on the Kentucky side of the river. The next century, it would be was strongest on the other side, in the Hoosier State. The canonically bad White people on the Kentucky side of the river may have dynamited a Black house in Shively, but just a few decades earlier, in the 1930s, a similar mob in Marion, Indiana lynched a pair of Black men in that Northern town’s square, an event that inspired Billie Holliday’s “Strange Fruit.” I knew all that long before I came down to the river that morning. But here’s what I either didn’t know or didn’t let myself believe for all those years: Whatever role this and all rivers have been given in the past, they will keep moving, they will keep flowing, they will keep connecting. They will continue to remind us that, whether we like it or not, we are bound together, regardless of the lines we draw. Those of us who are White are particularly stuck with one another, bound by a shared catastrophe, one that we did not invent but from which we gladly reap the benefits. The Bradens never asked us to be heroes. The Ohio River never asked us to stand on its banks and scoff at the other side. Nobody asked for me to figure out the way forward for Whiteness alone. “They just didn’t love White people,” Anne Braden once said, bemoaning the White student do-gooders who wouldn’t organize by her side. That’s an easily misunderstood statement. It’s not the same as saying “they didn’t love White supremacy” or “they didn’t love Whiteness.” It’s a statement of faith that, when you strip away the myths of Whiteness, there is a messed up but empathetic community of human beings capable of contributing to a better world. I stared at the Ohio River that morning. I was no longer trying to manufacture a magical, emotional moment, but the tears came anyway. Because that’s the thing about rivers. If we give in to their promise as connectors rather than dividers, if we stop dumping our poisons on their banks, rivers don’t just bind us together. Rivers cleanse. Rivers refresh. And then, when they’re finished doing so, rivers ask us to keep moving.

As field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), an organization committed to ending segregation through direct action, advocacy, and education, Anne and Carl Braden epitomized southern white radical thought and practice. In his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King singled out Anne Braden as one of the white southerners who understood and was committed to the civil rights movement. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924, Anne McCarty graduated from Randolph-Macon Women’s College in 1943. Four years later she went to work at the Louisville Times, where she met Carl Braden, a journalist and union organizer. Carl Braden, originally from Portland, a poor white section of Louisville, had grown up imbued with the socialist teachings of Eugene Debs. The couple married in 1948 and became public relations directors for the Congress of Industrial Organizations. In that year they also supported the newly organized Progressive Party. In 1954 the Bradens purchased a home in a white Louisville neighborhood and, in an effort to promote integration, sold it to a black family. After the home was bombed, Kentucky officials arrested the Bradens for plotting to incite insurrection. Anne Braden described the incident in her 1958 memoir, The Wall Between, which became a National Book Award finalist. Unable to secure jobs at southern newspapers, the couple became field organizers for SCEF, an organization accused of having Communist ties. In 1957 the Bradens became co-editors of the organization’s monthly newsletter, the Southern Patriot. As the newsletter grew in stature, it increased coverage of national civil rights activities, sometimes including material written by King. Most notably, in 1960 the Bradens published contrasting perspectives on the role of violence as an instrument of social change, written by King and Robert F. Williams. King admired Anne Braden’s work with the newspaper and praised her for writing “about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms” (King, “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” 89). As King’s visibility in the movement increased, he was often criticized for his association with the Bradens, due to their alleged Communist ties. In February 1959, when Carl Braden was sentenced to 12 months in prison for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, King’s colleagues from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) advised him to distance himself from the couple’s legal problems. However, in an October 1959 letter to Anne he expressed his hope that the couple would become permanently associated with SCLC. After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Carl Braden’s conviction in February 1961, Anne Braden mounted a clemency campaign for her husband and asked King to initiate a petition. King initially did not respond to Anne’s entreaties but, shortly before Braden entered prison on 1 May 1961, King attended a reception in Atlanta in Braden’s honor and consented to sign a petition supporting clemency. “I think Martin did compromise on occasions when he thought it was the best tactic, but I don’t think he was ever doing those things for personal aggrandizement,” Braden said. “In our case, there was absolutely nothing he was going to get out of signing our petition except a lot of trouble” (Fosl, 274). After more than two decades in the civil rights struggle, the Bradens became executive directors of SCEF in 1967. They retired in 1972 due to ideological conflicts within the organization. After Carl suffered a fatal heart attack in 1975, Anne, along with other former SCEF members, created the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice. Anne remained a vocal and consistent voice for civil rights reform until her death in 2006. Footnotes Braden to King, 14 October 1958, in Papers 4:510–511. Braden v.

He was 60 years old. Mr. Braden, who left a Roman Catholic seminary in Louisville at the age of 16 to become a newspaper reporter, had worked for newspapers there and in Cincinnati and aided union groups. He and his wife, the former Anne McCarty, were indicted for sedition under a Kentucky law in 1954 after they bought a house and sold it to a black couple. The indictments were dismissed in 1956, and Mr. Braden soon joined the Southern Conference Education Fund, which was working for blackwhite cooperation in civil rights. The Bradens were indicted again for sedition in 1967 after Pike County officials found “a truckload of seditious material.” They were accused of seeking to spread “the Communist theory… to overthrow the government of Pike County.” The case ended after the United States Supreme Court ruled in the Steve Nelson case that state sedition laws were unconstitutional.

For the Flobots song named after her, see Fight with Tools. For the author and elocutionist, see Anna Braden. Anne McCarty Braden (July 28, 1924 – March 6, 2006) was an American civil rights activist, journalist, and educator dedicated to the cause of racial equality. She and her husband bought a suburban house for an African American couple during Jim Crow. White neighbors burned crosses and bombed the house. During McCarthyism, Anne was charged with sedition. She wrote and organized for the southern civil rights movement before violations became national news. Anne was among nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists, organizing across racial divides in environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements. Background Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 28, 1924, to Gambrell N. McCarty & Anita D. (Crabbe) McCarty and raised in rigidly segregated Anniston, Alabama, Braden grew up in a white, middle-class family that accepted southern racial mores wholeheartedly. A devout Episcopalian, Braden was bothered by racial segregation, but never questioned it until her college years at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. As she grew older she experienced what has been framed as a "racial conversion narrative", "a conversion of almost religious intensity" "turning myself inside out and upside down". The experience that so affected her, in 1946, was witnessing a march of black veterans to the Birmingham courthouse, led by Louis Burnham of the Southern Negro Youth Congress, demanding the right to vote; with Braden covering the story as a reporter for the Birmingham News. After working on newspapers in Anniston and Birmingham, Alabama, Anne Braden returned to Kentucky as a young adult to write for The Louisville Times. She became a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement at a time when it was unpopular among southern whites. Either you find a way to oppose the evil, or the evil becomes part of you and you are a part of it, and it winds itself around your soul like the arms of an octopus... If I did not oppose it, I was... responsible for its sins. —Anne Braden While working at The Louisville Times, Anne met fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist. The couple married in 1948. Both were deeply involved in the civil rights cause and the subsequent social movements it prompted from the 1960s to the 1970s. Career Early activism In 1948, Anne and Carl Braden immersed themselves in Henry Wallace's run on the Progressive Party for the presidency. Soon after Wallace's defeat, they left mainstream journalism to apply their writing talents to the interracial left wing of the labor movement through the FE (Farm and Equipment Workers) Union, representing Louisville's International Harvester employees. Even as the postwar labor movement splintered and grew less militant, civil rights causes heated up. In 1950, Anne Braden spearheaded a hospital desegregation drive in Kentucky. She endured her first arrest in 1951 when she led a delegation of southern white women organized by the Civil Rights Congress to Mississippi to protest the execution of Willie McGee, an African American man convicted of assaulting a white woman, Willette Hawkins. Wade case In 1954, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, an African American couple who knew the Bradens through association, approached them with a proposal that would drastically alter all lives involved. Like many other Americans after World War II, the Wades wanted to buy a house in a suburban neighborhood. Because of Jim Crow housing practices, the Wades had been unsuccessful for months in their quest to purchase a home on their own. The Bradens, who never wavered in their support for African American civil rights, agreed to purchase the home for the Wades. On May 15, 1954, Wade and his wife spent their first night in their new home in the Louisville suburb of Shively, Kentucky. Upon discovering that black people had moved in, white neighbors burned a cross in front of the house, shot out windows, and condemned the Bradens for buying it on the Wades' behalf. The Wades moved in two days before the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark condemnation of public schools' racial segregation policy in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas. Six weeks later, amid constant community tensions, the Wades' new house was dynamited one evening while they were out. While Vernon Bown (an associate of the Wades and the Bradens) was indicted for the bombing, the actual bombers were never sought nor brought to trial. McCarthyism affected the ordeal. Instead of addressing the segregationists' violence, the investigators alleged that the Bradens and others helping the Wades were affiliated with the Communist Party, and made that the main subject of concern. White supremacists who were pro-segregation at the time charged that these alleged Communists had engineered the bombing to provide a cause célèbre and fund-raising opportunity, but this was never proven. Nonetheless, in October 1954, Anne and Carl Braden and five other whites were charged with sedition. After a sensationalized trial, Carl Braden—the perceived ringleader—was convicted of sedition and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. As Anne and the other defendants awaited a similar fate, Carl served eight months, but got out on $40,000 bond after a U.S. Supreme Court decision (Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) invalidated state sedition laws (Steven Nelson had been arrested under the Pennsylvania Sedition Law but the federal Smith Act superseded it). All charges were dropped against Braden, but the Wades moved to the traditionally black west Louisville. Southern Conference Educational Fund Blacklisted from local employment, the Bradens took jobs as field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), a small, New Orleans-based civil rights organization whose mission was to solicit white southern support for the beleaguered southern civil rights movement. In the years before southern civil rights violations made national news, the Bradens developed their own media, both through SCEF's monthly newspaper, The Southern Patriot, and through numerous pamphlets and press releases publicizing major civil rights campaigns. Her 1958 book The Wall Between helped place the Bradens among the civil rights movement's most dedicated white allies. Anne Braden and her husband Carl were two of the most hated people of the 1950s and 1960s by the powers-that-were in the American south. As whites of impeccable southern credentials, they gave lie to the myth that all southern whites opposed the civil rights movement—and that drove the racists wild.—David Nolan Carl Braden died suddenly of a heart attack on February 18, 1975. After Carl's death, Anne Braden remained among the nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists. She instigated the formation of a new regional multiracial organization, the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice (SOC), which initiated battles against environmental racism. She became an instrumental voice in the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition of the 1980s and in the two Jesse Jackson presidential campaigns, as well as organizing across racial divides in the new environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements that sprang up in that decade. In 1977, Braden became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP). WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization. The organization works to increase communication between women and connect the public with forms of women-based media. In 2005, she joined Louisville antiwar demonstrations in a wheelchair. She cofounded the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and continued involvement in local activism addressing modern concerns of police brutality, environmental racism, and LGBT rights. Personal life and death In 1948, she married fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist. The Bradens had three children: James, a Rhodes Scholar and a 1980 graduate of Harvard Law School where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review; Anita, born in 1953, who died of a pulmonary disorder at age 11, and Elizabeth, born in 1960, who has worked as a teacher in many countries around the world, serving as of 2006 in that capacity in rural Ethiopia. Anne Braden died on March 6, 2006, at Jewish Hospital in Louisville and was buried at Eminence Cemetery in Eminence, Kentucky. Only three days earlier, she had completed a proposal for a local activist summer camp. She was remembered by many in the civil rights movement, including Ira Grupper, Dorie Ladner, David Nolan, Efia Nwangaza, and Gwendolyn Patton. Awards Braden received the American Civil Liberties Union's first Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty in 1990 for her contributions to civil liberties. As she aged, her activism focused more on Louisville, where she remained a leader in anti-racist drives and taught social justice history classes at University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University. Legacy After her death, The Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research was established at the University of Louisville in November 2006 and was officially opened on April 4, 2007. The institute focuses on social justice globally, but concentrates on the southern United States and the Louisville area. The alternative hip hop group Flobots paid tribute with the song "Anne Braden" on their 2007 album Fight With Tools. The track includes several audio samples of Anne Braden, describing her life and thoughts on race in her own words. Works In 1958 Anne wrote The Wall Between, a memoir of their sedition case. One of the few books of its time to unpack the psychology of white southern racism from within, it was praised by human rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt, and became a runner-up for the National Book Award. From the 1980s into the 2000s, Braden wrote for Southern Exposure, Southern Changes, and the National Guardian and Fellowship. See also

Born Anne Gamrell McCarty in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924 into a financially comfortable Southern family; attended Stratford and Randolph-Macon colleges; married Carl Braden (1914–1975, a journalist), in 1948. Grew up in Mississippi and Alabama; returned to Louisville (1947); met and married Carl Braden (1948); both involved in labor struggles for the CIO and the Progressive Party; arrested in Mississippi (1951) for protesting execution of a black man; arrested and blacklisted (1954); worked for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF); opposed witch-hunting tactics of House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC, 1958); served prison term and helped launch National Committee to Abolish HUAC; made effective use of media to dramatize struggle for civil rights and racial justice; arrested for "sedition" in Kentucky (1967); retired from SCEF (1972); edited The Southern Patriot; continued political activism after husband's death (1975), creating the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice. Born into an affluent white Southern family in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924, Anne Gamrell McCarty was exposed to a number of influences that reinforced her inborn passion for fairness and justice. The Christian teachings she discovered through the Episcopal Church opened the door to the concept of a good society based on love and compassion, and a number of her professors at Stratford and Randolph-Macon colleges presented her with a historical and philosophical context useful for her intellectual growth. After graduation from college in 1947, she took a job as a reporter in Louisville, where she met and fell in love with Carl Braden, a fellow reporter ten years her senior. From a working-class background, Carl had been strongly influenced by the Socialist ideals of his father and the social gospel beliefs of his Roman Catholic mother. He had intended to prepare for the priesthood but, after a crisis of faith, became a newspaper reporter during the depression. Anne and Carl married in 1948, the same year they left reporting to work full-time for the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which was attempting to unionize workers in the South. Also in 1948, they worked for the Progressive Party, whose candidate Henry A. Wallace was attempting to move the United States away from Cold War policies. Despite the decisive defeat of the Progressives in the November 1948 elections, the Bradens remained committed to ending the segregationist system of Jim Crow in the Southern states. As one of a handful of liberal Southern women at the height of the Cold War and McCarthyism, Anne Braden was fearless in opposing injustice. She was jailed in Mississippi in 1951 for leading a delegation of women to the governor's office to protest the execution of Willie McGee, a black man charged with raping a white woman. In 1954, Anne and Carl were both arrested in Louisville, Kentucky, and charged with plotting to incite insurrection. The charge against them was highly questionable. Their real offense in the minds of the segregationist power elite was their purchase of a house in a white neighborhood in order to then sell it to a black family, that of Andrew Wade. To a society that regarded segregation as a way of life, such an action was deemed as profoundly treasonous. The local press blasted them, and they were blacklisted, unable to find employment. State prosecutors confiscated their library as "evidence" of subversive intent. The house in which Andrew Wade and his family lived was virtually destroyed by a bomb blast. Held on extraordinarily high bail of $40,000, Carl Braden was found guilty of "sedition"; he had served eight months of his fifteen-year sentence when a higher court overturned his conviction. Anne brought the events to national attention with her book about the Wade case, The Wall Between. Despite Carl's release, the Southern establishment remained adamantly resistant to change, and neither Anne nor her husband could get jobs at their chosen profession of reporting. The couple became field organizers and writers for an organization dedicated to the cause of racial integration, the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF). The work of this militant organization quickly came to the attention of Senator James Eastland of Mississippi, whose Senate Internal Security Subcommittee labelled SCEF an un-American Communist front. In 1958, the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) called both Bradens to testify at hearings in Atlanta. Carl Braden was adamant in defending his constitutional liberties as guaranteed by the First Amendment, telling the committee members: "My beliefs and my associations are none of the business of this committee." As a result of this and other confrontations, the Bradens became convinced that First Amendment liberties of freedom of belief and association, like the developing struggle for black rights, were integral to all other movements for social change. Fighting a regime of blacklisting and intellectual conformity, Anne Braden wrote and circulated a pamphlet, HUAC: Bulwark of Segregation, which played a significant role in bringing about the discrediting of this organization. Trained as reporters, the Bradens used the media expertly to alert the public on issues of injustice and endangered civil liberties. Even though both state and federal officials tried to smear them as "reds," they fought back spiritedly and often with wit and sarcasm. In 1967, they were chosen as executive directors of SCEF. Their interracial agenda continued to infuriate diehard enemies of change, and the same year they were arrested on sedition charges for setting up a community organizing project among poor whites in Appalachia. In 1972, the Bradens retired as SCEF directors but remained active in a training institute for community activists. Much of Anne Braden's energy now went into editing the SCEF newspaper, The Southern Patriot. Prior to Carl Braden's sudden death in 1975, conflicts within SCEF had led to their departure from the organization. Anne continued to crusade for racial harmony and social justice by working for the creation of effective interracial coalitions. Although they were members of a numerically tiny minority, the Southern white radicals, the Bradens refused to be intimidated by the forces of intolerance and privilege. After the heroic phase of the struggle for racial justice in the South had passed, she remained eloquent on behalf of her beliefs. Said Anne Braden in a 1978 interview with the Louisville Defender: "Our future and that of our children rides with the fate of the Black struggle for progress, and [we must] join in that struggle as if our very lives depend on it. For, in truth, they do." sources: Anne and Carl Braden Papers, Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison. Braden, Anne. The Wall Between. NY: Monthly Review Press, 1958. Fariello, Griffin.

More than 300 people came to her funeral Friday at St. George's Episcopal Church, many sharing stories of Braden, who died Monday at age 81. Some said she called them late at night to goad them to action. Others called her a mentor. "Anne belonged to all of you. ... She belonged to the whole community," the Rev. Louis Coleman said. "We have lost a giant in our midst." Braden was admitted to Jewish Hospital over the weekend and was battling penumonia and dehydration. In 1954, Braden and her husband, Carl, bought a home in southwestern Jefferson County for a black World War II veteran and his family. The black family was spurned when attempting to purchase the home. The Bradens used the family's money to purchase the house, then deeded it over to them, Catherine Fosl, Braden's biographer, said this week. A few weeks later, the house was bombed, but no one was injured. The Bradens later were charged with sedition, and Carl Braden was convicted and given a 15-year prison sentence, Fosl said. He served seven months before his conviction was overturned. Anne Braden was never tried on the state sedition charge. The Bradens worked with Martin Luther King Jr. and other notable civil-rights leaders. At her funeral, Bob Cunningham, a longtime activist with the Kentucky Alliance against Racist and Political Repression, said Braden never moved or took her number out of the phone book after people called making death threats. After her husband's death in 1975, Anne Braden supported causes including busing to desegregate Jefferson County's public schools. Busing opponents set her cars on fire twice. She spoke out on issues such as gay rights, pollution and police shootings of black residents. Braden was arrested numerous times. "She was a teacher, a mentor, a taskmaster, a family member, a dear friend and a comrade," activist Carla Wallace said. "She believed the world could be a better place." Her two children and several grandchildren attended the funeral, along with local civil-rights leaders and activists.

The 6 March 2006 issue of the Louisville Courier-Journal reports the death at 81 of Anne Braden, the veteran Southern white civil rights leader and organizer of the fight for black integration and equality, and an American radical of untameable commitment who — together with her husband, Carl — educated several generations of young activists. She was honored not long ago in the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame. Anne and Carl Braden — both lifelong socialists who were for many years close to the Communist Party — gained national attention in 1954, when they bought a house in an all-white Louisville suburb for Andrew Wade and his wife, an African-American couple. A cross was burned near the house, shots were fired into it, and, finally, the Wade home was bombed. Although it was common knowledge who did it, the grand jury called the Bradens to testify. The Bradens’ efforts also led to Carl Braden being convicted on state sedition charges before he later was cleared, but only after serving seven months in prison. The Bradens were active in a range of human rights and integration organizations where they met and became friends with the Wades. The decision to buy the house for the Wades was not difficult. Anne Braden later recalled it in her autobiography, The Wall Between (Monthly Review Press, 1958; reissued in 1999 by University of Tennessee Press, with a foreward by Julian Bond): The decision . . . was simple and natural as breathing, for any other answer [other than yes] would have been unthinkable. I went back to my chores . . . little knowing that Carl and I had just made one of the major decisions of our lives. At this time, Anne was at home raising the children and Carl was working as a copy editor for the Louisville Courier-Journal, then one of the South’s more liberal newspapers (something the Courier-Journal did not see fit to mention in its obituary of Anne). In The Wall Between, Anne also recalled her first appearance before the all-white Louisville grand jury convened to investigate the bombing of the house she and her husband had bought for the Wades: The day they met, September 15, was my son’s third birthday. I was the first one called. I’d only been there a few minutes when I realized it was not the bombing that was under investigation. It was me! They began by asking me what organizations I belonged to and what books I had in my house. I’d heard that questions like those were being asked by HUAC, but I didn’t expect them from the grand jury. I told them, “It’s none of your business what my affiliations or reading habits are. It doesn’t have a thing to do with who blew up this house.” The same thing happened when Carl went there. The next day the prosecutor made a statement that there were two theories about the bombing. One was that the neighbors blew it up to get the Wades out. The other was that it was a Communist plot to stir up trouble between the races and bring about the overthrow of the governments of Kentucky and the United States. By the beginning of October, those of us who had been openly supportive of the Wades were charged with sedition. . . . Braden’s life was consecrated by a prize-winning 2002 book by Catherine Fosi, Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South (New York: Palgrave MacMillan, 2002, with a foreward by Angela Davis). As Michael Honey wrote in a lengthy review-essay on that book that appeared in the June 2004 issue of Monthly Review, a magazine to which the Bradens were close and to which Anne sometimes contributed: Many of us who gained our organizing experience in the Southern movement came to know Anne Braden as part of an inseparable team, and one of this book’s strong points is that it helps us to understand Anne in relationship to her freedom-fighting husband Carl as well as in her own terms. A distinctive characteristic of the Bradens’ work was their ability to fight back against repression as a way to organize people and expose submerged issues. Repression, they often said, was just another opportunity to organize. They led dozens of campaigns to defend victims of racism, from Willie McGee (legally lynched by the state of Mississippi in 1952), to African-American and other movement organizers across the South in the 1960s, to Angela Davis in California, and to Ben Chavis and the Wilmington Ten in North Carolina in the early 1970s. Anti-repression organizing grew out of their own experiences and connections to the left. Anne had her first arrest in Mississippi as a pregnant white woman fighting phony rape charges against McGee, and she and Carl worked with William Patterson and the Civil Rights Congress against that and other cases of racism and repression during the early years of the red scare. The Bradens always linked demands for equal rights for African Americans to a broader struggle against the inherent class oppression of capitalism. Anne in particular stressed that whites had to give up their limited and questionable racial privileges before a real movement of the left could succeed. The Bradens came to their understanding through personal experience in the labor left within the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which immeasurably helped to open up Southern organizing in the 1930s and 1940s. Through leftist union and civil rights work, they became ecumenical supporters of socialism and part of a popular front to build a broad movement for social change. I had the privilege of meeting Anne Braden and hearing her speak at civil rights and radical youth conferences many times when I was a teenager in the 1960s, and her newspaper, The Southern Patriot, was must reading for movement activists then. The old radicals who came of age in the Great Depression, whose political engagement with the issues of the day never dimmed over the years, and who contributed so much to building social movements that changed America, are passing from the scene one by one. We shall not see the likes of Anne Braden again. Hers was a life forged by front-line engagement in bitter struggles for human justice and equality. We salute her memory and her courage, and on her passing we should recall the many lives she touched and changed for the better. THE WILLIE McGEE CASE I cannot recall Anne Braden and her involvement in the Willie McGee case without also thinking of the late Rep. Bella Abzug of New York, my dear friend, whose successful first campaign for Congress I managed as a young man, and who was McGee’s appeals lawyer — she went to Mississippi in 1950 when she was pregnant with her first child to defend him. As Bella later recalled it in her autobiography: I became involved in my first civil rights case [as chief counsel of appeals proceedings in 1950]. The man I defended — Willie McGee — was accused of raping a white woman, even though he and the woman had had a long-standing sexual relationship. That fact, of course, only made the crime all the more heinous to the Mississippi jury, and McGee was sentenced to death. Challenging the traditional practice of excluding blacks from the jury and arguing that Southern judges and juries reserved the death penalty for “rape” as a cruel and inhuman punishment for blacks only, I managed to get the Supreme Court to stay the execution twice. A drawing of Willie McGee by William Gropper, from Harry Raymond’s pamphlet “Save Willie McGee” (New Century Publishers, 1951) Yet the Supreme Court refused to rule on the case, and McGee’s execution date approached once again. In the final few days, Bella traveled to Jackson, Mississippi for a last minute clemency hearing. Local whites were incensed and had been threatening violence throughout the trials and appeals. When she arrived in town she found that no hotel would take her. Alone, and also pregnant, Bella spent the night awake in the locked bathroom stall of a bus station to avoid the Ku Klux Klan. The next day Bella Abzug argued before the state Governor for six hours, but despite extensive publicity and protests organized by the Civil Rights Congress, McGee was executed in 1951.

Anne and her husband were put on trial for sedition, blacklisted for jobs, threatened, and reviled by their fellow white southerners for what they did. But, as she told the Kentucky Historical Society, “We never even thought of saying no … We didn’t really think about it [because] our minds were on other things. The “other things” on Braden’s mind back then had to do with gaining equal access, regardless of race, to nearly every other aspect of life in the South: hospitals, schools, parks, public transportation, restaurants, hotels and more. “There was no organized movement to desegregate housing at that time,” said Braden, “but it would have been unthinkable to us to say no.” “We lived in a segregated world,” she explained, “but we were part of a community of black and white people who were opposing it.” Braden was an unlikely champion of racial equality. Born July 28, 1924, in Louisville, but raised in the even more racially divided Anniston, Alabama, she was a member of the southern elite. Economically, her family would have been considered middle-class (they didn’t have live-in servants), but because her mother was descended from what was known as the “first settlers,” Braden was raised to believe she was a member of a superior class of people. That idea started to bother her when she was still a girl. While attending a church youth group to discuss “the Negro problem – which is what everybody called it if they talked about it at all,” said Braden, “I made some mild comment that it seemed to me people ought to be treated equal no matter what color they were. And I can remember people looking a little startled and then somebody coming up to me later and saying, ‘You shouldn’t say things like that, people will think you’re a communist.’ ” Braden was also accused of betraying her race. Her first arrest—for protesting the execution of a Black man she believed to be wrongly convicted of rape—was in 1951. At the jail, she was threatened by a policeman. “He got absolutely furious,” said Braden. “It’s the whole traitor thing. He said, ‘And you’re in here, and you’re a southerner, and you’re on this thing!?’ And he turned around like he was going to hit me, but he didn’t because this other cop stopped him … All of a sudden that was a very revealing moment to me. All of my life police had been on my side. I didn’t think of it that way, but police didn’t bother you, you know, in the world where I grew up. All of a sudden I realized that I was on the other side. He had said, ‘You’re not a real southern woman.’ And I said, ‘No, I guess I’m not your kind of southern woman.’ ” All of Braden’s activism flowed from a single conviction: she wanted to live in a world “where people were people,” not members of a particular race or class who were treated better or worse because of it. Her long career as an activist, beginning at age twenty and spanned six decades. She’s well known for her efforts to end racial discrimination, less known for her many other battles. She fought for workers’ rights, helped organize labor unions, and was especially interested when Black and white workers joined forces to better conditions. She opposed war, fought for amnesty for those who refused to go to war, and worked for nuclear disarmament. She championed women’s rights and what she termed environmental justice; she considered environmental destruction a form of injustice in which the less fortunate suffer more than the privileged. According to Braden, her path was always clear: “An older, African American leader that I respected highly told me I had to make a choice: be a part of the world of the lynchers or join the Other America—of people from the very beginning of this country who opposed injustice, and especially opposed racism and slavery. [He told me] I could be a part of that—that it existed today and offered me a home to live in. “I felt like, well, that’s what I wanna be a part of. And so it was a very real concept to me all my life and still is. It is the present incarnation of the movement for social change in my time, but it’s also the connection with a past and a future. [It’s] like you’re part of a long chain of struggle that was here long before you were here, and it’s gonna be here long after you’re gone. And that gives life a meaning.” In addition to being a political activist, Braden was the wife of labor organizer Carl Braden and was a mother of three. She worked both as a professional journalist and as a manual laborer. She wrote a book about her sedition trial, The Wall Between, which was nominated for the National Book Award. A biography of Braden’s life, written by Catherine Fosl, was published in 2002. The hip hop group Flobots recorded the song “Anne Braden” in her honor in 2007.

This building has been used as an activist headquarters since Anne and Carl Braden purchased it in 1969, when they became directors of the New Orleans based civil rights group SCEF and moved its national headquarters here. SCEF stands for Southern Conference Educational Fund. The organization worked closely with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was a leading proponent of integration and civil rights in the South. The Braden’s were both journalists as well as radicals and staunch white allies to the civil rights movement, and they edited SCEF’s newsletter, The Southern Patriot for many years after they were unable to get jobs in Louisville (for reasons we tell you about when we get to the Braden home). This site is longtime home to the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and it remains a hub of local antiracist activism. The building became the Carl Braden Memorial Center after his death in 1975, and Anne worked here until her death in 2006.

Key Stage 3. GCSE. A-level. Civil Rights. Black History. Last updated: 30th August, 2020	en	helmeticon.png	Spartacus Educational	https://spartacus-educational.com/Anne_Braden.htm	I born in Kentucky, a descendant of the first white child born there - white as compared to Indian. My family saw it as a mark of distinction. The white southern mentality was literally a Nazi, fascist sort of thing. The attitudes of people I grew up with were not just that Blacks were inferior. To them, the South was the last haven of pure Anglo-Saxon culture, and the rest of the country was corrupted by all sorts of impure strains. New York was so bad because it was filled with a lower breed of humanity from southern Europe. It was agonizing to me when I had to face how wrong all this was. I thought of the people I grew up with as good people - and they were good people in so many ways. But their lives were distorted by the racism they absorbed from the cradle. It seemed tragic to me then and still does.... My college years exactly coincided with World War II. I was part of a generation affected by a spillover of thirties liberalism and a revulsion to the racist philosophy of Nazism during the war. I wasn't that unusual then. Many of my friends in college were not in favor of segregation. We rejected our parents' ideas about race, just as we rejected them about sex. But I don't think any of the people I went to college with ended up getting thrown in jail for sedition by the time they were thirty. And what makes the difference, what makes some get involved while others fade back into the scenery - which is what most people did - is accident. I think it's who you meet in certain times of your life, what your experiences are... I realized the people I had grown up with - my family, my friends, the people I loved and still love today - were just plain wrong on how they treated Blacks and bettered themselves by taking advantage of them. The hardest thing for any of us to come to grips with is that our own society is wrong because we project our ego onto our society. You really have to turn yourself inside out. But once you can do that, everything begins to fall into place. My personal values changed. Up to then, I'd been very ambitious, wanting to get ahead and be a big reporter. Now I decided I didn't want to work for an establishment paper and just be an observer of life.... Now I wanted to be part of this movement for change. I got head over heels involved, not only in the civil rights movement but in the peace movement.... Carl and I were both part of a statewide committee to repeal the Kentucky school segregation law. We were also involved in trying to break down discrimination in hospitals. In the spring of 1954, a Black friend, Andrew Wade, asked us if we would buy a house and transfer it to him. He and his wife had one child, two and a half years old, and another on the way. They were crowded into a small apartment and were anxious to move out of the city. Andrew had tried, but as soon as sellers found out he was Black, he wouldn't get the house. He decided the only way left was to have a white person buy it for him. Before he came to us, he had asked several others. For one reason or another, they refused. But we felt he had a right to a new house and never thought twice about doing it.... A Wade Defense Committee was formed that had strong support in the Black community, but not a lot of whites. We got the police to put up a guard, which we never trusted. Some people volunteered to stay all night to help the Wades to keep watch. By the end of June, just as things seemed to be quieting down, somebody blew up their house. Dynamite was set under their little girl's bedroom. Luckily, she had gone to spend the night with her grandmother. Mr. and Mrs. Wade happened to be talking to a friend on the other side of the house. It was just by the grace of God nobody was killed... They raided our house and took all of our files. We'd been in touch with many different groups, and we had folders on left-wing organizations. They took a lot of our books. Carl had grown up in a socialist home, and he had a Marxist and left-wing library. They took anything with a Russian name: books by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Turgenev from a Russian literature course I had in college. The commonwealth detective who went through them testified that he didn't really know too much about books. When he was in school, he said, they made him read, and it turned him against books, and he hadn't read much since... Carl was tried first. It was December... Every once in a while, they'd imply that we blew up the house, that Vernon Bown's radio was used to set off the dynamite. They introduced our books; tables of them were on trial. But the main testimony came from nine "expert" witnesses, gotten from the House Un-American Activities Committee. They were there to create atmosphere. None of them claimed to know Carl, but they testified that anybody who read those books was probably a Communist. They said that the purchase and resale of the Wade house fit in with the Communist program for the South, of taking land away from white people and giving it to Black people. They actually got on the witness stand and said that... Jim Dombrowski, the architect of the ongoing SCEF, was one of the greatest people who ever lived in the South. He was a founder, with Myles Horton and Don West, of Highlander Folk School. He's been involved in various struggles for social justice since the early 1930s. He saw the need for a group of Blacks and whites working together with a one-point program: End segregation in the South... In 1957 Carl and I went to work for SCEF. They didn't have much money, so we worked for practically nothing at first. Our main job was to reach white people and help them see that civil rights was their battle, too. We didn't have many resources, and we were fighting against a lot of fear. We traveled around, linking up with college professors, students, teachers, professional people, and ministers - many of whom lost their churches when they took a stand for equal rights. Anne Braden is one of the greatest examples we have of a White Southerner, steeped in the culture of segregation, breaking free from that culture and becoming a powerful voice for Black liberation. Born in 1924 and raised in a well-off family in Alabama, Anne questioned segregation as a child and again while in college, before finally making a clean break with White supremacy as a journalist in the mid-1940s. When the civil rights movement broke out a decade later, Anne was one of the few figures that White Southerners could look to as an example of how to liberate themselves from their own oppressive culture and beliefs, and to work for racial justice. Her life, however, has lessons for us all: for we all benefit from understanding how White people can break free from the grip of racism, stand in solidarity with people of all colors, and come together to build a better world. Like many Southerners, Anne Braden grew up in a deeply religious household. As a child, she was moved by Christian teachings of universal brotherhood and sisterhood and of loving one’s neighbor. In her church hung an image of Jesus, surrounded by all the children of the world, of all colors, learning his teachings together. The image stood out to the young Anne because in her experience, children of different colors did not learn together or go to church together. The world that she lived in didn’t seem to match up with Jesus’s teachings. Nor did segregation match up with Anne’s sense of fairness as a child. When Anne’s clothes were worn out, her family passed them down to a little Black girl who was bigger than Anne… so the clothes were not only worn out but were too tight. Growing up in a paternalistic culture, the fact that little Black kids were often given the discarded clothes of little White kids was viewed by the adults in Anne’s life as an act of compassion and generosity. But the young Anne viewed it as unfair. She imagined being the little Black girl, and she knew she wouldn’t be happy to have to wear those tight, worn-out clothes. However, when Anne asked questions about the poverty she saw amongst African Americans, the adults in her life told her that Black people were a “simpler race” with fewer needs, and were “happy with the way things were.” Anne, however, could never fully believe this. Anne would later insist that she was not an exceptional child for questioning segregation. Rather, this process of questioning was a normal part of growing up in the White South. However, in the decades before the civil rights movement forced the conversation, White Southerners rarely discussed segregation: it was simply an accepted fact of life. Those who did dare to question it found themselves marginalized and isolated, or even forced out of the region under threat of violence and economic retaliation. Anne didn’t become aware that people questioned segregation at all until she went to college… an opportunity many White Southerners, and especially White Southern women, did not have. In the White South, with its culture of silence around racial disparity, there were few opportunities for children to explore their concerns about fairness and justice. As they grew up, they usually acclimated into the culture of White supremacy they were raised in. Anne Braden often emphasized that the same would have happened to her had other events in her life not unfolded. When Anne was a teenager, she began to worry that she was unpopular and unattractive. She realized that boys were often attracted to girls who made them feel like they were the smart ones, and so she began to downplay her intelligence. Indeed, she quickly became popular after making this decision. When the time came to go to college, she still had boys on her mind, and so rejected the idea of going to a women’s college. However, World War II had begun while she was in high school. In 1940 Congress initiated a peacetime draft, and Anne realized that given the likelihood of the U.S. entering the war, that few men would be on campus. She changed her mind and made a decision that would alter the course of her life: she decided to go to a women’s college after all. In an environment where she didn’t feel the need to downplay her intelligence, Anne was able to find herself. Instead of rejecting her love of learning, she embraced it, later writing that “I don’t think I knew the excitement of an idea until I got to college.” She studied literature and journalism and became the editor in chief of the college newspaper, writing about her great passion for moral ideals and the tremendous struggles against fascism and for democracy happening overseas. Anne won many awards for her work and graduated from Stratford Women’s College as valedictorian. It was at Stratford that Anne discovered her first female mentors… women who served as role models and who helped Anne expand her vision of her own possibilities as a woman. Anne had grown up in a society where the roles of women were profoundly limited, and where life was even further restricted by notions of individualism that reduced the purpose of life to personal success. The female professors Anne was drawn to, however, emphasized that life was just as much about building stronger communities, and ultimately a better world. Personal happiness was found not through individualistic pursuits, but through contributing to the world and building meaningful connections with others. It was a vision that resonated with Anne, and reminded her of the Christian teachings she felt so compelled by. Anne had been five years old when the Great Depression began, and although her own father held a steady job and their family was economically secure, she had strong memories of endless streams of beggars getting off the trains going door-to-door begging. She was also aware, as a child, that African Americans rode these trains as well, but never dared to beg in White neighborhoods. As a teenager, she understood the rising threats of fascism overseas; of global destabilization; and finally of world war. The notion of a life devoted to something larger than ones own self spoke to Anne’s religious sensibilities, but it seemed especially important given the dire times Anne was living through. She was drawn to these professors, and they took her under their wings. One of them began inviting Anne to intellectual gatherings, where Anne was introduced to the professor’s sister, Harriet Fitzgerald. Harriet became the first person Anne Braden met who did not merely disagree with segregation, but took an active stance against it. Harriet had a female lover in New York, and may have had romantic feelings for Anne as well. She made a special effort to help Anne cultivate herself as an intellectual – introducing her to the works of influential thinkers of the era, including Freud and Marx – and sought to help Anne overcome the prejudices she was raised with. Although Anne did not share Harriet’s romantic desires for women, she was able to experience a deep emotional support from Harriet that made all of her previous experiences with men seem superficial. Anne described their connection as a kind of intense intellectual excitement she had not yet experienced, later expressing that “before I met Harriet, I never knew that kind of excitement was possible between two human beings. Later I told her that I didn’t think I would have ever been able to have the kind of relationship I had with Carl [her future husband] had it not been for her. Never after that have I felt any sexual interest in someone who did not excite me intellectually.” Anne had a major racial awakening when she went to visit Harriet in New York. Harriet – hoping to help Anne break free from her segregationist upbringing – arranged for her to have dinner with a Black woman from the South, under the pretense that they had similar intellectual interests. Anne later wrote: “I went to the meeting with some misgivings. Never in my life had I eaten with a Negro.” Anne later realized that the woman was well aware of how she would have felt as a White woman from the South, and was consciously trying to put Anne at ease. The Black woman was, essentially, working with Harriet to help Anne process, work through, and eventually break free from her White supremacist upbringing. The two women soon fell into deep conversation… and once they did, Anne ceased to think about the fact that she was White and her conversationalist was Black. They were simply two people having an excellent conversation. Suddenly, in the middle of the conversation, Anne became aware of the fact that she had forgotten about race entirely. A shockwave rippled through her: there was no actual “race problem!” It was an illusion. She later wrote that at this moment, “some heavy shackles seemed to fall from my feet.” The chains that prevented her from being able to embody the spiritual visions she was drawn to as a child – of loving one’s neighbor as oneself; as striving for universal sisterhood and brotherhood – were starting to break. By this time, Anne had transferred to Randolph-Macon Women’s College – a larger school, where she would be even more intellectually challenged. Here, she studied dance, became aware of the deep connections between her physical, mental, and spiritual health, and fell in love with the Russian authors Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. She began running with an “artsy” crowd, and amongst this crowd – many of whom consciously thought of themselves as outsiders – it was common to oppose segregation. Anne’s conversation in New York, combined with her participation in this crowd, led her, for the first time, to develop a conscious stance against segregation. A third and final element in the development of that consciousness during her college years was World War II: as Anne later wrote, “We were aware that in fighting Hitler, we were fighting a racist ideology, though I don’t think we used that word ‘racist.’ It didn’t escape people I knew that those ideas about racial superiority were akin to what we had here in the South.” By the time Anne graduated from college in 1945 – shortly before the end of the war – she had developed an anti-racist consciousness. However, she had not yet acted on that consciousness, nor did she know how too. She had yet to meet people who were engaged in actual struggle, and was not even aware that major struggles against racial oppression were sparking up all over the South. All of this would soon change. Following her graduation, Anne returned home to live with her parents and became a full time reporter examining local political issues. When fascism was finally defeated overseas, a sense of euphoria swept through her: democratic ideals had won the day! Authoritarianism had been defeated! However, as Black GI’s returned from the war, they made it clear that they had not fought and died overseas fighting Hitler’s racist authoritarianism, only to return home and be subjected to the racist authoritarianism of Jim Crow. They would not rest until democracy was extended to their people as well. Lynchings skyrocketed as Black men in uniform fought for the basic rights to democracy for Black Americans. As a reporter who had to chronicle these events, Anne’s euphoria about the success of democracy quickly faded. She sank into depression. Without her college community and her easy access to professors and mentors, Anne didn’t know where to turn. Her concerns could not easily – or even safely – be discussed. Like many White Southerners who were troubled by segregation, Anne felt alone. Not yet aware of the communities and organizations that embodied her newly found anti-racist values, she turned inwards. Without community, she threw herself into work and into writing… but also into isolation. It did not help that she was back home. As African Americans increasingly stood up for their rights after the war, many White Southerners reacted by taking increasingly stronger stances for keeping things the way they were. Anne’s father was one of those people. Both of her parents were deeply disturbed by Anne’s newfound anti-racist perspectives, and her father expressed that he regretted ever sending her to college. During one of their many arguments, Anne expressed that she supported a federal anti-lynching law. Her father exploded: “We ought to have a good lynching every once and a while to keep the N****** in his place!” Although he later regretted saying it, the outburst shook Anne to her core. She had always seen her father as a gentle and loving man, and she felt confident that he would never actually join a lynch mob. Still, here was an otherwise good-hearted man who had justified murder in his own heart and mind. It was one of the key moments in Anne’s life that caused her to think of White supremacy as something that distorted the souls of White people; that caused them to act against the spiritual and ethical values they believed in, and that made it impossible for them to live out truly ethical or spiritual lives. White supremacy, for Anne, became something that White people needed to free themselves from. Anne escaped the tensions of her home by taking a job in Birmingham in the summer of 1946, reporting on the events at the courthouse. Bull Connor – who would later go down in history for ordering fire-hoses and attack dogs to be turned on civil rights protestors in 1963 – was the police commissioner. Well known for his brutality, Connor’s police forces had recently murdered five Black veterans who had dared to stand up for their rights after returning from war. Anne witnessed Black veterans lined up at the courthouse, trying to register to vote. The same men came week after week, without success. She wanted to write an article about these voter registration attempts, but the newspaper didn’t consider it worth reporting on. As Anne covered the events at the courthouse, she was forced to realize that there was not one legal system, but two. There, she saw that if a Black man killed a White man, the outcome for the Black man – no matter what the circumstances, such as clear cases of self-defense – would be execution. On the other hand, she saw that if a White man killed a Black man, the judge would almost always rule that the killing had been justified. She saw that if a White man raped a Black woman, the case was simply dismissed: it was not even worth discussion. But if a Black man so much as looked at a White woman in an “improper” way, it was usually ruled as “assault with intent to rape.” Braden reported on one case in which a Black man was charged with “assault with intent to rape,” when he had looked at a White woman in an “insulting way” from across the street. It would be nearly a decade until the case of Emmett Till – murdered for whistling at a White woman in the summer of 1955 – brought such injustices before the eyes of the nation, and helped to ignite the civil rights movement. One day, a deputy at the courthouse began flirting with Anne. Hoping to impress her, he opened a cabinet drawer and pulled out the skull of a Black man who – he hinted, with a proud gleam in his eye – he had helped kill. He told her that the murder would, of course, never be solved. Anne later wrote: “I looked at the skull. It became larger before my eyes. It filled the room and the world. It became a symbol of the death that gripped the South.” The death – the murder – that her own, loving father supported. Anne was filled with horror and rushed out of the room. The violence against Black people in the Deep South was so casual it was usually not even deemed worthy of reporting or discussing, but now Anne found herself facing it fully. It was too much for her. After eight months of facing brutal truths in Birmingham, she took another newspaper job in the Upper South: in Louisville, Kentucky, where she had been born before moving to the Deep South as a baby. It would be in Louisville that she encountered civil rights activists for the first time, and met people who helped pull her into the movement. When Anne first arrived in Louisville, she felt a great sense of relief at the absence of brutality that she perceived. Unlike the constant, casual violence of the Deep South, there had been no outright racial violence in Louisville for a long time. The buses were not segregated. African Americans could vote, which meant that there were politicians who actually represented Black interests. Unlike in the Deep South, Black issues were not made invisible to the White community, but were actually reported on. There were even White people who openly opposed racial oppression. However, most spaces were still segregated, including parks, hotels, restaurants, theatres, hospitals, and schools. And as was true throughout the country, African Americans were restricted to living in impoverished neighborhoods, and suffered from rampant job discrimination. However, the mere fact that there was any degree of desegregation and any degree of Black political power was what initially jumped out at Anne. On her first day of work at the Louisville Times – March 31, 1947 – Anne was introduced to her new colleagues… including the man who would become her future husband, Carl Braden. Unlike Anne, who had been born into a very comfortable upper-middle-class life, Carl had been born into a struggling working-class family. His father had been a railroad worker who worked such long hours he almost never saw his family. A union man, he lost his job when Carl was eight years old for participating in a failed strike demanding better working conditions. For months afterwards, the family ate almost nothing but beans. One of Carl’s dominant childhood experiences was of hunger – in the deep, psychological sense of not knowing when you would be able to get food to relieve it. For Carl, hunger meant growing up early. He became deeply aware of injustice… of the fact that many people, like his family, worked hard and still had nothing, and yet were harshly judged as poor White trash by families exactly like Anne’s. Carl joined gangs and learned to fight when he was very young. Like so many others, he also learned to drink and smoke to alleviate the pain of having ones dignity ripped away. He would continue to drink, smoke, and fight until World War II, when he decided to swear off it all to better commit himself to his work as a journalist and labor organizer. Carl had been a very thoughtful child – a voracious reader who spent hours listening to the conversations of his large extended family, who often gathered around the kitchen table for discussion. Carl’s father was an agnostic socialist who had named his son after Karl Marx; whereas his mother and her extended family were all devout Catholics. Carl’s father was not anti-religious, but believed that matters of the afterlife and questions about God were beyond the human capacity to understand. He stayed quiet when conversations turned towards religion, but often mentioned at the end of religious conversations that Jesus’s teachings seemed right in alignment with socialism to him. The young Carl agreed with his father. They were all talking about loving thy neighbor, about the brotherhood and sisterhood of humankind that his future wife Anne had also been drawn to as a child. Carl’s heroes, growing up, were Christian saints on the one hand, and socialist leaders on the other. To him, they seemed to hold the same ideals. When Carl was not out roaming around with his gang getting into fights, he was at home absorbed in books. His parents had only gone to elementary school, and they pushed their children to do well in school so they could have a better life than them. Carl went to a Catholic school, and when he was thirteen the nuns encouraged him to put his intellectual abilities in the service of God and to begin studying to become a priest. Carl accepted this as an honor that would help him fulfill his young desire to live a life of social responsibility. However, by the time he was sixteen, he found himself rebelling against the church, and soon dropped out of school entirely. He had not turned against the church’s teachings, however, but was rather rebelling against the structures of authority within his church, school, family, and ultimately, society. Looking for work as a young, rebellious, working-class intellectual, Carl gravitated towards journalism, just as Anne would later do. He was given the task of reporting on the police department, where he witnessed incredible corruption and brutality. Eight years older than his future wife Anne, Carl was soon reporting on the Great Depression, including the intense labor struggles of local impoverished coal miners… all while still a teenager. The combination of his upbringing and the things he witnessed as a reporter led him to become a devoted labor organizer. When Anne was first introduced to Carl, he was covering labor issues for the newspaper, while she was covering education. However, from time to time, Anne would help Carl on his labor reporting. When she showed interest in the subject, he began giving her books to read on socialism and the history of labor organizing. She was soon attending union meetings with him. Anne had been raised to believe that people like her family were well off because they were smart, disciplined, and hard working, and that if people were poor it meant they had made bad decisions or were lazy. Anne had long doubted these class prejudices, and understanding the history of labor organizing – and getting to know the organizers themselves – destroyed them completely. She came to see the working class as another exploited group suffering from negative stereotypes, who, like African American freedom fighters, were dignified, intelligent, and fighting hard for the right to live a decent life. Carl helped Anne commit herself to ending class oppression, and she helped him commit himself to the battle against White supremacy.... Anne Braden was thrown into infamy, however, before she had a chance to embrace the work she would one day be most remembered for. In March of 1954, a Black World War II veteran named Andrew Wade approached the Bradens for help. Wade had been trying to purchase a home outside of the segregated Black communities of Louisville – he simply wanted a nicer, larger home for his growing family than was available in Black neighborhoods. Wade had a successful business, and came close to closing a deal on a few houses… but as soon as he met the real estate agents and they saw that he was Black, he was rejected. Wade asked some of his White friends if they would be willing to purchase the house under their name, and then transfer it to him. They refused. Wade then approached the Bradens. He did not know them personally, but they had developed a reputation for supporting Black causes by that time. They did not hesitate to support him.... The Braden’s were soon receiving a continuous stream of death threats: the phone rang every five or ten minutes; and because the Bradens were worried about the Wades, they felt compelled to pick up each and every call. Anne, however, noticed a pattern in the threatening voices, and realized that it was likely only half a dozen people calling on rotations, hoping that if each of them only called once an hour, their voice would not be recognized. This decreased her stress, but then a call came in saying that “something” would happen today. And then: in six hours. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. The calls kept coming. Fifteen minutes. Carl was unfazed, staying focused on his reading in the living room. He said that if they were really going to be attacked they wouldn’t be warned. Anne later reflected that Carl had long ago learned to shrug off physical threats. But it was her first time confronting them. She took the kids and left the house in case a bomb had been planted... Shortly after the bombing, Anne appeared in court to serve as a witness in the investigation that was taking place. When she was called to the stand, she expected to be questioned about the threats to her family. Did she know who made them? Did she have any insights into who might have been involved in the bombing? Anne, however, was not asked these questions. Instead, she was grilled on her political beliefs. Had she been a member of any “subversive” organizations? Did she associate with Communists? What kind of literature did she read? Anne found herself at the center of a highly publicized, anti-Communist witch-hunt during one of the most politically repressive periods in U.S. history: McCarthyism. During the period of McCarthyism, right-wing forces exploited the growing tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States that developed in the wake of the Second World War. They used those tensions to whip the American public into a state of fear: Communism, they said, would spread rapidly across the globe unless severe measures were taken. They warned that Communists had already infiltrated deep into American society, and were working with the Soviet Union to undermine the United States from the inside. After using this wildly unsubstantiated myth to whip the public into a state of fear, these forces then used that fear as an excuse to destroy causes they opposed – including civil rights and organized labor – under the pretense that such causes were Communistic. It was easy to manufacture the connection because Communists were, indeed, major supporters of racial justice and labor rights. Because Communists were highly involved in those causes, anyone devoted to those causes would have worked around and known Communists themselves. In the period of McCarthyism, anyone who was around Communists was framed as a Communist sympathizer, which was then equated with being an enemy of the state. This is what was now happening to Anne and Carl Braden.

This act would brand him a Communist and put him on trial for sedition.	en	https://www.gannett-cdn.…ages/favicon.png	Louisville Courier Journal	https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/history/2024/05/11/carl-braden-was-branded-a-louisville-communist/73412965007/	“Wade Vows He’ll Stay With His Blasted Home” was the front-page headline on June 28, 1954, in the Courier Journal along with a photo of the damaged home of Andrew Wade IV that would begin a landmark legal case involving Carl and Anne Braden. Several months earlier, the Bradens, who were white, assisted Wade and his family, who were Black, in purchasing a house in an all-white neighborhood on Rone Court near Shively. Integrating a neighborhood during the Jim Crow period of the mid-1900s was a significant inflammatory controversy. After moving into this house, the Wades were harassed by "rifle shots being fired at the house, rocks thrown through the living room window, and a wooden cross burned adjacent to it." Following the explosion of the Wade house June 27, 1954, a criminal search for the bomber would take an ironic twist that only the "Red Scare" Communist era of the early 1950s, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, could imagine: Carl Braden was charged with dynamiting the Wade house. On Oct. 1, 1954, Carl and his wife Anne were indicted by a grand jury for this terroristic act. An Oct. 9, 1954, Courier Journal article reported that they were charged with ‘advocating sedition’ and were Communist sympathizers. As detailed in the court proceedings, "sedition . . . means any person who advocates or suggests by word, act, or writing, any public disorder or resistance to, or the change or modification of, the government, Constitution, or laws of the United States or of this State by force or violence or by unlawful means." Carl Braden was tried first, separate from his wife, in early December 1954. Commonwealth’s Attorney A. Scott Hamilton said his office had evidence the explosion was part of a Communist-inspired plot to stir up racial trouble in Louisville. During a police search of the Braden’s home, 4403 Virginia Ave., material was seized that was labeled ‘seditious’: pamphlets, correspondence, and books that were Communist-oriented. The newspaper reported Braden’s defense lawyer, Robert Zollinger, implied that this material could have been "planted" by someone else. Hamilton refuted this allegation: “They claim we planted these papers … They're signed by Carl Braden ... and under his name is affixed 'secretary-treasurer' (of the Louisville Peace Committee).” Also supposedly found at the Braden house were "six copies of 'Foundations of Leninism,' and five copies of a Russian Constitution" which proved, per Hamilton, the Bradens were distributing Communist literature in Louisville, which was a "seditious" act. In an effort to further prove Carl Braden was guilty of sedition, a "surprise witness" was introduced at the end of the two-week trial. Alberta Ahearn testified that she was an F.B.I. informant and knew personally of Braden’s Communist activities. Per the Dec. 14, 1954, news account, “Braden took the stand in rebuttal to Mrs. Ahearn and denied all her charges against him, or that he is or ever has been a Communist.” In closing arguments, the prosecution summed up the case against Braden: “Communism is the greatest danger facing us today … (it) is not confined to China, or Indochina, or Korea. You have seen it demonstrated by evidence that communism is marching here … in Jefferson County, Kentucky. "You can take it from Braden's own statement, as related to you from the witness stand … and from other evidence, it has been demonstrated … that Carl Braden is a Communist and believes in the Communist way of life. He has given aid and support to communism.” It took the jury only 3 hours and 9 minutes to convict Carl Braden of ‘sedition’. The Dec. 14, 1954, Courier Journal had a front page photo of Braden wiping his face as he was led out of the courtroom to jail. Shortly after, the American Civil Liberties Union supported the appeal of the verdict, stating that it "stands ready to defend the right of peaceable dissent. It is our ultimate protection against totalitarian government." Braden’s conviction was dismissed a few months later. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the state didn’t have the right to prosecute Braden. The state law under which Braden was charged was ruled "unconstitutional." Commenting after his release, Braden stated: "We learned long ago that Red Baiting and anti-Communist witch hunts were nothing but smokescreens thrown up by people who control things to cloud the real issues of racial equality, higher wages and other desirable but unprofitable things we've worked for.” Carl, who worked for several newspapers including the Courier Journal, continued with his civil rights activism, along with his wife Anne. He died Feb. 18, 1975, of a heart attack. He was 60 years old. At his memorial service, he was eulogized by Black social justice advocate Angela Davis. She was "deeply indebted" to Braden for trying to help free her during her trial in 1972 on charges of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy after a judge was killed and three of his abductors fatally shot in a kidnap attempt in San Jose, California. Davis, who had been involved in freeing what she calls prisoners being detained because of "political oppression," said "As long as there are people unjustly in prisons and being oppressed across the country, our debt to Carl Braden has not been paid”.

Born Anne Gamrell McCarty in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924 into a financially comfortable Southern family; attended Stratford and Randolph-Macon colleges; married Carl Braden (1914–1975, a journalist), in 1948. Grew up in Mississippi and Alabama; returned to Louisville (1947); met and married Carl Braden (1948); both involved in labor struggles for the CIO and the Progressive Party; arrested in Mississippi (1951) for protesting execution of a black man; arrested and blacklisted (1954); worked for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF); opposed witch-hunting tactics of House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC, 1958); served prison term and helped launch National Committee to Abolish HUAC; made effective use of media to dramatize struggle for civil rights and racial justice; arrested for "sedition" in Kentucky (1967); retired from SCEF (1972); edited The Southern Patriot; continued political activism after husband's death (1975), creating the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice. Born into an affluent white Southern family in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1924, Anne Gamrell McCarty was exposed to a number of influences that reinforced her inborn passion for fairness and justice. The Christian teachings she discovered through the Episcopal Church opened the door to the concept of a good society based on love and compassion, and a number of her professors at Stratford and Randolph-Macon colleges presented her with a historical and philosophical context useful for her intellectual growth. After graduation from college in 1947, she took a job as a reporter in Louisville, where she met and fell in love with Carl Braden, a fellow reporter ten years her senior. From a working-class background, Carl had been strongly influenced by the Socialist ideals of his father and the social gospel beliefs of his Roman Catholic mother. He had intended to prepare for the priesthood but, after a crisis of faith, became a newspaper reporter during the depression. Anne and Carl married in 1948, the same year they left reporting to work full-time for the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which was attempting to unionize workers in the South. Also in 1948, they worked for the Progressive Party, whose candidate Henry A. Wallace was attempting to move the United States away from Cold War policies. Despite the decisive defeat of the Progressives in the November 1948 elections, the Bradens remained committed to ending the segregationist system of Jim Crow in the Southern states. As one of a handful of liberal Southern women at the height of the Cold War and McCarthyism, Anne Braden was fearless in opposing injustice. She was jailed in Mississippi in 1951 for leading a delegation of women to the governor's office to protest the execution of Willie McGee, a black man charged with raping a white woman. In 1954, Anne and Carl were both arrested in Louisville, Kentucky, and charged with plotting to incite insurrection. The charge against them was highly questionable. Their real offense in the minds of the segregationist power elite was their purchase of a house in a white neighborhood in order to then sell it to a black family, that of Andrew Wade. To a society that regarded segregation as a way of life, such an action was deemed as profoundly treasonous. The local press blasted them, and they were blacklisted, unable to find employment. State prosecutors confiscated their library as "evidence" of subversive intent. The house in which Andrew Wade and his family lived was virtually destroyed by a bomb blast. Held on extraordinarily high bail of $40,000, Carl Braden was found guilty of "sedition"; he had served eight months of his fifteen-year sentence when a higher court overturned his conviction. Anne brought the events to national attention with her book about the Wade case, The Wall Between. Despite Carl's release, the Southern establishment remained adamantly resistant to change, and neither Anne nor her husband could get jobs at their chosen profession of reporting. The couple became field organizers and writers for an organization dedicated to the cause of racial integration, the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF). The work of this militant organization quickly came to the attention of Senator James Eastland of Mississippi, whose Senate Internal Security Subcommittee labelled SCEF an un-American Communist front. In 1958, the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) called both Bradens to testify at hearings in Atlanta. Carl Braden was adamant in defending his constitutional liberties as guaranteed by the First Amendment, telling the committee members: "My beliefs and my associations are none of the business of this committee." As a result of this and other confrontations, the Bradens became convinced that First Amendment liberties of freedom of belief and association, like the developing struggle for black rights, were integral to all other movements for social change. Fighting a regime of blacklisting and intellectual conformity, Anne Braden wrote and circulated a pamphlet, HUAC: Bulwark of Segregation, which played a significant role in bringing about the discrediting of this organization. Trained as reporters, the Bradens used the media expertly to alert the public on issues of injustice and endangered civil liberties. Even though both state and federal officials tried to smear them as "reds," they fought back spiritedly and often with wit and sarcasm. In 1967, they were chosen as executive directors of SCEF. Their interracial agenda continued to infuriate diehard enemies of change, and the same year they were arrested on sedition charges for setting up a community organizing project among poor whites in Appalachia. In 1972, the Bradens retired as SCEF directors but remained active in a training institute for community activists. Much of Anne Braden's energy now went into editing the SCEF newspaper, The Southern Patriot. Prior to Carl Braden's sudden death in 1975, conflicts within SCEF had led to their departure from the organization. Anne continued to crusade for racial harmony and social justice by working for the creation of effective interracial coalitions. Although they were members of a numerically tiny minority, the Southern white radicals, the Bradens refused to be intimidated by the forces of intolerance and privilege. After the heroic phase of the struggle for racial justice in the South had passed, she remained eloquent on behalf of her beliefs. Said Anne Braden in a 1978 interview with the Louisville Defender: "Our future and that of our children rides with the fate of the Black struggle for progress, and [we must] join in that struggle as if our very lives depend on it. For, in truth, they do." sources: Anne and Carl Braden Papers, Wisconsin Historical Society, Madison. Braden, Anne. The Wall Between. NY: Monthly Review Press, 1958. Fariello, Griffin.

This building has been used as an activist headquarters since Anne and Carl Braden purchased it in 1969, when they became directors of the New Orleans based civil rights group SCEF and moved its national headquarters here. SCEF stands for Southern Conference Educational Fund. The organization worked closely with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was a leading proponent of integration and civil rights in the South. The Braden’s were both journalists as well as radicals and staunch white allies to the civil rights movement, and they edited SCEF’s newsletter, The Southern Patriot for many years after they were unable to get jobs in Louisville (for reasons we tell you about when we get to the Braden home). This site is longtime home to the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, and it remains a hub of local antiracist activism. The building became the Carl Braden Memorial Center after his death in 1975, and Anne worked here until her death in 2006.

Commonwealth - 277 S.W.2d 7	en	//justatic.com/v/20240826101229/branding/favicon.ico	Justia Law	https://law.justia.com/cases/kentucky/court-of-appeals/1955/277-s-w-2d-7-1.html	277 S.W.2d 7 (1955) Carl BRADEN, Petitioner, v. COMMONWEALTH of Kentucky et al., Respondents. Court of Appeals of Kentucky. March 25, 1955. 8 Robert W. Zollinger, Louis Lusky, Louisville, for appellant. J. D. Buckman, Jr., Atty. Gen., Earl Powell, Asst. Atty. Gen., A. Scott Hamilton, Com. Atty., Frank E. Haddad, Jr., Louisville, for respondents Hennessy and Yoder. SIMS, Justice. This is an original action in this court. Petitioner, Carl Braden, was convicted in the Criminal Branch of the Jefferson Circuit Court of the crime of sedition and his punishment fixed at imprisonment for 15 years and a fine of $5,000. KRS 432.040. Braden made a motion in the trial court to be permitted to prosecute his appeal in forma pauperis under KRS 453.190 and to be furnished a transcript of the proceedings without advance payment therefor as is provided in KRS 28.440(1). This motion was supported by his affidavit that he is a poor person and without funds to pay for the transcript of the testimony and of the record. The trial judge overruled this motion, whereupon Braden moved this court for a rule against the clerk of the trial court, John M. Hennessy, and against the official reporter, James M. Yoder, to show cause why the clerk should not furnish the transcript of the record and the reporter a transcript of the evidence to him without advance payment of the cost thereof. This motion was supported by the affidavit of Braden's attorney as well as the transcript of testimony heard by the trial judge on Braden's motion to be permitted to prosecute his appeal as a poor person. After hearing oral arguments and considering the affidavits, also the record 9 before the trial judge on Braden's motion, we made the rule absolute and ordered the clerk and the reporter to furnish the transcripts without advance payment of the cost of same. We thought it imperative to immediately pass upon the questions raised by the rule and not take the time to set forth reasons for our decision. As the clerk and the reporter have requested us to render an opinion giving the reasons for our ruling, we now gladly do so. It is provided in KRS 28.440(1) that the salary of court reporters in counties with a population of 150,000 or more shall be fixed by the fiscal court and they shall receive no other compensation from the county or the state. If it appears that a defendant desiring to appeal is unable to pay for his transcript, the court may direct the reporter to make the transcript for such defendant and the fee may be recovered from the defendant at any future time. In KRS 453.190 it is provided that the court may allow a poor person residing in this state to prosecute or defend any action therein without paying costs. We have held these statutes not to be mandatory and that the trial judge has a discretion in their application, saying we will not upset his ruling except where it is apparent he has abused that discretion. Shipman v. Com., 264 Ky. 15, 94 S.W.2d 32. In that case it was shown accused had a car worth $25 and owned real estate to the extent of $1,000 and only ten witnesses had testified in the case, which was a simple one of receiving stolen property of sufficient value to make the offense a felony. It would have been an easy matter to prepare a bill of evidence in narrative form. In these circumstances we there held the court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to furnish accused a transcript of the evidence at public expense. We call attention to the fact that a poor person is deprived of no constitutional right when a court refuses to grant him an appeal in forma pauperis. One has no natural or constitutional right to an appeal as that is a matter purely within the province of the Legislature. Smith v. Bastin, 192 Ky. 164, 232 S.W. 415. The record before us shows Braden has some assets, but they are meager when compared to the cost of the transcript necessary for his appeal. The trial lasted 13 days and the cost of the transcript will be some $4,000. Braden's property consists of a 1948 model automobile which he purchased in 1953 for $300, and household effects valued at $400. We doubt if these two items were reduced to cash they would net over $200. He and his wife own a home valued at $7,600 upon which there are mortgages aggregating $6,600 in round figures, leaving an equity of $1,000 for both of them. Therefore, a fair value to be placed on Braden's assets is $700. Against this he owes in round figures $2,300, of which some $600 represents expenses incurred in his trial and in caring for his two young children. Braden and wife executed a mortgage on their home to Mrs. Braden's parents for $5,000 to secure a debt of $2,254.41 he owed them, and it attempted to secure "any such further loans and/or advancements up to a limit of $5000, making a total maximum indebtedness of $7254.41". While this mortgage is of doubtful value due to the existing encumbrances on the home, it does not help the position now taken by Braden. Be that as it may, this record shows petitioner is a poor person and cannot pay for the transcript to be used on his appeal. It is not necessary that an accused must be completely destitute before a court should grant him a pauper appeal. 3 Am.Jur.Supl. "Appeal and Error", § 516, p. 28. Adkins v. E. I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co., 335 U.S. 331, 69 S. Ct. 85, 93 L. Ed. 43, 11 A.L.R.2d 599. See annotations 6 A.L.R. 1281. It is shown Braden paid fees aggregating $2,200 to four lawyers for defending him. In an ordinary case we would uphold the trial judge in refusing to order a transcript without advance payment for a person who is able to pay his attorneys such sums. But this is no ordinary case. It is one extremely difficult to defend. It required long and tedious preparation and 10 the trial lasted 13 days. No lawyer could defend this case as he would an ordinary crime involving comparatively simple facts. If it were that character of case and Braden had expended all of his resources, or a material part thereof, without conserving sufficient funds to bear the expense of the appeal in the event of conviction, we would unhesitatingly say the trial judge did not abuse his discretion in failing to let accused appeal in forma pauperis. We can well understand why Braden needed four lawyers in defending a case of this character. Likewise, we feel that their fees of $1,000, $800, $300 and $100 are not even adequate or commensurate in this character of case. It is argued that as Braden made a $10,000 appearance bond he could have raised the $4,000 cash to pay for the transcript. The bond was made by his wife depositing $2,000 in cash and his mother and one Walter E. Barnett pledging their property as security for the remaining $8,000. Evidently, sight is lost of the fact that the signing of an appearance bond costs the obligor nothing if the accused does not abscond, while this transcript would require an expenditure of $4,000 in cold cash. While we have sympathy for the reporter who must bear the expense under KRS 28.440(1) of furnishing the transcript of testimony to Braden, yet he accepted the appointment as official reporter of the Criminal Branch of the Jefferson Circuit Court at a fixed salary realizing the law placed this potential burden on him. If his salary is not adequate to meet such contingencies as this, then it is the responsibility of the fiscal court of Jefferson County to fix his salary at a figure which will do so. Certainly, it is not the duty of the trial court, nor of this one, to protect a reporter from a hardship he reasonably might have anticipated when he accepted his position. We are in full accord with the foreign authorities relied upon by the Commonwealth which say that before an accused may appeal as a pauper he must show he is without money or property and without relatives or friends who will assist him, and that his attorney cannot make up the bill of evidence from memory. Riley v. State, 49 Ariz. 123, 65 P.2d 32; Cowley v. State, 65 Okl.Cr. 479, 88 P.2d 914; Gomez v. Superior Court, 134 Cal. App. 19, 24 P.2d 856; Gaines v. State, 61 Okl.Cr. 8, 65 P.2d 422. See annotations in 100 A.L.R. 321; 11 A.L.R.2d 607. Of course, no one would contend that Braden's attorneys could make up this bill of evidence from memory. Braden's wife is in no position to help him financially as she stands indicted for the same offense of which he was convicted. Nor are her parents able to assist him, as they must hold themselves in readiness to help their daughter if they can when she comes to trial. We cannot see that State v. Horton, 223 Iowa 132, 272 N.W. 527, has any application, since Braden has not attempted to dispose of any of his property to relatives so that he could qualify as a pauper as did Horton, although he did make an attempt to secure a debt owed his parents-in-law by a mortgage on a home in which he had only a small equity. Argument is advanced that through friends Braden could raise the money to pay for his appeal; also, that he could raise it through certain organizations. The answer to that is, it is not shown Braden has such altruistic friends, nor that he has any control over these organizations or their funds or power to compel them to pay for the transcript. See State v. Tonn, 190 Iowa 381, 180 N.W. 164. Moreover, local friends or organizations might well shrink from coming to Braden's help for fear of having aspersions cast upon their patriotism. A charge such as this well may be calculated to produce hysteria among the friends of accused and cause them to forsake him. It is a depressing thought but the fact is that at this time in our country's history it may be worth a man's reputation to attempt to assist a friend to raise funds for defense against a charge of sedition, especially where a question of communism is involved. In passing it may be well to repeat here what was expressed in Shipman v. 11 Com., 264 Ky. 15, 94 S.W.2d 32, the trial judge should see that the accused may not expend his funds in the employment of counsel to defend him and then expect the court to permit him to appeal in forma pauperis. It is within the discretion of the trial judge to see that neither the accused nor the state is imposed upon in granting or refusing the benefit intended to be afforded by the statutes permitting a poor person to appeal without cost. While no fixed rule can be laid down as when to and when not to grant such appeals, and each case must be determined upon its own peculiar facts and circumstances, we will not upset the discretion of the trial judge except in those cases where it is apparent it has been abused in the legal sense. In view of the peculiar facts and unusual circumstances presented in this prosecution, we think it was an abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge to refuse to order the clerk and the official reporter to furnish Braden a transcript of the record and a transcript of the evidence without requiring him to pay for them in advance. An order has heretofore been entered which conforms with this opinion.

Early landowners included Col. William Pope, Maj. Abner Field, and the Shivelys, Christian William and Jacob. Christian opened a mill and tavern on the section of his 1,000-acre (400 ha) tract near Mill Creek and the road—later incorporated as the Louisville and Nashville Turnpike—connecting Louisville to the Salt River.[5] This became the focus of a settlement known as the “Shively precinct”. He donated the land for a church in 1816 that is now known as Parkview Methodist. A stagecoach stop was opened in 1831. The Elizabethtown and Paducah Railroad arrived in the 1870s.[5] Shortly before the Civil War, the area became popular among German immigrants, mostly from Bavaria, and they erected St. Helen’s Catholic Church in 1897. The community was commonly known as “St. Helen’s” for the next few years, but the post office (est. 1902) could not adopt it owing to another community with that name in Lee County.[5] A streetcar line was extended to the area in 1904. Eight whiskey distilleries opened nearby after the end of Prohibition. When Louisville began an attempt to annex and tax them during the Great Depression, they talked the residents of Shively into incorporating separately (finalized May 23, 1938) and annexing their district instead. Their $20-million revenue stream left the small city well funded, despite its becoming the state’s fastest-growing city during the 1950s. Increased taxes and changing tastes closed most of Shively’s distilleries in the late 1960s. Shively’s population has gradually declined since reaching 19,223 in 1970. Budget surpluses became shortfalls, and Shively tried but failed to annex more suburban territory in Pleasure Ridge Park in 1984. The area’s fortunes have since improved somewhat, with various public works projects occurring and some businesses moving to the area. However, the area along Seventh Street north of Dixie is still known for its seedy adult entertainment businesses.[14] Into the 2000s, the area lagged behind eastern and southern Jefferson County, with one of its few remaining large retail centers, the 150,000-square-foot (14,000 m2) Dillard’s on Dixie Highway (est. 1956), closing in 2007 due to slow sales at the location despite the chain’s general profitability in the Louisville area.[15]

Last updated: 27th August, 2020	en	helmeticon.png	Spartacus Educational	https://spartacus-educational.com/Carl_Braden.htm	Andrew Wade Case Carl Braden began work at the Louisville Courier-Journal whereas Anne Braden spent her time raising their three children, James, Elizabeth and Anita. They were both active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In 1954 the Bradens became involved in helping Andrew Wade, an electrician, in buying a house. "Carl and I were both part of a statewide committee to repeal the Kentucky school segregation law. We were also involved in trying to break down discrimination in hospitals. In the spring of 1954, a Black friend, Andrew Wade, asked us if we would buy a house and transfer it to him. He and his wife had one child, two and a half years old, and another on the way. They were crowded into a small apartment and were anxious to move out of the city. Andrew had tried, but as soon as sellers found out he was Black, he wouldn't get the house. He decided the only way left was to have a white person buy it for him. Before he came to us, he had asked several others. For one reason or another, they refused. But we felt he had a right to a new house and never thought twice about doing it." (7) Andrew, his pregnant wife, Charlotte and their 2-year-old daughter Rosemary - moved into their new home at 4010 Rone Court, Louisville. Anne Braden later recalled: "That night, they heard gunshots, and somebody was firing at the house, and Andrew says he told his wife to get down, but it didn’t hit anybody. And they looked out and there was a cross burning in the field next to them.” In the days that followed "a stone bearing a racial epithet hurled into a window, the local dairy refused to deliver milk; the Wades’ newspaper subscription canceled because the carrier wouldn’t deliver it." (8) Anne Braden explained: "A Wade Defense Committee was formed that had strong support in the Black community, but not a lot of whites. We got the police to put up a guard, which we never trusted. Some people volunteered to stay all night to help the Wades to keep watch.." (9) One of the guards was Lewis Lubka. “I was in the back kitchen with a gun. And when we were shot at we shot back. I was working days and helping guard the house at nights.” (10) Millard Grubbs, a member of the Ku Klux Klan, who lived in Alabama, wrote to the local newspaper, Shively Newsweek, claiming that the Wade purchase as a "Communist conspiracy" to establish "a black beach-head in every white sub-division". He argued that segregation had been ordained by God and condemning the Marxist world plotters" who would undermine it. He went on to say that Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower were involved in this conspiracy and that to challenge segregation was part of a "rising red bureaucracy". He ended his letter by inviting "loyal white people" to join his newly formed American White Brotherhood. (11) The night of June 27, 1954, a bomb went off under Rosemary's room, causing $7,000 worth of damages to the property. Luckily, she had gone to spend the night with her grandmother. (12) The Louisville Police Chief Carl E. Heustis told Carl Braden that he had a confession from the man (a former policeman) who set the dynamite and there'd be an arrest in a few days. (13) Although the people responsible, the same who had participated in the cross burning just weeks earlier, were identified, they were neither arrested or indicted for the crime. (14) On 16th September, the state prosecutor made a statement that there were two theories about the bombing. As Anne Braden explained: "One was that the neighbors blew it up to get the Wades out of the area. The other was that it was a Communist plot to stir up trouble between the races and bring about the overthrow of the governments of Kentucky and the United States. The prosecutor was developing the theory that Wade would never have thought of moving there on his own, because Black people are really happy with things as they are until white radicals stir them up." (15) On 1st October, 1954, instead of the grand jury producing indictments against the people who blew up the house, those white people who had been supportive of the Wades were charged with sedition. This included Carl and Anne Braden, Vernon Bown, Mary Louise Gilbert, LaRue Spiker, Lew Lubka and I. O. Ford. Bown, a young white man who stayed with Charlotte Wade during the day while Andrew Wade was at work, was charged with the dynamiting of the house. (16) Amber Duke has argued that the only way this can be explained is that this was at the time of McCarthyism and anti-Communist hysteria. (17) Anne recalled: "They raided our house and took all of our files. We'd been in touch with many different groups, and we had folders on left-wing organizations. They took a lot of our books. Carl had grown up in a socialist home, and he had a Marxist and left-wing library. They took anything with a Russian name: books by Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, and Turgenev from a Russian literature course I had in college. The commonwealth detective who went through them testified that he didn't really know too much about books. When he was in school, he said, they made him read, and it turned him against books, and he hadn't read much since." (18) The Bradens became victims of what became known as McCarthyism. On 9th February, 1950, Joseph McCarthy, a senator from Wisconsin, made a speech claiming to have a list of 205 people in the State Department that were known to be members of the American Communist Party (later he reduced this figure to 57). The list of names was not a secret and had been in fact published by the Secretary of State in 1946. These people had been identified during a preliminary screening of 3,000 federal employees. Some had been communists but others had been fascists, alcoholics and sexual deviants. If screened, McCarthy's own drink problems and sexual preferences would have resulted in him being put on the list. (19) For the next two years McCarthy's Senate committee investigated various government departments and questioned a large number of people about their political past. Some lost their jobs after they admitted they had been members of the Communist Party. McCarthy made it clear to the witnesses that the only way of showing that they had abandoned their left-wing views was by naming other members of the party. This witch-hunt and anti-communist hysteria became known as McCarthyism. (20) Lynn Burnett has argued: "During the period of McCarthyism, right-wing forces exploited the growing tensions between the Soviet Union and the United States that developed in the wake of the Second World War. They used those tensions to whip the American public into a state of fear: Communism, they said, would spread rapidly across the globe unless severe measures were taken. They warned that Communists had already infiltrated deep into American society, and were working with the Soviet Union to undermine the United States from the inside. After using this wildly unsubstantiated myth to whip the public into a state of fear, these forces then used that fear as an excuse to destroy causes they opposed – including civil rights and organized labor – under the pretense that such causes were Communistic. It was easy to manufacture the connection because Communists were, indeed, major supporters of racial justice and labor rights. Because Communists were highly involved in those causes, anyone devoted to those causes would have worked around and known Communists themselves. In the period of McCarthyism, anyone who was around Communists was framed as a Communist sympathizer, which was then equated with being an enemy of the state. This is what was now happening to Anne and Carl Braden." (21) The defendants asked for and were granted separate trials. The state insisted that Carl Braden, the perceived ringleader face trial of the initial sedition charge. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) provided Louis Lusky as his defence attorney and he faced an all-white jury. The state provided nine former American Communist Party. members, now paid FBI informants. "Their testimonies were largely biographical, detailing the evils of communism in their own lives and asserting that the CP-USA was an organization bent on the overthrow of the USA government." (22) Two of the witnesses, Matt Cvetic and Manning Johnson, were both later discredited. (23) Prosecuting attorney, Scott Hamilton contended that the dynamiting of the Wade house was a Communist plot to excite racial hatred. He told the jury: "Sedition is communism and communism is sedition - there is no distinction." The defence on the other hand, argued that the prosecution was trying to get the jury to "say something the law doesn't say". Braden's attorney said the issue was simply "whether or not a man has the right to an opinion different from those in the community." (24) Anne pointed out: "Carl was tried first. It was December... Every once in a while, they'd imply that we blew up the house, that Vernon Bown's radio was used to set off the dynamite. They introduced our books; tables of them were on trial. But the main testimony came from nine "expert" witnesses, gotten from the House Un-American Activities Committee. They were there to create atmosphere. None of them claimed to know Carl, but they testified that anybody who read those books was probably a Communist. They said that the purchase and resale of the Wade house fit in with the Communist program for the South, of taking land away from white people and giving it to Black people. They actually got on the witness stand and said that." (25) Carl Braden was found guilty of sedition. His punishment was fixed at fifteen years' imprisonment and a $5,000 fine. His employer, the Louisville Courier-Journal, immediately issued a statement saying it had dismissed Braden: "This newspaper has gone on the time-honored principles, rooted in our American Constitution, that a man is innocent until proved guilty. Since Braden was charged by the grand jury on October 1st, he has performed no work for this organization. His conviction now puts a permanent end to his connection with the Courier-Journal." (26) Anne Braden's trial was due to start on 14th February, but then it got postponed to the 28th, and then again and again until April, when they agreed to put off all the Wade trials until the higher courts ruled on Carl's case. At the time several civil rights activists had been sent to prison for sedition. This included Steve Nelson in Pennsylvania, who been charged under the 1919 Pennsylvania Sedition Act for attempting to overthrow the state and federal government. Unable to use wiretap evidence the prosecution was forced to rely on the testimony of FBI informant Matt Cvetic. Nelson was convicted, fined $10,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Concurrent with the Pennsylvania Sedition case, Nelson and five co-defendants were indicted in 1953 under the Smith Act. All six men were found guilty and each sentenced to 5 years and fined $10,000. (27) Steve Nelson argued his case in the publication of The Thirteenth Juror (1955). His lawyers claimed that the testimony of Matt Cvetic was deeply flawed. Daniel J. Leab, the author of I Was a Communist for the FBI: The Unhappy Life and Times of Matt Cvetic (2000) that by 1955 Cvetic had been largely discredited as a witness and the Justice Department's Committee on Security Witnesses unanimously recommended that he not be used as a witness unless his testimony could be corroborated by external sources." (28) In 1956 in Pennsylvania v. Nelson, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1919 Pennsylvania Sedition Act. The court ruled that the enactment of the Smith Act superseded the enforceability of the Pennsylvania Sedition Act and all similar state laws. In the same year the Supreme Court granted Nelson and the other five defendants in the Smith Act case a new trial on the grounds that testimony had been perjured in the earlier case. By the beginning of 1957 the Government decided to drop all charges, bringing six years of legal battles to an end. (29) Anne Braden pointed out that their case had influenced the decision of the Supreme Court. "They saw it as a horrible example of what happens when you turn every local prosecutor loose with a state sedition law." The state prosecutor dropped all sedition charges against Anne and her co-defendants but it was not until 1956 that they overturned Carl Braden's conviction. (30) The Wade family attempted to repair their home, but amid continuing hostility, sold the house at a loss and moved back into west Louisville. (31) Southern Conference Education Fund Carl and Anne could not, however, return to their old lives. In order to stay safe and be in a supportive environment, they moved into a Black neighborhood, where their children wouldn’t have to see their parents being constantly ostracized. In 1957, the Bradens joined the Southern Conference Education Fund (SCEF), an organization dedicated to building White southern support for integration, and had thrown their full support behind the Bradens during their sedition trial. Its monthly newsletter, the Southern Patriot, was produced for the supporters of civil rights across the nation. During Carl’s incarceration, the Patriot had published articles by Anne and had helped her gain a national audience. The executive director of the SCEF was Jim Dombrowski and its vice president was Modjeska Simpkins. (32) Anne recalled: "Jim Dombrowski, the architect of the ongoing SCEF, was one of the greatest people who ever lived in the South. He was a founder, with Myles Horton and Don West, of Highlander Folk School. He's been involved in various struggles for social justice since the early 1930s. He saw the need for a group of Blacks and whites working together with a one-point program: End segregation in the South... In 1957 Carl and I went to work for SCEF. They didn't have much money, so we worked for practically nothing at first. Our main job was to reach white people and help them see that civil rights was their battle, too. We didn't have many resources, and we were fighting against a lot of fear. We traveled around, linking up with college professors, students, teachers, professional people, and ministers - many of whom lost their churches when they took a stand for equal rights." (33) The SCEF worked closely with other civil rights organizations such as Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Carl also became friends with Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. Another close associate was Virginia Durr, a White Southern aristocrat whose husband, Clifford Durr, had worked for Franklin D. Roosevelt during the New Deal. Writing to a friend in 1959, Virginia said, “I have made a new friend, Anne Braden… Who sees life in Alabama as I do, but with even deeper insight, much deeper I think. She is a lovely and charming and gentle person with a brilliant mind and is such a comfort to me.” A few months later, she wrote: “Anne Braden has been here recently and she is a perfect darling and I love her and I think she is a very good writer too. After she was gone, the Attorney General came out with a huge warning to all the people of Alabama to beware of her as she was so dangerous.” (34) In 1958 the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities (HUAC) announced it wanted to investigate left-wing activists in the Deep South. The SCEF produced a letter signed by 200 Black leaders that in essence said: "We've got enough problems down here. Our churches are being bombed. Our kids are being attacked as they go to school. The last thing we need is the House Un-American Activities Committee coming here to attack white people who are supporting justice." (35) Carl Braden was indicted in 1958 for contempt of Congress after refusing on First Amendment grounds to testify before the HUAC. He stated "My beliefs and my associations are none of the business of this Committee." Braden's conviction was upheld 5-4 in the Supreme Court in 1961 and he went to prison but was released early in 1962. (36) The Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham was used as a meeting-place for civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King, Ralph David Abernathy and Fred Shutterworth. Tensions became high when the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and the Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) became involved in a campaign to register African American to vote in Birmingham. On Sunday, 15th September, 1963, a white man was seen getting out of a white and turquoise Chevrolet car and placing a box under the steps of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. Soon afterwards, at 10.22 a.m., the bomb exploded killing Denise McNair (11), Addie Mae Collins (14), Carole Robertson (14) and Cynthia Wesley (14). The four girls had been attending Sunday school classes at the church. Twenty-three other people were also hurt by the blast. The bombing was the fourth in less than a month, and fiftieth in two decades, in what had become known as "Bombingham." (37) Diane Nash and her husband, James Bevel, in response to the bombing, became committed to raising a nonviolent army in Alabama. Its main objective was obtaining the vote for every black adult in the state. Alabama and other southern states had effectively excluded blacks from the political system since disenfranchising them at the turn of the century. In 1962, Deputy Attorney General Burke Marshall reported that “racial denials of the right to vote” existed in eight states, with only fourteen percent of eligible black citizens registered to vote in Alabama. In Mississippi, 42% of the population were black but only 2% were registered to vote. (38) This eventually became known as the Selma Voting Rights Campaign. Nash told Martin Luther King: "He (King) could notorious a battered people for nonviolent action and then give them nothing to do. After the church bombing, she and Bevel had realized that a crime so heinous pushed even nonviolent zealots like themselves to the edge of murder. They resolved to do one of two things; solve the crime and kill the bombers, or drive (Governor George Wallace and Police Chief Albert J. Lingo) from office by winning the right for Negroes to vote across Alabama." (39) Diane Nash attracted the attention of President John F. Kennedy, who selected her to serve on a committee to develop a national civil rights platform, which later became the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The next year, Nash planned marches from Selma to Montgomery to support voting rights for African Americans in Alabama. Carl and Anne Braden took part in the march. When the peaceful protesters tried to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge to head to Montgomery, police severely beat them. Stunned by images of law enforcement agents brutalizing the marchers, Congress passed the 1965 Voting Rights Act. (40) Carl Braden the executive director of the Southern Conference Education Fund, became the leader of the Training Institute for Propaganda and Organizing in Louisville, Kentucky in 1971. However, he died of a heart attack on 18th February, 1975. He was 60 years old. (41)

Ira Grupper Labor and Civil Rights Activist Grupper began his involvement in the civil rights movement participating in the Woolworth's Boycott in 1959. He continued by joining CORE, NAACP, and SNCC. He was one of 950 civil rights activists arrested in Jackson and held at Mississippi State Fairgrounds in 1965. After meeting Anne and Carl Braden, Grupper moved to Louisville, KY in 1969. There, Grupper became immersed in the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers, and Grain Millers Union (BCTGM), for which he served as shop steward for eight years. In 1980, the mayor appointed Grupper to the Louisville and Jefferson County Human Relations Commission. FEATURING KEYNOTE SPEAKER... Hamilton Nolan Labor Journalist, Gawker alum, and Author of The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor We’re THRILLED (and we think you should be, too!) to have Hamilton Nolan as our Keynote Speaker.

His recently released book—a national bestseller—The Hammer: Power, Inequality, and the Struggle for the Soul of Labor, is a “timely, in-depth, and vital exploration of the American labor movement and its critical place in our society and politics today.” The topics that Hamilton explores are incredibly relevant, now more than ever, during a time of exciting and unprecedented labor victories, especially in the south. We hope you can join us and hear from a prominent labor journalist and author who has done an “urgent on-the-ground excavation of the past, present, and future of the American labor movement.” Learn about Hamilton Nolan at www.hamiltonnolan.com/about NAMED IN HONOR OF... Lyman T. Johnson Kentucky Educator, School Administrator, and Desegregation Pioneer Johnson is best known as the plaintiff whose successful legal challenge opened the University of Kentucky to African American students in 1949. But by the time of that lawsuit, he had already been teaching at Louisville's Central High School for 16 years, having earned a master's degree in history from the University of Michigan in 1931. He was a local leader in the fight to equalize the pay of black and white teachers and an outspoken civil rights leader in denouncing discrimination. He led struggles to integrate neighborhoods, swimming pools, schools, and restaurants and headed the Louisville chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for six years. Lyman T. Johnson Middle School was named in his honor in 1980. Born in 1906 in Columbia, Tennessee, Johnson was the grandson of former slaves. He died in Louisville in 1997. Learn more about Lyman T.

Their purchase of a house in an all-white neighborhood on behalf of African Americans Andrew and Charlotte Wade violated Louisville’s color line and provoked violence against both families, culminating with the dynamiting of the house in June 1964. A subsequent grand jury investigation concentrated not on the neighborhood’s harassment of the Wades, but instead looked to the Braden’s supposedly “communistic intentions” in backing the purchase, and they were indicted for sedition that fall. The couple’s sedition case made national news and earned them the ire of segregationists across the South, which was reeling from the U.S. Supreme Court’s condemnation of school segregation in its Brown ruling earlier that spring. Only Carl was convicted, and that conviction was later overturned, but the sedition charges left the Bradens pariahs, branded as radicals and “reds” in the Cold War South. They became fierce civil libertarians who openly espoused left-wing social critiques but would never either embrace nor disavow the Communist Party publicly because they felt that to do so accepted the terms of the 1950s anti-communist “witch hunts.” Anne Braden’s memoir of the case, The Wall Between, was published in 1958, becoming one of the few accounts of its era to probe the psychology of white Southern racism from within. Their case also introduced the Bradens to the civil rights movement blossoming farther South, in which white allies were few and far between. The Bradens soon joined the staff of a regional civil rights organization, the Southern Conference Education Fund (SCEF), and began traveling the region to solicit greater white support for the movement. As the 1960s dawned, Anne Braden became a mentor and role model to younger Southern students who joined the movement, a role she maintained for the rest of her life. Although she was suspect in some circles, Braden publicized and supported the student sit-ins in the pages of SCEF’s Southern Patriot newspaper, which she edited, and she encouraged a broader vision of social change that would include peace and justice. She was also instrumental in Louisville’s Open Housing movement in the later ’60s and was among the leading white voices who helped to bring peace to the turbulent second generation of school desegregation, in which busing brought open violence to Louisville and other cities in the mid-1970s. After Carl Braden’s untimely death in 1975, Anne Braden remained a central proponent of racial justice in Louisville and across the South, eventually evolving from pariah to heroine. Braden’s primary message was the centrality of racism in the U.S. social fabric, but she constantly stressed that civil rights activism was as much whites’ responsibility as it was that of people of color. In speeches delivered in the nearly six decades of her activism, Braden would frequently reflect on her odyssey from segregationist youth to anti-racist advocate, a process she called “turning myself inside out.” Reared in a middle class, pro-segregation family, Braden changed as a young reporter covering the emerging civil rights movement in 1947 Alabama, where she had observed two separate and unequal systems of justice meted out in the Birmingham courthouse. She subsequently left the supposed neutrality of mainstream journalism to apply her considerable journalistic talents to the aid of African Americans in their quest to end segregation. Her efforts against Southern racism, her friend and fellow activist Angela Davis reflected, “enabled vast and often spectacular social changes, that most of her contemporaries during the 1950s would never have been able to imagine.” The documentation about Anne Braden’s remarkable activism is revealed in the 2012 film appropriately entitled, Anne Braden: The Southern Patriot. The remembrance presented below is by Heather Gray, an Atlanta-based journalist and activist whose political development was intensely shaped, on a personal level, by Anne Braden. The text has been slightly altered from an earlier version published by Political Affairs in May 2015. Regarding Southern white resistance to white supremacy, the story of Anne Braden is perhaps one of the most important contemporary depictions of it all. Along with other Southern women like Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King, she was a giant in the civil rights movement. Her biographer, Cate Fosl, wisely said about Anne, “Hers was among the most forceful and persistent of white voices for racial equality in modern U.S. history.” Fosl’s Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and The Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South is an invaluable history of our Southern civil rights movement. Upon meeting Anne in 1957, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that she was “the most amazing white woman” for her dedication to civil rights. And when Anne and her husband, Carl, were being maligned as communists during the height of the civil rights struggle in the 1960s, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth of Birmingham declared that in no way would he abandon Anne. Cries of “communism,” he said, were always the ploy in an attempt to destabilize effective work for justice. One of the many newspaper clippings about Anne following her death at the age of 81 in 2006 described her in bold print as “A Rebel Without a Pause.” That was Anne to be sure. The fact is, she never shied away from anything that would advance justice in the South, and she never let anyone else pause either. This defiance on her part was always on the surface and always expressed. In the 1950s, she and her husband Carl joined the staff of the civil rights organization, the Southern Conference Education Fund (SCEF). As a journalist, Anne wrote for SCEF’s newspaper The Southern Patriot. In a revealing 1962 article in the paper entitled, “Don’t Waste a Stamp,” Anne addressed potential funders of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Many across the country were concerned about the increasing violence in the South and wanted to encourage these young activists to leave. Anne wrote: “While I was in Southwest Georgia, one of the two cars used by the student registration workers broke down. They managed to get it fixed, but the prospects were dim. “And even two cars as not enough—not for 10 or more students to canvass over three counties and planning soon to expand into more. Food these students can sometimes manage without. Cars are essential. “Thinking of their situation, you probably feel like writing them a letter urging them to get out of Georgia before they are killed. But I tell you this would be a waste of a stamp. They won’t leave. So instead, why not use your stamp to send a check to help buy another car? “Students in Mississippi have the same problem. One SNCC field secretary told me he is assigned to cover a 45-square-mile area populated by 28,000 Negroes. And he has no car at all. So sometimes he travels by mule, literally.” Like hundreds of white and Black activists throughout the South and the country, I am honored to acknowledge that I am one of Anne’s “white” step-children. Anne seemed to have her fingers on the pulse of activism throughout the entire South. She called upon countless numbers of us on a consistent basis to help her on a project or someone else in the region that needed assistance. Sometimes we didn’t know what was happening behind the scenes. Only the week after she died did I discover, after a phone call from Nick Mottern in New York, that it was Anne who advised national organizers of the Africa Peace Tour in the southeast that I helped put together back in 1987. Organizing the tour in seven states helped me considerably in subsequent work against apartheid and in learning more about the Southern region and its activists. Anne knew this would happen of course! She drew upon those contacts and expertise to intensify and expand the work. I remember in the 1980s when I was in an Atlanta hospital for a major operation, just out of the recovery room, and the phone rang. It was Anne. Somehow, she tracked me down from Louisville. Anne said, “Heather, you’re just out of the operating room? I’m so sorry, but I need this important information.” So, while I could hardly hold on to the phone, for some 30 minutes we talked about an upcoming major demonstration in the South to address the horrors of white supremacy. But that was Anne. None of us who worked with her would even think about not helping her with whatever she needed. I would venture to say that most of us felt honored that she even thought to call us for advice or information. I was also fortunate to serve on the board of the Southern Organizing Committee for Racial and Economic Justice (SOC) that Anne co-chaired along with Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The organization was one of the few that provided the opportunity for us to think and act regionally and to make the essential connections of the myriad of issues we faced. The meetings were always filled with a diversity of Black, white, and eventually Latino activists in the region. We would sit for hours in New Orleans, Montgomery, or Birmingham to strategize on various issues, activities, and mistakes we’d made then and in the past. We would also listen, learn, and occasionally join in while the legendary leaders in our midst discussed and analyzed the dynamics of white supremacy, racial politics generally, and labor challenges in the South. Anne was never without offering a lengthy epistle about anything until the wee hours of the night along with her ever-present cigarettes! These sessions were often both grueling and enlightening. They were not only a history lesson but also a socialization process into the tactics of Southern civil rights activism, and Anne understood the importance of this. She wanted to pass this information on to all of us and to keep the momentum going at every conceivable juncture. The meetings were a roll call of Southern leaders and activists the likes of Rev. C.T. Vivian, Jack O’Dell, Gwen Patton, Virginia Durr, Rev. Fred Taylor, Rev. James Orange, Connie Tucker, John Zippert, Jackie Ward, Rev. Ben Chavis, Charlie Orrock, Ann Romaine, Damu Smith, Jim Dunn, Judy Hand, Scott Douglas, Ron Chisholm, Spiver Gordon, Pat Bryant, Tirso Moreno, and countless others. I remember several years ago when Anne was to receive yet another award, this time from the Fund for Southern Communities. We watched as the small, frail, yet powerful Anne walked to the front of the crowded Sisters Chapel at Spelman College in Atlanta to receive the award. In what was vintage Anne, she told the crowd that while she appreciated the award, it surprised her that she would be acknowledged in this way and that she always expected, instead, to get arrested! Anne was not unlike many white Southern women and men in the civil rights movement who were essentially kicked out of their family when they declared their commitment to racial justice. She told me once that however painful the loss of family might be, the experience of battling white supremacy was liberating. She said that once white people have wrenched themselves as much as possible from the horrible burden and shackles of white supremacy, we are finally free. But Anne also insisted, of course, that the responsibility of whites goes far beyond “examining our souls.” In a January/February 2006 Fellowship of Reconciliation article, entitled, “Finding Another America,” she expressed that in a practical sense relatively little, if any, progress toward justice in America could be made until racism is confronted. She said: “It is certainly true that our society faces many life-and-death issues. But we can’t deal effectively with any of these problems until we mount an aggressive offense against racism. This is not only morally right, it’s a practical matter. As long as our society can dump its problems on people of color, it will not seek or find real solutions.” In a discussion she and I once had about the South African Freedom Charter and whether we need something like that in the United States, I remember her saying that we already have in place much that is not adhered to. She said, “There’s nothing wrong for example, with the U.S. Bill of Rights, we just need to implement what it says.” This was typical Anne, who appropriately acknowledged that the U.S. has much rhetoric about justice along with official documents to that effect, but which, given the country’s historically white supremacist orientation, is simply not applied. The introductory summary of the life of Anne Braden was developed by the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the Carl Braden Memorial Center. People’s World has an enormous challenge ahead of it—to raise $200,000 from readers and supporters in 2023, including $125,000 during the Fund Drive, which runs from Feb. 1 to May 1.

It started 60 years ago when white activists, led by Carl and Anne Braden purchased a home on behalf of a young black family. That act touched off weeks of racial violence and led to serious criminal charges against the activists. Today, the neighborhood in Shively seems a most unlikely place for cross-burnings, gunfire and a dynamite attack, but that’s exactly what happened along the street over the course of several weeks in 1954. The hostility began when an African-American family—Andrew Wade, his pregnant wife, Charlotte and their 2-year-old daughter Rosemary—moved into their new home at 4010 Rone Court. Andrew Wade was an electrician who wanted to move his family to the suburbs but was turned down by a succession of white real estate agents, who refused to cross the illegal but still highly observed line of segregation. In an interview from the 1980s featured in the documentary "Anne Braden: Southern Patriot," Wade recalls a piece of advice he received from agent. "He said 'Wade, let’s be realistic—if you see a house, you like the house, regardless of where it is, get a white person if necessary if it’s in a white neighborhood to buy the house for you and transfer it to you. It’s that simple.'" So, that’s what he did. Wade enlisted the help of acquaintances Carl and Anne Braden, left-wing activists who had been vocal in their opposition to Louisville’s housing segregation laws. The transaction was completed but trouble began as soon as the Wades moved in. "That night, they heard gunshots, and somebody was firing at the house, and Andrew says he told his wife to get down, but it didn’t hit anybody. And they looked out and there was a cross burning in the field next to them," Anne Braden recalled in the documentary. There would more trouble in the days to come; a stone bearing a racial epithet hurled into a window, the local dairy refused to deliver milk; the Wades’ newspaper subscription canceled because the carrier wouldn’t deliver it. Police were stationed nearby for protection, but the Wades and their white allies didn’t trust them, so they formed a committee whose members would take turns staying in the house. One of the guards was Lewis Lubka. "I was in the back kitchen with a gun. And when we were shot at we shot back. I was working days and helping guard the house at nights," said Lubka, the last surviving activist who's now 88 and lives in Fargo, North Dakota. Several weeks went by and tensions seemed to ease a bit. But just after midnight on June 27, 1954: "We was coming in and a bomb went off under the house," Lubka said. The home was blown up with dynamite. The explosives were placed under Rosemary's room. No one was in the house at the time. Cate Fosl is a biographer of Anne Braden and heads the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research at the University of Louisville. She said it was no secret who was responsible for this and other attacks, but: "No indictments were returned against any of the neighbors, even though they had admitted to burning a cross and being hostile to the idea. But all of the indictments were against the whites who supported the Wades in this quest for a house," Fosl said. Anne and Carl Braden and the five other whites were charged with sedition, accused of hatching a Communist plot to buy the home, blow it up, touch off a race war and overthrow the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Today, it sounds outrageous. But in an interview from the collections of the Kentucky Historical Society, Anne Braden provided some context: this happened at the confluence of McCarthyism and the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling that outlawed school segregation. "And I always felt that the Wades and us became lightning rods. They couldn’t get at the Supreme Court but that could get to us," Anne Braden said. Carl Braden was convicted of sedition and spent eight months in prison. The following year a ruling came down from the U.S. Supreme Court in a Pennsylvania case that said, in essence, sedition is a federal crime, not a state offense. Carl Braden’s state conviction was later reversed and the charges against the other defendants were dropped. Branded as Communist troublemakers, all the defendants had trouble finding work in the following years. Carl Braden died in 1975. Anne Braden continued her work opposing housing and school segregation. The Wade family attempted to repair their home, but amid continuing hostility, sold the house at a loss and moved back into west Louisville, where Charlotte Wade still lives. She no longer speaks publicly about the case. Andrew Wade died in 2005. Anne Braden, who died in 2006 at the age of 81, told the Kentucky Historical Society she had no regrets about helping the Wades buy their dream home. "It would have been unthinkable for us to say no, because this is something we believed in. You live by what you believe in or you don’t, that’s all." Fosl said the Bradens and the Wades would be proud of how the once-troubled Shively neighborhood has changed. "It is one of the most integrated, multi-racial, multi-cultural neighborhoods in Louisville today," Fosl said. It’s also the home of 31-year-old postal worker Steve Ebbs, his wife, and two young daughters. On a October morning, Ebbs is standing next to a historical marker erected near the Wade home site a few years ago. He’s the great-nephew of Andrew and Charlotte Wade, and lives down the street from 4010 Rone Court, now called Clyde Drive. Ebbs has been the family’s spokesman during the anniversary commemorations. "It’s something that I really take pride in," Ebbs said. "I’ve made sure that my children understand the significance of the fact that there’s a monument here and it is our blood relatives that went through what they did to receive something like this. So I make sure that I definitely give it the respect that it’s due." (Historic photos courtesy of The Courier-Journal. More photos can be seen here.)

For the Flobots song named after her, see Fight with Tools. For the author and elocutionist, see Anna Braden. American civil rights activist, journalist, and educator (1924–2006) External videos "Anne Braden: Southern Patriot", California Newsreel A Riveting Biography of a Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden – Civil Rights (2003) Anne McCarty Braden (July 28, 1924 – March 6, 2006) was an American civil rights activist, journalist, and educator dedicated to the cause of racial equality.[1] She and her husband bought a suburban house for an African American couple during Jim Crow. White neighbors burned crosses and bombed the house. During McCarthyism, Anne was charged with sedition. She wrote and organized for the southern civil rights movement before violations became national news. Anne was among nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists, organizing across racial divides in environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements. Background [edit] Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 28, 1924, to Gambrell N. McCarty & Anita D. (Crabbe) McCarty and raised in rigidly segregated Anniston, Alabama, Braden grew up in a white, middle-class family that accepted southern racial mores wholeheartedly.[2] A devout Episcopalian, Braden was bothered by racial segregation, but never questioned it until her college years at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. As she grew older she experienced what has been framed as a "racial conversion narrative",[3] "a conversion of almost religious intensity" "turning myself inside out and upside down".[4] The experience that so affected her, in 1946, was witnessing a march of black veterans to the Birmingham courthouse, led by Louis Burnham of the Southern Negro Youth Congress, demanding the right to vote; with Braden covering the story as a reporter for the Birmingham News.[5] After working on newspapers in Anniston and Birmingham, Alabama, Anne Braden returned to Kentucky as a young adult to write for The Louisville Times. She became a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement at a time when it was unpopular among southern whites. Either you find a way to oppose the evil, or the evil becomes part of you and you are a part of it, and it winds itself around your soul like the arms of an octopus... If I did not oppose it, I was... responsible for its sins. — Anne Braden[4] While working at The Louisville Times, Anne met fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist. The couple married in 1948. Both were deeply involved in the civil rights cause and the subsequent social movements it prompted from the 1960s to the 1970s.[citation needed] Career [edit] Early activism [edit] In 1948, Anne and Carl Braden immersed themselves in Henry Wallace's run on the Progressive Party for the presidency. Soon after Wallace's defeat, they left mainstream journalism to apply their writing talents to the interracial left wing of the labor movement through the FE (Farm and Equipment Workers) Union, representing Louisville's International Harvester employees.[6] Even as the postwar labor movement splintered and grew less militant, civil rights causes heated up. In 1950, Anne Braden spearheaded a hospital desegregation drive in Kentucky. She endured her first arrest in 1951 when she led a delegation of southern white women organized by the Civil Rights Congress to Mississippi to protest the execution of Willie McGee, an African American man convicted of the rape of a white woman, Willette Hawkins.[6] Wade case [edit] In 1954, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, an African American couple who knew the Bradens through association, approached them with a proposal that would drastically alter all lives involved.[2] Like many other Americans after World War II, the Wades wanted to buy a house in a suburban neighborhood. Because of Jim Crow housing practices, the Wades had been unsuccessful for months in their quest to purchase a home on their own. The Bradens, not wavering in their support for African American civil rights, agreed to purchase the home for the Wades.[6] On May 15, 1954, Wade and his wife spent their first night in their new home in the Louisville suburb of Shively, Kentucky. Upon discovering that black people had moved in, white neighbors burned a cross in front of the house, shot out windows, and condemned the Bradens for buying it on the Wades' behalf. The Wades moved in two days before the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark condemnation of public schools' racial segregation policy in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas. Six weeks later, amid constant community tensions, the Wades' new house was dynamited one evening while they were out.[6] While Vernon Bown (an associate of the Wades and the Bradens) was indicted for the bombing, the actual bombers were never sought nor brought to trial. McCarthyism affected the ordeal. Instead of addressing the segregationists' violence, the investigators alleged that the Bradens and others helping the Wades were affiliated with the Communist Party, and made that the main subject of concern. White supremacists who were pro-segregation at the time charged that these alleged Communists had engineered the bombing to provide a cause célèbre and fund-raising opportunity, but this was never proven.[7] Nonetheless, in October 1954, Anne and Carl Braden and five other whites were charged with sedition.[7] After a sensationalized trial, Carl Braden—the perceived ringleader—was convicted of sedition and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. As Anne and the other defendants awaited a similar fate, Carl served eight months, but got out on $40,000 bond after a U.S. Supreme Court decision (Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) invalidated state sedition laws (Steven Nelson had been arrested under the Pennsylvania Sedition Law but the federal Smith Act superseded it). All charges were dropped against Braden, but the Wades moved to the traditionally black west Louisville.[8] Southern Conference Educational Fund [edit] Blacklisted from local employment, the Bradens took jobs as field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), a small, New Orleans-based civil rights organization whose mission was to solicit white southern support for the beleaguered southern civil rights movement.[2] In the years before southern civil rights violations made national news, the Bradens developed their own media, both through SCEF's monthly newspaper, The Southern Patriot, and through numerous pamphlets and press releases publicizing major civil rights campaigns. Her 1958 book The Wall Between[7] helped place the Bradens among the civil rights movement's most dedicated white allies. Anne Braden and her husband Carl were two of the most hated people of the 1950s and 1960s by the powers-that-were in the American south. As whites of impeccable southern credentials, they gave lie to the myth that all southern whites opposed the civil rights movement—and that drove the racists wild.—David Nolan[9] Carl Braden died suddenly of a heart attack on February 18, 1975. After Carl's death, Anne Braden remained among the nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists. She instigated the formation of a new regional multiracial organization, the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice (SOC), which initiated battles against environmental racism. She became an instrumental voice in the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition of the 1980s and in the two Jesse Jackson presidential campaigns, as well as organizing across racial divides in the new environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements that sprang up in that decade. In 1977, Braden became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP).[10] WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization. The organization works to increase communication between women and connect the public with forms of women-based media. In 2005, she joined Louisville antiwar demonstrations in a wheelchair.[11] She cofounded the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and continued involvement in local activism addressing modern concerns of police brutality, environmental racism, and LGBT rights.[11] Personal life and death [edit] In 1948, she married fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist.[12] The Bradens had three children: James, a Rhodes Scholar and a 1980 graduate of Harvard Law School where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review;[13] Anita, born in 1953, who died of a pulmonary disorder at age 11, and Elizabeth, born in 1960, who has worked as a teacher in many countries around the world, serving as of 2006 in that capacity in rural Ethiopia.[citation needed] Anne Braden died on March 6, 2006, at Jewish Hospital in Louisville[14] and was buried at Eminence Cemetery in Eminence, Kentucky. Only three days earlier, she had completed a proposal for a local activist summer camp.[11] She was remembered by many in the civil rights movement, including Ira Grupper, Dorie Ladner, David Nolan, Efia Nwangaza, and Gwendolyn Patton.[15] Awards [edit] Braden received the American Civil Liberties Union's first Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty in 1990 for her contributions to civil liberties.[16] As she aged, her activism focused more on Louisville, where she remained a leader in anti-racist drives and taught social justice history classes at University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University.[17] Legacy [edit] After her death, the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research was established at the University of Louisville in November 2006 and was officially opened on April 4, 2007. The institute focuses on social justice globally, but concentrates on the southern United States and the Louisville area.[18] The alternative hip hop group Flobots paid tribute with the song "Anne Braden" on their 2007 album Fight With Tools. The track includes several audio samples of Anne Braden, describing her life and thoughts on race in her own words.[19] Works [edit] In 1958 Anne wrote The Wall Between, a memoir of their sedition case.[7] One of the few books of its time to unpack the psychology of white southern racism from within, it was praised by human rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt, and became a runner-up for the National Book Award. From the 1980s into the 2000s, Braden wrote for Southern Exposure, Southern Changes, and the National Guardian and Fellowship. Braden, Anne (1958). The wall between. New York: Monthly Review Press.

Sat. July 24, 2021, at 11 AM Mazzoli Federal Bldg., 600 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pl. We will begin at 11 AM in the park in front of the Federal Building where we have permission from the city to use the site. We will set up under the trees near the corner of 7th & Chestnut so speakers and participants alike will be in the shade. We will have speakers (brief) and music then march and/or caravan to Breewayy, the square at 6th between Liberty and Jefferson. There we will place flowers in honor of Breonna Taylor, to connect with her profession as a healer, and to link the struggle for health care with the fight to end systemic racism. We will return to where we began and share refreshments and socialize. We will also be celebrating Medicare’s 56th birthday. We hope you will join with us in demanding that Congress take action by passing a national single payer, improved Medicare for All plan. Such a plan would end the tragic denial of care that causes so much suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

Their purchase of a house in an all-white neighborhood on behalf of African Americans Andrew and Charlotte Wade violated Louisville’s color line and provoked violence against both families, culminating with the dynamiting of the house in June 1964. A subsequent grand jury investigation concentrated not on the neighborhood’s harassment of the Wades, but instead looked to the Braden’s supposedly “communistic intentions” in backing the purchase, and they were indicted for sedition that fall. The couple’s sedition case made national news and earned them the ire of segregationists across the South, which was reeling from the U.S. Supreme Court’s condemnation of school segregation in its Brown ruling earlier that spring. Only Carl was convicted, and that conviction was later overturned, but the sedition charges left the Bradens pariahs, branded as radicals and “reds” in the Cold War South. They became fierce civil libertarians who openly espoused left-wing social critiques but would never either embrace nor disavow the Communist Party publicly because they felt that to do so accepted the terms of the 1950s anti-communist “witch hunts.” Anne Braden’s memoir of the case, The Wall Between, was published in 1958, becoming one of the few accounts of its era to probe the psychology of white Southern racism from within. Their case also introduced the Bradens to the civil rights movement blossoming farther South, in which white allies were few and far between. The Bradens soon joined the staff of a regional civil rights organization, the Southern Conference Education Fund (SCEF), and began traveling the region to solicit greater white support for the movement. As the 1960s dawned, Anne Braden became a mentor and role model to younger Southern students who joined the movement, a role she maintained for the rest of her life. Although she was suspect in some circles, Braden publicized and supported the student sit-ins in the pages of SCEF’s Southern Patriot newspaper, which she edited, and she encouraged a broader vision of social change that would include peace and justice. She was also instrumental in Louisville’s Open Housing movement in the later ’60s and was among the leading white voices who helped to bring peace to the turbulent second generation of school desegregation, in which busing brought open violence to Louisville and other cities in the mid-1970s. After Carl Braden’s untimely death in 1975, Anne Braden remained a central proponent of racial justice in Louisville and across the South, eventually evolving from pariah to heroine. Braden’s primary message was the centrality of racism in the U.S. social fabric, but she constantly stressed that civil rights activism was as much whites’ responsibility as it was that of people of color. In speeches delivered in the nearly six decades of her activism, Braden would frequently reflect on her odyssey from segregationist youth to anti-racist advocate, a process she called “turning myself inside out.” Reared in a middle class, pro-segregation family, Braden changed as a young reporter covering the emerging civil rights movement in 1947 Alabama, where she had observed two separate and unequal systems of justice meted out in the Birmingham courthouse. She subsequently left the supposed neutrality of mainstream journalism to apply her considerable journalistic talents to the aid of African Americans in their quest to end segregation. Her efforts against Southern racism, her friend and fellow activist Angela Davis reflected, “enabled vast and often spectacular social changes, that most of her contemporaries during the 1950s would never have been able to imagine.” The documentation about Anne Braden’s remarkable activism is revealed in the 2012 film appropriately entitled, Anne Braden: The Southern Patriot. The remembrance presented below is by Heather Gray, an Atlanta-based journalist and activist whose political development was intensely shaped, on a personal level, by Anne Braden. The text has been slightly altered from an earlier version published by Political Affairs in May 2015. Regarding Southern white resistance to white supremacy, the story of Anne Braden is perhaps one of the most important contemporary depictions of it all. Along with other Southern women like Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King, she was a giant in the civil rights movement. Her biographer, Cate Fosl, wisely said about Anne, “Hers was among the most forceful and persistent of white voices for racial equality in modern U.S. history.” Fosl’s Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and The Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South is an invaluable history of our Southern civil rights movement. Upon meeting Anne in 1957, the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that she was “the most amazing white woman” for her dedication to civil rights. And when Anne and her husband, Carl, were being maligned as communists during the height of the civil rights struggle in the 1960s, the Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth of Birmingham declared that in no way would he abandon Anne. Cries of “communism,” he said, were always the ploy in an attempt to destabilize effective work for justice. One of the many newspaper clippings about Anne following her death at the age of 81 in 2006 described her in bold print as “A Rebel Without a Pause.” That was Anne to be sure. The fact is, she never shied away from anything that would advance justice in the South, and she never let anyone else pause either. This defiance on her part was always on the surface and always expressed. In the 1950s, she and her husband Carl joined the staff of the civil rights organization, the Southern Conference Education Fund (SCEF). As a journalist, Anne wrote for SCEF’s newspaper The Southern Patriot. In a revealing 1962 article in the paper entitled, “Don’t Waste a Stamp,” Anne addressed potential funders of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Many across the country were concerned about the increasing violence in the South and wanted to encourage these young activists to leave. Anne wrote: “While I was in Southwest Georgia, one of the two cars used by the student registration workers broke down. They managed to get it fixed, but the prospects were dim. “And even two cars as not enough—not for 10 or more students to canvass over three counties and planning soon to expand into more. Food these students can sometimes manage without. Cars are essential. “Thinking of their situation, you probably feel like writing them a letter urging them to get out of Georgia before they are killed. But I tell you this would be a waste of a stamp. They won’t leave. So instead, why not use your stamp to send a check to help buy another car? “Students in Mississippi have the same problem. One SNCC field secretary told me he is assigned to cover a 45-square-mile area populated by 28,000 Negroes. And he has no car at all. So sometimes he travels by mule, literally.” Like hundreds of white and Black activists throughout the South and the country, I am honored to acknowledge that I am one of Anne’s “white” step-children. Anne seemed to have her fingers on the pulse of activism throughout the entire South. She called upon countless numbers of us on a consistent basis to help her on a project or someone else in the region that needed assistance. Sometimes we didn’t know what was happening behind the scenes. Only the week after she died did I discover, after a phone call from Nick Mottern in New York, that it was Anne who advised national organizers of the Africa Peace Tour in the southeast that I helped put together back in 1987. Organizing the tour in seven states helped me considerably in subsequent work against apartheid and in learning more about the Southern region and its activists. Anne knew this would happen of course! She drew upon those contacts and expertise to intensify and expand the work. I remember in the 1980s when I was in an Atlanta hospital for a major operation, just out of the recovery room, and the phone rang. It was Anne. Somehow, she tracked me down from Louisville. Anne said, “Heather, you’re just out of the operating room? I’m so sorry, but I need this important information.” So, while I could hardly hold on to the phone, for some 30 minutes we talked about an upcoming major demonstration in the South to address the horrors of white supremacy. But that was Anne. None of us who worked with her would even think about not helping her with whatever she needed. I would venture to say that most of us felt honored that she even thought to call us for advice or information. I was also fortunate to serve on the board of the Southern Organizing Committee for Racial and Economic Justice (SOC) that Anne co-chaired along with Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth. The organization was one of the few that provided the opportunity for us to think and act regionally and to make the essential connections of the myriad of issues we faced. The meetings were always filled with a diversity of Black, white, and eventually Latino activists in the region. We would sit for hours in New Orleans, Montgomery, or Birmingham to strategize on various issues, activities, and mistakes we’d made then and in the past. We would also listen, learn, and occasionally join in while the legendary leaders in our midst discussed and analyzed the dynamics of white supremacy, racial politics generally, and labor challenges in the South. Anne was never without offering a lengthy epistle about anything until the wee hours of the night along with her ever-present cigarettes! These sessions were often both grueling and enlightening. They were not only a history lesson but also a socialization process into the tactics of Southern civil rights activism, and Anne understood the importance of this. She wanted to pass this information on to all of us and to keep the momentum going at every conceivable juncture. The meetings were a roll call of Southern leaders and activists the likes of Rev. C.T. Vivian, Jack O’Dell, Gwen Patton, Virginia Durr, Rev. Fred Taylor, Rev. James Orange, Connie Tucker, John Zippert, Jackie Ward, Rev. Ben Chavis, Charlie Orrock, Ann Romaine, Damu Smith, Jim Dunn, Judy Hand, Scott Douglas, Ron Chisholm, Spiver Gordon, Pat Bryant, Tirso Moreno, and countless others. I remember several years ago when Anne was to receive yet another award, this time from the Fund for Southern Communities. We watched as the small, frail, yet powerful Anne walked to the front of the crowded Sisters Chapel at Spelman College in Atlanta to receive the award. In what was vintage Anne, she told the crowd that while she appreciated the award, it surprised her that she would be acknowledged in this way and that she always expected, instead, to get arrested! Anne was not unlike many white Southern women and men in the civil rights movement who were essentially kicked out of their family when they declared their commitment to racial justice. She told me once that however painful the loss of family might be, the experience of battling white supremacy was liberating. She said that once white people have wrenched themselves as much as possible from the horrible burden and shackles of white supremacy, we are finally free. But Anne also insisted, of course, that the responsibility of whites goes far beyond “examining our souls.” In a January/February 2006 Fellowship of Reconciliation article, entitled, “Finding Another America,” she expressed that in a practical sense relatively little, if any, progress toward justice in America could be made until racism is confronted. She said: “It is certainly true that our society faces many life-and-death issues. But we can’t deal effectively with any of these problems until we mount an aggressive offense against racism. This is not only morally right, it’s a practical matter. As long as our society can dump its problems on people of color, it will not seek or find real solutions.” In a discussion she and I once had about the South African Freedom Charter and whether we need something like that in the United States, I remember her saying that we already have in place much that is not adhered to. She said, “There’s nothing wrong for example, with the U.S. Bill of Rights, we just need to implement what it says.” This was typical Anne, who appropriately acknowledged that the U.S. has much rhetoric about justice along with official documents to that effect, but which, given the country’s historically white supremacist orientation, is simply not applied. The introductory summary of the life of Anne Braden was developed by the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the Carl Braden Memorial Center. People’s World has an enormous challenge ahead of it—to raise $200,000 from readers and supporters in 2023, including $125,000 during the Fund Drive, which runs from Feb. 1 to May 1.

(LEX 18) — Democratic State Representatives Lisa Willner and Attica Scott have announced new legislation to protect the safety and legal rights of protesters. The two held a press conference outside Carl Braden Memorial Center in Louisville to talk about the three new bills. The bills would focus on protester's rights to assemble and limit intimidating tactics used by law enforcement. They plan to file the bills on Monday in the Kentucky House of Representatives for consideration in the General Assembly. "We have not only the death, the murder of Breonna Taylor, the trauma that caused the community, but we have traumatized people walking all over the city traumatized at the hand of police overreach, police excessive use of force against protesters merely showing up to exercise their First Amendment rights," said Willner. The bills would also ban the use of military-grade equipment and outlaw kettling, which is a tactic used to surround protesters and prevent dispersing. Last year, Scott was arrested with others during a protest shortly before Louisville's 9 p.m. curfew on Sept. 24 near Louisville Free Public Library and First Unitarian Church at the intersection of South Fourth and York streets.

That has been a guiding principle for me and the Kentucky State AFL-CIO.”	en	/themes/custom/uh_tw/favicon.ico	Kentucky State AFL-CIO	https://ky.aflcio.org/content/20323	By BERRY CRAIG AFT Local 1360 “Civil rights are workers’ rights,” Bill Londrigan told the crowd at the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression's 21st annual Unity Dinner in Louisville. “You can’t have one without the other. That has been a guiding principle for me and the Kentucky State AFL-CIO.” President of the state’s largest labor organization since 1999, Londrigan earned the 44-year-old Falls City-based civil rights organization's highest honor, the Carl and Anne Braden Lifetime Achievement Award. Husband and wife, the Bradens, and other Bluegrass State activists, founded the Kentucky Alliance in 1974. The group’s “main mission is to fight against racism and injustices,” explained the union-printed dinner program. Carl and Anne Braden were journalists who championed civil rights and unions for many years. In 1954, they were charged with sedition for buying a house in the all-white Shively section of Louisville and selling it to Andrew and Charlotte Wade, an African American couple. Angry whites burned a cross in front of the house, shot out the windows and denounced the Bradens as communists. One night while the Wades were away, the house was dynamited, but the bombers were never caught. "Instead of going after the racist bombers, the state went after Anne and Carl, saying they were part of a communist plot to overthrow the government of Kentucky," said Alliance board member Ira Grupper, adding, "this was the height of McCarthyism and the Cold War." Carl was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison. He served eight months but was released after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down state sedition laws. Charges against both Bradens ultimately were dropped. Carl and Anne Braden are enshrined in the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame. Londrigan said he accepted the Braden award "in memory and honor" of the couple and of other "civil rights and union warriors that are residing with our heavenly Father whom I had the privilege and honor of working with for the cause of civil rights and workers' rights and who inspired and guided and encouraged me. "I have tried to emulate their spirit and resolve." The Bradens were allies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who, according to Londrigan, “recognized the interdependence of civil and workers’ rights.” He quoted King: “The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old age pensions, government relief for the destitute, and above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival, but a tolerable life.” Londrigan said civil rights and workers’ rights are under assault “in our commonwealth and country, and I know that those here this evening will not relent in our quest for living wages, health care for all, criminal justice reform, voting rights, retirement security, quality education, tax reform, racial and gender equality and ending homelessness, violence and poverty." He added, “Dr. King said ‘this is no time for apathy and complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action.’ The fight goes on; our struggle will never end.” Before becoming state AFL-CIO president, Londrigan was secretary-treasurer-business manager of the Greater Louisville Building and Construction Trades Council and a delegate to the Greater Louisville Central Labor Council. He is a member of Louisville Elevator Constructors Local 20. Londrigan, who lives near Frankfort, was introduced by State AFL-CIO Recording Secretary Edna Ford and Cylister Williams, president of the Louisville branch of the A. Philip Randolph Institute. Williams called Londrigan, “my brother, your friend and one of God’s children.” "I have known Bill Londrigan since we both were delegates to the Greater Louisville Central Labor Council in the early 1990s," said Grupper, a veteran civil rights and labor activist. "He is very dedicated to rebuilding the labor movement in Kentucky and is diligent in trying to cohere our forces in Kentucky. What Bill is doing in Kentucky is a microcosm of the work that needs to be done nationally toward returning the labor movement to a position of strength." In addition to Londrigan, Dr. Kevin Cosby, president of Louisville’s Simmons College of Kentucky, earned a Braden Award. Others received honors at the banquet held Friday night at the Hotel Louisville downtown. They included Shively mayor-elect Beverly Chester-Burton, the first African American to hold the post. The keynote speaker was John J. Johnson, Kentucky Human Rights Commission executive director. “The Alliance has been a voice for the voiceless,” he said. “Over the years, you have reached out to the underserved, the downtrodden, the dispossessed, the left out, locked out men, women and children in this city and state, and we thank you.” Johnson told the crowd he wished he “could say ‘job well done, and now rest.’” But he said he couldn't because President Donald Trump’s “cruel and crude actions and negative statements have brought racial hatred out of the shadows, out of the woodwork, from under the carpet. “We always knew it lay just below the surface. Racist hate rhetoric has become the new normal. The president is creating an atmosphere that allows that to happen." Trump, according to Johnson, keeps talking “about going back to a previous time in American history with his ‘Make America Great Again’ rhetoric but I’m not sure that America was really all that great.” Johnson meant Jim Crow America when segregation and race discrimination were the law in the South and in border states like Kentucky and the social order almost everywhere else. “We as a people are still struggling with the lingering effects of the past periods of American history that some want to bring us back to.” He cited voter suppression laws and gerrymandering designed to marginalize and weaken the power of minorities at the ballot box. Johnson said that while African Americans comprise 8.3 percent of Kentucky’s population, 31 percent of men and women behind bars are black. He said that 72 percent of white Kentucky families own their homes, but only 38 percent of black Kentuckians do. The state poverty rate is 17 percent for whites and 30 percent for African Americans; more than 47 percent of black children live in poverty, according to Johnson. “Rather than seeking to bridge the gap on justice and equality with racial harmony and understanding, [Trump's]...slogan intensifies the problems, resulting in a rise in discriminatory policies that threaten the civil rights advancements won by generations of civil rights advocates” such as the Bradens, he said. “Today, we are in fact in a fight for America’s character and its soul,” Johnson added.

Carl Braden, along with his wife Anne Braden, was a tireless warrior in the battles fought by all these groups, believing deeply that the struggle to subvert racism had to be central to any progressive social change. Carl was convinced that as a white American he bore a special responsibility to oppose white supremacy and racial hierarchy. This conviction carried Carl and Anne, over the course of decades, into a wide range of work. In addition to helping groups that met at the center, the Bradens notably marshaled support for labor unions, produced informative and critical publications, and organized defiant demonstrations. Through it all, Carl and Anne consistently helped to bridge the racial divide in Louisville, mentoring generations of anti-racist youth. The building that currently houses the Braden Center was donated in order to sustain Carl and Anne’s work of promoting justice in Louisville and the world at large. When Carl died in 1975, Anne named the center in his memory. In the wake of Anne’s death in 2006, the Boards of Directors of the Carl Braden Memorial Center and the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression have committed themselves to sustaining the Braden legacy by insuring that the center will be around for many years to come, serving community groups, progressive organizations, and youth fighting for change here and abroad.[1] Board As of 2014 the board of the Carl Braden Memorial Center included;[2] Bill Allison Katie Allison Walter “Skip” Bedford Eboni Cochran Bob Cunningham Cate Fosl Jessica George J.

Over 50 years, Anne worked for justice for all. She was known throughout the South and was a noted figure in Louisville. With her husband Carl, they purchased and sold on the "Wade House" to the African-American Wade family, who were simply seeking a home in south-western Louisville, outside of the "red lined" West End of Louisville. The home was dynamited within weeks. The Branden's were arrested for sedition and Carl was convicted and imprisoned for over a year before the Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the grounds that sedition was a federal issue, not one for the state of Kentucky to be involved in. Carl died in 1975. Anne continued her work until she passed in 2006. Turns out that Angela Davis has some history with UofL, having been a visiting scholar in the early 2000's. She returns to deliver the 10th Anne Braden Memorial Lecture. The venue is a larger hall in one of the several stadiums on the UofL campus. Even so, the turn out is HUGE and even with people standing in the back, late comers had to be turned away! And the crowd was a mix of older and younger, of color and white, even children brought by parents to hear a voice from history that is still speaking out for justice. Light levels and the distance I ended up standing from the podium result in some softness in these photos. The interior images were taken using ISO 6400. I only use this high an ISO on this camera when I have no choice. Most images are at a focal length near the 300mm maximum of my long zoom, equivalent to 450mm on a 35mm sensor/film. Shutter speeds are around 1/50 second. This totally violates the normal rule of thumb for shutter speed versus focal length. However the lens has stabilization and I leaned against a wall as much as possible.

Anne and Carl Braden are probably best known for their efforts to bring fair housing to Louisville in the 1950s, with their purchase of a home in an all white neighborhood with the intent to transfer the title to Andrew Wade, an African American Korean War veteran. But the Bradens' commitment to racial, social, political, and economic equality went far beyond equal housing. Anne McCarty was a native Southerner. Born in Louisville in 1924, and raised in Alabama, she graduated from Randolph-Macon Women’s College in Virginia and embarked on a journalism career. She met Carl Braden in Louisville while she worked for the "Louisville Times" and they married in 1948. The couple was of like mind when it came to politics, especially with issues related to race. The Bradens campaigned for the Progressive Party in 1948, and worked with a number of organizations for social and economic equality during the 1950s. The Bradens edited the newsletter for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF) titled the "Southern Patriot." The SCEF was committed to racial desegregation through direct action. Anne Braden was friends with many of the Civil Rights Movement’s primary figures. She was named in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Dr. King wrote, "I am thankful, however, that some of our white brothers in the South have grasped the meaning of this social revolution and committed themselves to it. They are still too few in quantity, but they are big in quality. Some–such as Ralph McGill, Lillian Smith, Harry Golden, James McBride Dabbs, Ann Braden and Sarah Patton Boyle–have written about our struggle in eloquent and prophetic terms. Others have marched with us down nameless streets of the South." The Bradens' home in Louisville was visited by many Civil Rights activists, including Rosa Parks, Dr. King, and Angela Davis. It also served as a place of welcome to members of civil rights groups such as the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). After Carl died in 1975, Anne continued to be active in civil rights efforts. She taught civil rights history at the University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University, and, in 1990, received the Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty, awarded by the American Civil Liberties Union for lifetime achievements. Anne Braden died in 2006, but her achievements and legacy as an active advocate for racial equality live on. The marker reads: HOME OF ANNE & CARL BRADEN 4403 Virginia was longtime home of Anne and Carl Braden, early white allies of the southern civil rights movement. Segregationists marched here in 1954 after the couple helped an African American family desegregate a local suburb. Though they became controversial figures, the Bradens then fought to keep this area multiracial. CIVIL RIGHTS LANDMARK In the 1960s this home became a waystation for national reformers such as Rosa Parks, Angela Davis & Rev. M. L. King Jr. It was also a meeting place for young activists who led sit-ins. After Carl’s death in 1975, Anne continued organizing for racial justice, peace & workers’ rights until her death in 2006.

Carl and Anne met while working for the Louisville (KY) Times and married in 1948. They began working together to fight racial and social injustice, causes they dedicated their lives to. After writing for several newspapers in Kentucky, Carl and Anne were eventually blacklisted from employment due to their activism. They began working as field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF) and published a monthly newspaper for the organization, The Southern Patriot. In 1958, Anne published The Wall Between, a memoir of race relations in the U.S. south. The story was based on the Bradens' experience helping an African-American family purchase a home in the height of Jim Crow housing practices for which Carl was convicted with sedition. Anne's book received high praise from civil rights leaders and was a runner-up for the National Book Award. Carl and Anne had three children: James (b. 1951); Anita (b. 1953); and Elizabeth (b. 1960). Following Carl's death in 1975, Anne continued her activism and taught civil rights history at the University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University. In 1990, she received the Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty. Anne Braden died on March 6, 2006 in Louisville, Kentucky.

From the 1940s to the end of their lives, this white couple worked with African American leaders and community members to support civil rights campaigns that challenged various forms of racial injustice. The couple faced numerous hardships, including imprisonment, but they also secured the support and trust of civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. Throughout the civil rights movement, the Bradens received violent threats and were accused of being communists during the Cold War era. Today, the home includes a historical marker that commemorates their lives and the Anne Braden is honored as the namesake of the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research.	en	/_next/static/images/clio-logo-background-small-451d24efda1e099e31bcf2230362805a.jpg	Clio	https://theclio.com/entry/45990	Anne Braden was born in Louisville and grew up in Alabama. She earned a degree from Randolph-Macon Women's College located in Virginia where she was inspired to work with the press, leading to her employment with the "Louisville Times." During her time with the paper, she met Carl and became his wife in 1948. The newlyweds devoted an increasing share of their time to promoting equality and civil rights for African Americans. For example, they worked with the 1948 Progressive Party and were active in several other civil rights groups who fought to end segregation. They also supported the Southern Conference Educational Fund for whom they wrote the bulletin called the "Southern Patriot." The SCEF tried to use New Deal policies to reduce poverty and end political disfranchisement in the South during the 1940s and 1950s. In the late 1950s, SCEF promoted education and challenged segregation, leading the Bradens and others to work closely with organizations like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960s. SCEF members were passionate about integration and inspired by the work of SNCC activists who launched direct action campaigns. Anne and Carl Braden risked their livelihoods and lives when they assisted African American families in purchasing homes outside of segregated neighborhoods. In 1954, for example, the Bradens helped Andrew Wade and his family purchase a home in an all-white Louisville suburb. The Bradens bought the home and then switched the title to Mr. Wade. After the Wade family moved in, the home was bombed by their white neighbors. Because of the help they gave the Wades, the Bradens were falsely charged with the bombing. Similar to other liberal supporters of civil rights, the Bradens were accused of being supporters of communism. Such an accusation was difficult to prove or disprove and could lead to serious repercussions in Cold War America. During the early 1950s, these kinds of vague accusations were common for those who tried to change the status quo and sway political opinion on civil rights. Although the charges against the Bradens for bombing the home they had purchased were eventually dropped, the couple faced backlash and threats from white residents for decades. While the Bradens found little support among white residents, their house became a meeting place for organizations like the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the NAACP. Prominent figures such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Angela Davis also visited the Braden’s home during the 1950s and 1960s.

Circa 2014, his son Jack Lubka was in medical school in Havana, Cuba.[2] Family Lewis Lubka was married three times He had no children with Thelma Bun. With Nancy Cash, he had four children — sons Willie Lubka, Reuben Lubka and Henry Carlos Lubka , and daughter Lorraine Lubka. He had one child, a son Jack Lubka, with Rhonda Loberg.[3] Life of activism There was hardly a demonstration in Fargo, ND where you wouldn’t see Lewis Lubka. In fact, Mark Froemke of The Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers Union told People’s World, “If Lew wasn’t there, the first question you’d ask was ‘Where’s Lew’?” Long-time activist and Fargo resident Lewis Lubka died, January 2017 at the age of 90. Lew Lubka was born on July 14, 1926 in the Bronx and was a graduate of Stuyvesant High School in New York. Called “Red Lew” by his friends because of his lifelong membership in the Communist Party USA, Lew served as an Army paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II. In civilian life, Lew obtained a bachelor’s degree in forestry at Syracuse University and earned his master’s degree in urban housing from Georgia Tech. Friend Dean Hulse described Lubka in an open letter as having an “unvarnished style” and “limitless curiosity.” “As our friendship developed, Lew taught me many things about living and about myself. For instance, he taught me to relish diversity, and likewise, rejoice in common bonds,” wrote Hulse. Lew was intimately involved with the struggle of the Wade family in Louisville, KY for fair housing. After Anne Braden and Carl Braden purchased a home for the African American family in white area of Louisville in 1954, the Wades faced targeted attacks and vandalism by white supremacists. Lew was one of the white activists who acted as an armed guard at the home. “I was in the back kitchen with a gun. And when we were shot at, we shot back. I was working days and helping guard the house at nights,” said Lubka in the documentary Anne Braden: Southern Patriot. Lubka was there when dynamite placed by white supremacists went off under the room of the Wades’ young daughter Rosemary’s room. No one was hurt in the attack. As a result of his civil rights activities and his membership in the Communist Party, state prosecutors determined that the bombing was a part of a communist plot to incite racial division. Lew and four others were indicted for “criminal syndicalism and sedition” against the governments of the United States and the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Lew Lubka was eventually acquitted. Lubka was one of the founders of the North Dakota Peace Council, which he helped win a nuclear freeze referendum in North Dakota in 1982. Years later, the North Dakota Peace Council would honor him with an award for his distinguished service. Lewis Lubka dedicated his life to progressive causes including the anti-war movement, the struggle for equal rights during the civil rights movement, and environmental protection. He was also a member of the Red River Freethinkers, a secular group that fought against the display of the Ten Commandments in public space. He hosted a popular radio show called Peace Talk Radio on KNDS 96.3 FM in Fargo after his retirement from North Dakota State University where he taught urban and regional planning. Lois Chikwinya, a former student of Lubka and friend for over 40 years, said that Lubka was a friend to all students, particularly the international students. “He would travel to visit students across the world, he traveled to see me in South Africa. He was very much involved with anti-apartheid struggles,” said Chikwinya, “Lew never saw the color, he always saw the person. He helped all students achieve their goals.[4] Wade Defense Committee In 1954 , a week before the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Anne Braden and Carl Braden bought a house in an all-white neighborhood for a black couple, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, who were unable to purchase it due to racial restrictions in real estate. This act resulted in mob violence against the Wades and bombing of the house. Anne recounts: The Prosecuting Attorney said there were two theories. One was that the house was bombed by the neighbors to get rid of the Wades. The other was that this was all a communist plot to foment race hatred in order to overthrow the government of the state of Kentucky. Lew Lubka, a member of the Wade Defense Committee, recalls being pulled before the Grand Jury and asked, out of the blue, "Were you ever or are you now a member of the Communist Party?"[5] WEB DuBois Clubs of America In 2013, Lewis Lubka was listed a a friend on the DuBois Clubs Facebook page.[6] New American Movement In the late 1970's Lewis Lubka was a Fargo Moorhead , North Dakota, contact for the New American Movement.[7] Cuba Lubka visited Cuba in 1979 and 1980[8] Hands off Venezuela! In May 2005 Hands off Venezuela! circulated an internet petition: "from American trade unionists and workers to the appeal to the U.S. government to stay out of Venezuela." Lewis Lubka, retired college professor, member of the North Dakota Higher Education Association, and retired member of the NEA endorsed the petition.[9] Communist Party USA In September 2006 the Peoples Weekly Worldlisted several members, or supporters of the Communist Party USA.[10] Aaron Moss, Alan Donohue, Andre Brochu, Annie Fox, Barbara Samuelson, Barbara Collins, Barry Weinstein, Carol Sorflaten, C.T. Weber, Delmer Berg, Dorothy Kohl, Doug Smiley, Earl Harju, Emile Schepers, Everett Hoagland, Fay Bussell, Gregory King, Jack Bussell, James Thompson, Jerome Moss, Joe Bernick, John Falchi, John Smith, June Dennis, Karl Dennis , Karl Sorg, Karl Weichinger, Lee Dlugin, Lewis Lubka, Mark Jordan, Michele Artt, Pat Barile, Raymond Tate and Robert Jastad Supporting Obama From the Communist Party USA's Political Affairs February 6, 2008;[11] States along the northern edge of the country and in the plains, like Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota, Alaska, Utah, and Idaho with few voters of color and with large participation by women, fell easily to Obama. Lew Lubka, a North Dakota caucus participant described the scene in his precinct as exuberant for Obama with more participation than in the last caucus. According to Lubka, "The key feeling that I was able to sense from the conversations was the folks wanted change. Enough of the horror of the past two terms. New directions, new blood, new politics. Maybe even peace." Lubka wrote on the PA Editor's Blog February 6 2008;[12] I was at the Fargo, ND Democratic NPL caucus tonight. About 500 more voted in the caucus this year then the last caucus four years ago. Obama outdid Hilary by about 500 votes... The key feeling that I was able to sense from the conversations was the folks wanted CHANGE!! Enough of the horror of the past two terms. New directions, new blood, new politics. Maybe even PEACE!! Fasting against “Star Wars” In 2008, Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space promoted a June 22 “Global day of fasting to Stop Star Wars”. The global day of fasting to Stop Star Wars on June 22 is one important way for the public to become involved in this debate. All over the world the U.S. is dragging the "allies" into Star Wars and active resistance to the insanity of an arms race in space is growing. Included on the “fast’ list was Lewis Lubka of Fargo, North Dakota.[13]

He worked for the Louisville Herald-Post, The Cincinnati Enquirer (1937–1945), The Louisville Times, and The Courier-Journal (1950–1954).[1] He also wrote for other news services including The Harlan Daily Enterprise, the Knoxville Journal, the New York Daily News, the Chicago Tribune, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Newsweek, and the Federated Press. In 1948, while working as a reporter in Kentucky, he met and married fellow journalist Anne Gambrell McCarty.[2] The Bradens had three children. James, born September 15, 1951, who as of 2020, had lived and practiced law for over 35 years in San Francisco, California, and was a 1972 Rhodes Scholar at New College of University of Oxford and 1980 graduate of Harvard Law School, where he preceded Barack Obama as editor of the Harvard Law Review.[3][4] Anita, born in 1953, died of a pulmonary disorder at the age of 11. Elizabeth, born in 1960, has worked as a teacher in many countries around the world, serving as of 2006 in that capacity in rural Ethiopia.[citation needed] The Bradens dedicated their lives to impelling whites into the cause of justice for all people, and especially fought racism.[5] After Carl's death, Anne Braden remained active in networks of anti-racist work. While raising their children, Carl and his wife Anne Braden remained deeply involved in the civil rights cause and the subsequent social movements it prompted from the 1960s to the 1970s, because of this they were frequent targets for attacks from southern white supremacists. Early activism [edit] In 1948, Carl Braden along with his wife Anne involved themselves in Henry Wallace's run on the Progressive Party for the presidency. Soon after Wallace's defeat, they left mainstream journalism to apply their talent as writers to the interracial left wing of the labor movement through the FE (Farm and Equipment Workers) Union, representing Louisville's International Harvester employees.[6] The Wade incident of 1954 [edit] In 1954, directly confronting the practice of rigid racial segregation of residential neighborhoods, the Bradens assisted an African-American couple, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, who wanted to buy a suburban home but had been unable to do so due to housing discrimination. The Bradens purchased a house on behalf of the Wades in Shively, an all-white neighborhood in the Louisville metropolitan area, and deeded it over to the Wade family. White segregationists immediately lashed out – initially by throwing rocks through the windows of the house, burning a cross in front of it, and firing gunshots into the home – and then bombed the house (setting off explosives under the bedroom of the Wades' young daughter while the home was occupied), driving the Wades out and destroying the home. As a result of their actions, Carl Braden was charged with sedition. Although housing discrimination was illegal, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling specifically on a case in Louisville, Buchanan v. Warley, in 1917, charges were brought against Braden for hatching a communist plot to stir up a race war. A friend of the Wades was also charged with bombing the house to make it appear to have been done by others. No charges were filed regarding the other incidents.[1] Braden denied the accusations that his purchase of the house and its subsequent bombing were all part of a "communist plot", and denied that he had ever been a member of the Communist Party.[1] He was convicted on December 13, 1954, and was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Immediately upon his conviction, he was fired from the Courier-Journal, and he served seven months of his sentence before he was released on a $40,000 bond pending appeal – the highest bond ever set in Kentucky up to that time.[1][2] His conviction was then overturned.[2][7] Carl's wife, Anne, carefully chronicled the ordeal and used it as the basis for her book The Wall Between, published in 1958. 1961 U.S. Supreme Court case [edit] When compelled to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), Braden refused to answer questions posed to him, saying the questions were not relevant to the mandate of the committee and violated his First Amendment rights. The case was heard before the Supreme Court of the United States as Braden v. United States, 365 U.S. 431 (1961). The court ruled against Braden, saying his conviction was constitutional. Braden was sentenced to a year in prison, and a drive for clemency in his case was led by Martin Luther King Jr. He was released after serving nine months of the sentence.[2] Later activism [edit] In 1967, the Bradens were again charged with sedition for protesting the practice of strip-mining in Pike County, Kentucky. They used this case to test the Kentucky sedition law, which was ruled unconstitutional in federal court.[2] The Bradens were blacklisted from local employment in Kentucky. They took jobs as field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), developing their own media attention through SCEF's monthly newspaper, The Southern Patriot, and through numerous pamphlets and press releases publicizing major civil-rights campaigns. The Bradens were acclaimed by young student activists of the 1960s and among the Civil Rights Movement's most dedicated white allies. The Southern Christian Leadership Conference hosted a reception honoring Frank Wilkinson and Carl Braden on April 30, 1961, the day before they went to jail for defying the House Un-American Activities Committee. Martin Luther King Jr. and James Dombrowski were present at this reception honoring Wilkinson and Braden. Death [edit] Carl Braden died suddenly of a heart attack on February 18, 1975, and is buried in Eminence Cemetery in Henry County, Eminence, Kentucky.

Scotty served his savior at both First Baptist Church in Belfry, KY and West End Baptist Church in Big Stone Gap, VA. He was a loving father, papaw, uncle and friend. He was an avid fisherman who enjoyed teaching his grandchildren about the hobby he loved. He made many fishing trips with friends Dave King and Steve Mullins and loved to tell big tales when reminiscing about these trips.He had other special friends, including Gary Layne, Lloyd Carroll and Terry Maynard who meant a great deal to him. Scotty never met a stranger and was kind to everyone he knew. He was a great neighbor and friend, taking care of many that lived on his block. Some of his most special neighbors were Rudolph and Pauline Layne. Another of his hobbies included woodworking. He was very good at this and loved making things for people. His children’s homes are full of his creations. He loved the game of basketball and could always be found in the stands cheering for his children and grandchildren as well as doing his best refereeing from the stands with his buddy, Robbie Sturgill. You knew he was in the gym because he would always be yelling for a player to make a bounce pass or he would be correcting a referee on the call that he just made. And don’t forget no one ever meant to foul. The Kentucky Wildcats were his favorite team. He raised his children to bleed blue. But nothing ever topped the love he had for his grandchildren’s teams and how supportive he was of them. He loved Fox News, fudge rounds, and diet Coke on ice. And no one could scout out a better hotdog than he could. One of his favorite pastimes was to visit Dairy Queen for breakfast and have conversations about politics with his friends that gathered there each morning. He loved his family more than anything and would do anything for them. He was a great man, and an even better father and grandfather.

Anne Braden is an essential figure in the history of White antiracism. In our interview, Cate discusses what drew her to Anne’s story, and what it was like to work with Anne. Cate also discusses her personal journey into antiracism as a White person raised in the civil rights-era South, and why she personally values White antiracist history and sees it as a useful tool in the service of racial justice. She closes by talking about her recent and forthcoming work. This interview is part of the White Antiracist Ancestry Project, which seeks to lift up the lessons from White antiracist history, in order to support White antiracist efforts today. You can support and receive updates about the project here. Lynn Burnett: Can you tell us how you came to embrace racial justice yourself, as a White person? Cate Fosl: Well, I would root it in three main things. One is the fact that I grew up during school desegregation, in rural Georgia. Through that experience, I almost immediately rejected all that I had been told about racial hierarchy, which was very much from a White supremacist viewpoint, which was how my family was. I was raised by my grandparents, so I was really two generations ahead. Once I encountered Black students in my classroom… that was the beginning for me. It’s not like I became a civil rights crusader. I was in seventh grade. I never even spoke to the young Black girl that was in my class that year. But I was awed by her, and her courage. And it really set me apart from my family, on that issue. And ultimately a lot of other issues. So that was sort of the first step, or the first thing. I had bought into White supremacy, hook line and sinker, prior to that as a young child. It’s true that I saw civil rights demonstrations, on TV. I could never understand why my grandfather just hated Martin Luther King, so badly. But I didn’t engage the thinking [of the civil rights movement] deeply, until that year in seventh grade. And once I did, I broke with so much of what I’d been taught. I became a “White liberal,” in a vague sense, at that time. The second piece of it, based on my own experiences as a young White girl… during and after college, I became a feminist. By then it was the 80s. White feminism, of course, was laced with racism, but I wasn’t alert to that at that time. But I met Black feminists who really inspired me. That was before intersectionality had been written about, but I was brought closer to the issue of racism, through my work as a feminist… and also as an anti-war feminist. So that avenue, in the early 80s, was how I heard about women like Anne Braden, for instance. I became really enamored, through that same kind of thinking, with oral history, and I began to interview a lot of activists. White and Black, and not about racial justice in particular, but it often came up. By now it was the late 80s, and I was beginning to see a lot of sexism in the books that were coming out about social movement history. Like there were all these biographies about Dr. King, for example, but none of Ella Baker, none of Rosa Parks. I started writing as a journalist… I wasn’t trained as an historian. But I saw that women had been so important in the Black Freedom Movement in the 50s and 60s, and their stories weren’t being told. So I got the idea to write such a story myself. And this is how I got connected to Anne Braden. And I would have to say that that connection is the third moment, and really the catalyst, of what gave me the consciousness that I have today… that was through Anne Braden, and my own work looking into the history of racism through her life, and more broadly as well. I knew very little, for instance, about the history of lynching. And when I began to examine that history, it really altered and expanded my consciousness. And, I would have to say… I’m White, and I still have a lot of lessons to learn, and I learn those lessons all the time. I don’t want to make it seem like I’m so evolved. Just in terms of something as basic as microaggressions, I have had big insights into that just in the past few years. Lynn: At the time that you met Anne Braden — I just want to clarify — had you already started to take a deep dive into history, or were you primarily a journalist who was interested in interviewing people who had been in the freedom struggle? Cate: I wrote my first book — it’s called Women for All Seasons: The Story of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom — and it was half narrative history, and half oral history. It was a history of an organization that I had worked with… an old organization, founded in 1915 by Jane Addams and many others. So I was a journalist, but I was delving more into history. I had really hated history, honestly, as a kid. Because in those same rural high schools that I went to, the history teachers were always the coaches. And they were really bad… I never had a good history teacher in Georgia public schools. It was only later that I began to understand history in a broader fashion. When I began the work on Anne Braden… I didn’t have a degree in history, and I wasn’t planning on getting a degree in history. But once I began the work on Anne Braden — which I did initially see more superficially, as an oral history project — I just began reading a lot of things. Like I mentioned the history of lynching… I just couldn’t get enough; I was absorbing so many lessons of U.S. history that I had never heard a thing about. And I just decided that I wanted to know more history. I had made up my mind to get a PhD, but I was initially going to get it in sociology. I was offered a fellowship at UNC in sociology. When I visited there, it was through Jacquelyn Hall — who I think of as a White antiracist historian, and who has been a major mentor for me — that I began to consider history. They wanted her to meet me, because we both did oral history, and she looked at my CV and said, “Why aren’t you applying for history?” I literally had never thought about it until that moment. When I started to think about it… I was living in Atlanta, which was my home, originally. Anne Braden told me about Robin Kelley. He had just taken a job at Emory, in Atlanta. And we met, and we became friends, just informally… and he really mentored me into applying for the history department at Emory. I wouldn’t have had the courage to do it… I was a product of Georgia public schools! I was the first person in my family to get a college degree. I couldn’t imagine myself at an elite school like Emory. But Robin really encouraged me, and it was exciting to think about studying with him. But then he got hired away before I even started the program… he was on a superstar trajectory! But he was instrumental in encouraging me to apply, and encouraging them to fund me. Lynn: What years were these? Had he already written Hammer and Hoe? Cate: (Smiling): It had just come out. I started Emory in the fall of 1990. Lynn: Can you say more about your connection to Robin Kelley, and how he influenced you? Cate: He’s just a fabulous human being. And he’s probably the most brilliant person I’ve ever known well. He has this warmth, this depth of perception, that’s just not common… [laughing] certainly not in academics, let’s say that! I was blown away by his history of the Alabama Communist Party [in Hammer and Hoe]… it changed my understanding of what kinds of histories could be written. Lynn: What was it like to meet Anne Braden for the first time? What was your original connection like? Cate: Well, I talk about that in my introduction to my biography of her [Subversive Southerner]. I heard her speak at the first major demonstration I ever went to in my life, when I had just finished college. That was in early 1980. It was a massive protest, against the murders of the members of the Communist Workers Party in Greensboro, North Carolina. There were thousands of people… I could never see the stage; it was that big. But they set up loudspeakers all around the area, so you could hear the speakers. And when I heard that voice… I had never heard of Anne Braden at that time. But her voice was this ringing, White southern woman, and it was so rousing, it was so inspiring. I was impressed, with a magnitude that I hadn’t been with any other speaker. And so she stayed in my memory that way. I met her — as I mentioned, my first book was about the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom — and Anne was a member. She did an antiracist workshop at a conference in 1985, in North Carolina that I went to. I was in a small group workshop with her. I couldn’t say that I got to know her there… but she made a big impression on me, again. As I had mentioned, I had noticed that there was such a lack of writing about women in the Black Freedom Movement. At that time I was in D.C., and was thinking about writing another book. I started going to the Howard University African American studies reading room, which was such a wonderful, rarified place to spend time. I was reading a lot of first-person accounts of people who had been active in the movement, and I ran across her book, The Wall Between, which tells the Louisville story. I had no idea about the Wade house purchase, the sedition case… and my mom and grandmother come from Louisville! I was born the year after all that happened. We went to Louisville every summer when I was growing up. But I had never heard about it! I had been in that same Louisville where she dwelled, but I never knew those stories. It felt like another layer of the underside of history to me. I was so gripped by that book; I just kept thinking about it. And I just wrote to her, and said, “I would like to work with you on a book about your life.” I had credentials… movement credentials meant something to Anne. They meant a lot. And I had written that book about the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, and was very close to that network of women. I think if I had just been a trained historian, or a professor, she may have been less open to it. We met for the first time in Atlanta… she was coming to a conference on women in the civil rights movement which I went to as well. We met at the reflecting pool at the Martin Luther King memorial in Atlanta, and we talked and decided to do it. Lynn: So as you’re progressing with your interviews with her, and you’re putting together your book Subversive Southerner… what was that journey like, as you were getting to know her personally? How did that relationship influence you, and impact your own thinking? Cate: Well, it was certainly one of the most significant relationships of my life. The relationship began with the interviews but it didn’t end that way… we became much closer friends after the book was written. It was a rocky relationship at the beginning, because she had been very misrepresented in print, and she was suspicious of anyone wanting to write about her. She was also very humble, and she didn’t want to be bothered. Anne was a workaholic, and she never stopped. So I began to be a bother to her. Initially we were going to make this book together, but finally she just let me write it as a biography because she just wasn’t going to give time to it. All these interviews that I did with her… I was catching her here and there, I was pestering her! [Laughing]: One thing my family can tell you… I can be a terrible pest! When I want something, I’m not going to give up. So I was pestering her quite a lot, and she was getting very annoyed. But, she never entirely blew me off either. Luckily for me, there were a lot of other oral histories with her out there. But our relationship deepened. She eventually became resigned, and finally even pleased, with the prospect of the book. She would invite me to come to things where she was going to speak, or receive an award… she wanted to give me that level of access. So we became closer friends. But, I could never have finished that book before moving to Louisville. It was too episodic. I just did not have good access to her until then. I kept moving closer and closer… like I was in Atlanta, then I was in Virginia, then I was in Lexington, then finally in Louisville. Lynn: So there’s a point in your relationship, where you feel like you’re pestering her… and then you became closer, after the book. Cate: I mean, we became closer in the journey towards the book being published. But after, our relationship was free of that tension we had, with me pursuing her. I had been pursuing her for years. After the book came out, we did a lot of joint talks, and she always used to say [laughing]: “I like that book. If only it weren’t about me!” Lynn: What did she end up thinking about the book, once it was published? I know she was humble, and hesitant to have something written about her. But once it was all said and done, how did she feel about it? Cate: Well, at the time there weren’t really any other books out there that talked about the connection between that fierce anti-communism, and the silencing effect it had on the freedom movement. I think it’s fair to say that she really liked it, on that basis… even if she felt embarrassed to have a biography. Lynn: What’s your connection with Anne Braden like after the publication, when you didn’t have to worry about hassling her for interviews and that kind of thing? Cate: Well, we became very close. We travelled together, doing talks about the book. As I had mentioned before we started this interview, she loved the theatre… but she didn’t allow herself to have a lot of personal pleasures. But she really wanted to see Naomi Wallace’s play, on the Alabama Communist Party, so I took her to Pittsburgh to see that play, along with my son Isaac, a teenager at the time who was seriously into theatre. [Isaac went on to work with a group called Squallis Puppeteers, which has developed an Anne Braden puppet show that people can bring to their local schools!] So we were friends. She was getting forgetful later in her life… when she couldn’t remember details of her own life, she would just call me to get the details! [Laughing]. When she gave me an autographed copy of her book The Wall Between when it was re-released, she wrote, “To Cate, who knows me better than I know myself.” Which of course was a little tongue in cheek! Lynn: [Smiling.] That’s very sweet. Thinking more about the legacy of Anne Braden, what do you feel her life and her legacy has to teach us today, and especially White people who are striving for racial justice today? Cate: I’ve said this in every forum I’ve been invited to say it in: the central message is, how entirely central White supremacy is to the United States. Our history, and our present. And: how fully the battle against racism is White people’s responsibility. Lynn: When we think of Anne Braden as an organizer, are there key lessons from her life as an organizer, especially in terms of — as you just said, it’s our responsibility, it’s White people’s responsibility — are there key organizing lessons that you would lift up, in terms of how to mobilize White people for racial justice? Cate: Well, she had an approach of using every platform that she was attacked in, as a platform to fight back. And she was attacked a lot in her lifetime, as an activist. And she turned those circumstances around, to give more publicity to her point of view, and to the struggle itself. So that’s one thing. That’s a pretty generic lesson, but a powerful one. The other thing that she used very effectively was the power of the printed word. She got the word out. She had no problem with using journalism as propaganda… not that she would change the facts, but she wasn’t hesitant to put an interpretation on those facts. She also felt very firmly that Whites shouldn’t wait to act, and especially shouldn’t wait to take concrete actions at the local level… she believed very strongly in that. And, they needed to work with and follow Black leadership, so they weren’t going off kind of half-cocked. Lynn: For people who are reading this interview, and might not be so familiar with why it’s so important for White people to be organizing other White people… How would Anne Braden describe the importance of that? What’s your own thinking about that? If you were to talk to a general White audience, how would you help them understand that it’s White people’s responsibility [to end racism], and that so much of that responsibility is about organizing other White people? Cate: The lessons of U.S. history suggest that, pragmatically speaking, you need White people to be on board. Then there’s the moral lesson: that White people have benefitted from the systematic disadvantaging of Black people and people of color, and therefore it’s our responsibility to correct that inequity. That I think is the most powerful argument, and it’s certainly one that carried a lot of weight with Anne, and that you felt in her manner of speaking and in the kind of person she was. Because she was a person of faith, too, and that was how she understood Christian faith. It’s not the way it’s understood by the large number of charismatic Christian churches today. She had a real belief in the social gospel message that we owe a debt to our brothers and sisters. All of them. Lynn: Transitioning away from Anne Braden, I want to get to a more general question about White antiracist history. Of course you’re steeped in the legacy of Anne and Carl Braden. Did you find yourself drawn as well to the more general history of White antiracism? Cate: Well, it is certainly the case that when I first set out — when I first got interested in the Braden’s — it was to find a White southern past that I would not be ashamed of. I felt true shame about a lot of what I saw of the White South growing up. I don’t identify myself specifically as a historian of White antiracism. And yet, I have sought out and researched an awful lot of White antiracists in U.S. history, far more than I had any inkling could have existed. I think that has an emotional resonance for me because I am White, and I come from the South, and maybe even more so because much of my family was on the way wrong side of history. Lynn: I want to see if I’m understanding this right. There was a part of you that — even though you don’t identify specifically as a historian of White antiracist history — gravitated towards that history… it sounds almost as if there was something healing about that history, personally? Cate: That’s correct. That was certainly the genesis of it. And I find it meaningful to uncover more layers of White antiracist history, and quite honestly to share. Not just to research, but to share those stories, especially with a lot of people, White and others, who didn’t know it. When Dr. King first met Anne Braden, at Highlander, he told his wife Coretta that he could not believe such a White woman existed. Reverend Fred Shuttlesworth, of the Birmingham movement, told me that same thing. Anne — and Carl, to a lesser extent — were exemplars of an approach to justice that many in the civil rights movement were unaware of at the time. I think White antiracist history helps to interrupt our understanding of how so much of U.S. history is still taught — and maybe ultimately to transform it. Lynn: So the genesis of your interest in White antiracist history comes from this healing… as you go deeper into it, were there lessons from that history that felt especially important to you, or that influenced you? Cate: This sounds like a basic point, but I do think it’s powerful to see examples of people being willing to stand up and go against the grain, to take a stand, to stand out from the crowd. There’s an irony about that, because individualism is emphasized in a somewhat toxic way, I would say, in American culture. The power of collectivity is deemphasized by this idolatry of individualism. And going against the grain… I mean, that is an individual act, right? But for White people who are just relaxing into white privilege — I’m not talking about wealthy people, but “normal” people, meaning professional and working-class people — who are just living their lives and see race as invisible when it comes to them… I think to become aware of people like the Bradens, Guy and Candie Carawan, Virginia Foster Durr, Frances Pauley… there are so many. The quintessential, and in some ways the hardest sell, is John Brown. But to really delve into those stories… I think opens up many more possible courses of action that your average White person doesn’t really see. It’s not a perfect analogy, and I make this analogy very tentatively and hesitantly, but it’s like how Black children have often been denied big parts of their history… have been encouraged to see themselves only in a passive way, as descendants of enslaved people, in the way their history is represented. Often, in U.S. history classes, the richness, the fullness of Black culture is not examined. When I was growing up, I was never taught that there were also free Black people in the South, for example, during slavery times. I never knew that. All I’m saying is, that if you never see people that show the fuller range of “your people’s” experiences, it gives you a very skewed and limited lens on what’s possible. Lynn: To back up a little bit, you were talking about your first experiences with White antiracist history, and there’s something healing about it, and then you start to feel this drive to share that history. And I feel that you’ve just been describing why. Because it sounds like a source of motivation and inspiration for White people. Cate: It’s very gratifying in fact, when you’re talking to audiences and you see a lightbulb go off, and you can see the change right then and there. Not that they’re going to go out and join the NAACP or whatever, but they just see something they never saw. Anne’s story has given me a tool for doing that, for offering that to people. Lynn: Something that comes up for me when I imagine that lightbulb going off… I imagine that maybe if that lightbulb goes off one time, maybe that isn’t the thing that leads them to the NAACP. But maybe if they encounter it a few times! Cate: Exactly. Lynn: To transition towards the end of the interview, you’re the founding director of the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice, founded back in 2006. Can you share something about the vision for that, and what led you to found that institute? And if there’s any particular memories that you’d like to share. Cate: Well, I do want to say that I was the co-founder, along with our dean, who was J. Blaine Hudson, who was one of the founders of the Pan-African studies program at the University of Louisville. He was the first Black dean of the college of arts and sciences, and was my boss at the time of Anne’s death. Without him, there never would have been such an institute. It would have just been a cool idea… he was the person who was able to make it happen. Blaine Hudson had a background with the Black Student Union, at our university as a young student. He had known the Bradens growing up. He too was mentored by Anne. He really took this project on. With him, and many other supportive faculty members, we were able to set up the Institute. For me there are so many highlights about it. One of the great things was that when Anne was alive, was that her organization which meant so much to her and that she co-led — the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression — had an annual unity dinner. And they still were doing it up through the pandemic, which has put a lot of things on hold. But every year, Anne would tap this enormous number of national contacts that she knew… it was people like Bernice Reagon, or Cornell West… these amazing speakers would come to Louisville to help her raise money for the Kentucky Alliance. We were able to pay people of that magnitude to do the annual Anne Braden lecture in racial justice history, and that was always an exciting experience. Our inaugural lecture was delivered by Julian Bond, who had been the lead publicist in SNCC, and who wrote the foreword for the newer edition of The Wall Between. He had been a very dear friend of Anne’s. We had Barbara Ransby, who was Ella Baker’s biographer, who’s been so important in The Black Radical Congress, in Ella’s Daughters, and in so many other initiatives. Every year, to see the diversity of the crowd, to see that bridge… that’s our mission, to be a bridge between campus and community, between research and action for social and racial justice. To really see the community come into the campus and be welcomed into the campus. It was the kind of diversity that you don’t often see in this very segregated city, and on a campus like ours, which has certain institutional barriers. No annual lecture can cure the divide between campus and community, of course. But it really did become like a town forum. We would often have it on the radio locally. When Robin Kelley did the talk, he worked with a group called Youth Build, which is a community organization that helps young people who have dropped out of high school… the morning after the lecture, Robin went and did a teach-in with them. [Smiling]: We’ve done some very cool things over the years! I could just go on. But another thing I would say is in 2014, when it was the 60th anniversary of the Wade house purchase and the Braden sedition case, we did a major exhibit at the public library with photographs from the case. We were able to get in touch with the Wade family’s grandchildren and nieces and nephews. The family had not wanted to get involved with talking about that case, previously… it was a painful case for that family’s history. But there was a lot of healing around that. One last thing. We authored the first ever statewide report on LGBT Kentuckians’ history. So it wasn’t always and only racial justice. We had a very intersectional approach, but antiracism was always at the center of our projects. So those are just a few of the highlights. We had so many! Lynn: So how does it feel, after directing that for fifteen years, to now have stepped away? Cate: Well, it was bittersweet — of course it was! But I had been thinking about it for two or three years. I’ve seen many instances where things can get stale if you have the same leadership year after year, and I felt that we needed new leadership. We needed to expand. And, for my own self, I really wanted to do more writing. I was able to do some writing… I co-authored a book in the course of that fifteen years, but building the institute limited my writing time a lot, and there are other books I’d still like to write. I felt too like it was time for me to begin stepping away from the University of Louisville altogether, frankly. Lynn: Well, I’m excited to hear more, and I’m sure anyone reading this is excited to hear more about your forthcoming work, now that you’ve stepped away from the directorship. What are the things that you’re excited about doing now, and what are some of the projects that you might be working on? Cate: Well, I can think of three main things. I’m still a faculty fellow with the Braden Institute this year, and I’m charged with developing a page of resources about Anne Braden. The institute has never been an iconic institute, but it did tend to have Anne and Carl Braden at least at the periphery of anything that we did, and that will look different now that the director is not a Braden biographer. So I wanted to be sure and anchor her story in the institute, so that’s what I’m working on right now. The second thing is, I’m working on a book with and about Candie and Guy Carawan. Guy is no longer living, but his widow Candie is. They were longtime southern cultural activists associated with the Highlander Center. Very little known… far lesser known than Anne Braden, but played a significant role, both in the Black Freedom Movement, the folk revival movement, and the Appalachian working people’s movement… so I’m working with her on a book about their life and work. I’m also writing a little auto-fiction… stories drawn generally from my own life and times, but fictionalized. I used to write fiction as a teenager, and I haven’t done it in a long time! So I’m doing more of that again now. Plus, I have a lot of oral histories that I’ve done, with a White South African Communist named Amy Thornton. I hope to pull those together into a book, but the pandemic, and administrative duties with the Braden Institute have kept me away from that longer than I’ve intended. I’m less certain that that will see the light of day, but I hope it will! So those are just a few of the things that I have going on. Lynn: Well, I look forward to diving into all of that once you publish it, and I hope that anyone reading this interview does as well! Thank you for making so much time in your day for this.

Contents [hide] 1Early life 2Art career and style 3Personal life and death 4References Early life[edit]Brenner was born in Lauterecken in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in the Kusel district in Rhineland-Palatinate) to Frederick Brenner. Brenner attended public school from age 6 to 14, where his artistic talent was recognized by his teacher, who requested permission from King Ludwig I for Brenner to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Brenner's father refused consent and trained his son as a glazier. In 1853, Brenner emigrated with his family to the United States where they first lived in New Orleans. The family moved to Louisville, Kentucky in the winter of 1853-54. There, Brenner found work as a glazier, house painter, and sign painter. Art career and style[edit]In 1863, Brenner was commissioned by Louisville Masons to paint panoramic Civil War battle scenes inside their lodge. By 1867, Brenner had a studio located at 103 West Jefferson Street in Louisville. He became a professional painter by 1871, by selling his landscapes of Cherokee Park. In his lifetime, Brenner was considered Kentucky's greatest living artist. He was one of a group of Louisville artists known as "Tonalists", whose muted colors evoked mood. Brenner's works were exhibited at the Louisville Industrial Exposition in 1873 and at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1876. One of his most notable paintings is Falls of the Cumberland River, Whitley County, Kentucky, executed 1881-82. Brenner became a member of the National Academy of Design in 1877 and remained active until 1886. His works are collected throughout the United States, including the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. and the Speed Art Museum in Louisville. Personal life and death[edit]Brenner married Anna Glass in 1864; together they had six children, of whom Carl, Jr. (1865-1929) also became an artist. Brenner died in Louisville on July 22, 1888 and is buried there in St. Louis Cemetery. References[edit]Louisville artist Carl Christian Brenner (1838-1888) is profiled in “Brrr, It’s Cold Outside …” which was posted on February 5, 2013, and can be directly linked at: https://kentuckyonlinearts.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/brrr-its-cold-outside/ Carl’s most iconic paintings are detailed landscapes of his favorite haunts: scenes from what is now Cherokee Park and along River Road in Louisville, Pewee Valley in Oldham County, and the hills just across the river in New Albany, Indiana. His favorite subject was beech trees. Brenner married Anna Glass (1843-1936), daughter of an eminent Louisville violinist, in 1864 and they had six children. Three sons inherited his artistic talent; Edward became an architect and Proctor Knott (named after Carl’s close friend, Kentucky governor James Proctor Knott) studied art before taking holy orders at St. Meinrad Abbey in Indiana. Carolus (1865-1924), who painted this portrait of his father, studied art in Germany and France before settling in Chicago. Several works by Carolus are also in KOAR and the Filson Historical Society has photographs taken by both Carolus and his brother Edward in its special collections. A catalogue of the J.B. Speed Memorial Museum’s 1947 exhibition “Kentucky Paintings by Carl Christian Brenner” can be found at:https://speedweb.speedmuseum.org/pdfs/brenner.pdf Brrr, It’s Cold Outside …Can you imagine painting outdoors during the bitter cold snaps we have endured this year in north-central Kentucky? That is exactly what Louisville artist Carl Christian Brenner did! “The weather never stopped Brenner,” wrote Jean Howerton Cody in a 1979Louisville Courier-Journal column. “He would set up his easel and a folding chair in a portable hut with large glass exposures and paint away in rain or snow.” Brenner loved nature and being outdoors, especially rambling around the forests and fields of his adopted hometown and its vicinity. As Diane Heilenman described in a 1985 Louisville Courier-Journal article, “Wearing his artist’s hat and carrying a staff and a paint box, Brenner was a familiar figure in Louisville parks and Pewee Valley woods.” Brenner’s most iconic paintings are detailed landscapes of his favorite haunts: scenes from what is now Cherokee Park and along River Road in Louisville, Pewee Valley in Oldham County, and the hills just across the river in New Albany, Indiana. His favorite subject was beech trees, as illustrated above. He painted other Kentucky views as well, including the Cumberland Mountains and the Falls of the Cumberland River in Whitley County. At various times Brenner also visited the Southern wetlands and highlands to paint, and traveled West to the Plains states, Colorado, California, Washington, Oregon, and the Rocky Mountains. (Brenner is also known to have occasionally painted portraits and experimented with printmaking and graphic art.) “Brenner’s view of the city’s parks and woods were THE thing in Victorian Louisville,” declared Heilenman. “Louisville author Meliville O. Briney once wrote, ‘If you grew up in Louisville, a Brenner painting on the wall is as much a part of your pleasant childhood as a rose-back sofa in the parlor or the fire of cannel coal that burned in grandma’s grate.’” While his works demonstrate a wide range of styles, including Realism and Romanticism, after 1878 Brenner was considered part of a group of Louisville artists known as Tonalists, who used muted color to evoke mood. Brenner paid special attention to seasonal effects and time of day through his sensitive rendering of natural light and shadows. Carl Christian Brenner was born August 1, 1838 in Lauterecken, Bavaria (Germany), and attended public schools there from age six to fourteen. According to “A Biographical Sketch of Carl Brenner” in The Biographical Encyclopaedia of Kentucky of the Dead and Living Men of the Nineteenth Century (1878), a teacher who recognized his artistic talent made application to King Ludwig I for Carl’s admission to the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. The king readily granted permission but Carl’s father, a glazier by trade, refused consent for Carl to pursue further art studies. His father objected to art as a career, believing that nobody could make a living as an artist, and wanted Carl to train (and join two other sons) in the family business. The Brenner family emigrated to the United States in 1853, when Carl was fifteen. They landed in New Orleans, where there was a strong German presence in the arts community, and stayed there briefly before journeying upriver that winter to Louisville, Kentucky, which also had a substantial German population. Carl remained in Louisville for the rest of his life. He originally worked with his father as a glazier (which turned out to have been a handy skill for constructing that portable hut!), then later as a house, sign, and ornamental painter. Carl’s artistic workmanship drew much admiration, however, even when used just for painting signs. Not long after arriving in Louisville, Brenner’s talent was noticed by an influential patron of the arts, George P. Doern, publisher of the Louisville Anzeiger, a German-language city newspaper. After seeing Brenner’s pencil sketches of scenes along the Mississippi River, Doern advised him to become a landscape painter. In 1863, Brenner received his first professional artist’s commission, a vast panorama (35,000 square feet) of Civil War scenes, from its beginning through the battles at Chancellorsville, for the Masonic Hall of Louisville. By 1867, Brenner had rented a studio at 103 West Jefferson Street, where he pursued his true passion of painting canvases when he was not painting signs and houses to afford his avocation. In 1871, Brenner began devoting more of his energies to landscape painting. His friend, U.S. Representative (and future Kentucky governor) J. Proctor Knott is said to have boosted Brenner’s career around 1874 by arranging for the sale of his painting Beeches to William Wilson Corcoran, founder of the Washington, D.C., gallery that bears his name. (Brenner named one of his sons after Knott.) Encouraged by the Corcoran sale and the Civil War panorama commission, Brenner gave up his business to become a full-time landscape painter at the age of forty, using his earnings as a glazier, house, and sign painter to establish his own studio at 407 South Fourth Street (Fourth and Jefferson) in 1878. Brenner had become a very popular and well-esteemed figure about town. “Night-time sales of his work in his gas-lit studio were social events of the time,” stated Heilenman. (Sounds a bit like the current First Friday Trolley Hop tour of art galleries in downtown Louisville, doesn’t it?) Cody shared a contemporary account of one such event: “Every year, just before Christmas, Brenner conducted his annual auction at his studio. A newspaper account in 1885 noted, ‘The studio was well filled last evening. The bidding was lively, although the pictures went for very modest sums.’ The top price was $113.” Heilenman also noted, “Prices rose from $35 a painting in the 1870s to more than $1000 just before his death.” During his lifetime, Brenner was the most well-known of Kentucky artists. His paintings were exhibited in Vienna, Philadelphia, New York, and California, as well as regionally in the first Louisville Industrial Exposition in 1874 (and every subsequent annual exposition) and the 1883 Southern Exhibition on the site of what is now St. James Court in Old Louisville. Brenner’s 1864 marriage to Anna Glass, daughter of an eminent Louisville violinist, produced six children. Three sons inherited his artistic talent; Edward became an architect and Proctor Knott studied art before taking holy orders at St. Meinrad Abbey in Indiana. Carolus showed such promise that he was sent to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, since his father knew for certain that one could indeed make a living as an artist! Several works by Carolus are also in KOAR, one of which is included as the last image here. (Perhaps more on Carolus in a future blog…) Carl Christian Brenner died of a kidney ailment on July 22, 1888, in Louisville and is buried in St. Louis Cemetery. “Henry Watterson, editor ofThe Courier-Journal, wrote in 1888, shortly before Brenner’s death at the age of 50, ‘It was a grand triumph of Carl Brenner, an untutored sign painter of limited education and little or no instruction in art, to have painted the beech better than any American dead or alive,’” Cody quoted, then later continued, “Brenner, at the time of his death, was written up in the London Magazine of Art. Not bad for a self-taught artist from Louisville.” .

Cincinnati, OH. - 1878 "Carl C. Brenner, Landscape Painter, was born August 1, 1838, at Lauterecken, on the Rhine, in Bavaria, where his father Frederick Brenner, lived, a glazier by trade. He attended the public schools of his native village, from his sixth to his fourteenth year; was considered one of the brightest of his class, and showed such decided talent in drawing that his teacher made application to King Ludwig I for his admission to the Academy of Fine Arts, at Munich. The king was ever ready to assist artistic talent, and readily granted the permission; but here he met with opposition from his father, who, as himself and two other sons were glaziers, desired that Carl also should follow the trade, and refused to allow him to prosecute his art studies. He therefore worked with his father until 1853, when the family emigrated to America, arriving at New Orleans in the Winter of that year, and went to Louisville, Kentucky. Here his talent was discovered by Mr. George P. Doorn, proprietor of the "Anzeiger," who noticed some of his excellent pencil sketches of Mississippi scenery, and at once advised him to become a landscape painter. He therefore made use of his earnings as glazier, and also house and sign painter, to pursue studies for that purpose, and his work since attests the genius that enables him so faithfully to portray nature. Even when employed on sign painting, his artistic workmanship drew much admiration, and many beautiful samples were on exhibition at the Louisville Exposition, and the International, at Vienna. His landscapes have always met with ready sale, and are found in many of the prominent art-galleries of the United States. In social life he is very popular and occupies a high place in the esteem of his countrymen. He was married, in his twenty-sixth year, to Miss Anna Glass, the accomplished daughter of an eminent musician of Louisville." TOP Mid-continent ... Monthly Magazine Illustrated, Volume 5 Basil W.

She was 81. No cause of death was announced, but Ms. Braden's biographer, Catherine Fosl, said she died after being admitted to a hospital with pneumonia and dehydration. Ms. Fosl's biography, "Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South," was published in 2002 by Palgrave Macmillan. An advocate of racial and economic equality for more than half a century, Ms. Braden was one of the white Southerners singled out for praise by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his celebrated "Letter From Birmingham Jail" in 1963. In 1985, she was among the founders of the National Rainbow Coalition, now the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. She also helped start the coalition's Kentucky chapter. In May 1954, Ms. Braden and her husband, Carl, both white Kentuckians active in progressive politics, bought a house in a segregated Louisville suburb on behalf of a black associate, Andrew Wade IV, and his family. In June, the house was dynamited. (No one was injured in the explosion, and the bomber was never caught.) In October, in a case that attracted nationwide attention, the Bradens and five other whites were indicted on charges of sedition in connection with the blast. The state said the Bradens, who were believed to be associated with the Communist Party, had intended to incite unrest with their purchase of the house. Carl Braden was convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison, but he served just over seven months before the verdict was overturned in 1956. Anne Braden's case never went to trial.

For the Flobots song named after her, see Fight with Tools. For the author and elocutionist, see Anna Braden. American civil rights activist, journalist, and educator (1924–2006) External videos "Anne Braden: Southern Patriot", California Newsreel A Riveting Biography of a Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden – Civil Rights (2003) Anne McCarty Braden (July 28, 1924 – March 6, 2006) was an American civil rights activist, journalist, and educator dedicated to the cause of racial equality.[1] She and her husband bought a suburban house for an African American couple during Jim Crow. White neighbors burned crosses and bombed the house. During McCarthyism, Anne was charged with sedition. She wrote and organized for the southern civil rights movement before violations became national news. Anne was among nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists, organizing across racial divides in environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements. Background [edit] Born in Louisville, Kentucky, on July 28, 1924, to Gambrell N. McCarty & Anita D. (Crabbe) McCarty and raised in rigidly segregated Anniston, Alabama, Braden grew up in a white, middle-class family that accepted southern racial mores wholeheartedly.[2] A devout Episcopalian, Braden was bothered by racial segregation, but never questioned it until her college years at Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia. As she grew older she experienced what has been framed as a "racial conversion narrative",[3] "a conversion of almost religious intensity" "turning myself inside out and upside down".[4] The experience that so affected her, in 1946, was witnessing a march of black veterans to the Birmingham courthouse, led by Louis Burnham of the Southern Negro Youth Congress, demanding the right to vote; with Braden covering the story as a reporter for the Birmingham News.[5] After working on newspapers in Anniston and Birmingham, Alabama, Anne Braden returned to Kentucky as a young adult to write for The Louisville Times. She became a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement at a time when it was unpopular among southern whites. Either you find a way to oppose the evil, or the evil becomes part of you and you are a part of it, and it winds itself around your soul like the arms of an octopus... If I did not oppose it, I was... responsible for its sins. — Anne Braden[4] While working at The Louisville Times, Anne met fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist. The couple married in 1948. Both were deeply involved in the civil rights cause and the subsequent social movements it prompted from the 1960s to the 1970s.[citation needed] Career [edit] Early activism [edit] In 1948, Anne and Carl Braden immersed themselves in Henry Wallace's run on the Progressive Party for the presidency. Soon after Wallace's defeat, they left mainstream journalism to apply their writing talents to the interracial left wing of the labor movement through the FE (Farm and Equipment Workers) Union, representing Louisville's International Harvester employees.[6] Even as the postwar labor movement splintered and grew less militant, civil rights causes heated up. In 1950, Anne Braden spearheaded a hospital desegregation drive in Kentucky. She endured her first arrest in 1951 when she led a delegation of southern white women organized by the Civil Rights Congress to Mississippi to protest the execution of Willie McGee, an African American man convicted of the rape of a white woman, Willette Hawkins.[6] Wade case [edit] In 1954, Andrew and Charlotte Wade, an African American couple who knew the Bradens through association, approached them with a proposal that would drastically alter all lives involved.[2] Like many other Americans after World War II, the Wades wanted to buy a house in a suburban neighborhood. Because of Jim Crow housing practices, the Wades had been unsuccessful for months in their quest to purchase a home on their own. The Bradens, not wavering in their support for African American civil rights, agreed to purchase the home for the Wades.[6] On May 15, 1954, Wade and his wife spent their first night in their new home in the Louisville suburb of Shively, Kentucky. Upon discovering that black people had moved in, white neighbors burned a cross in front of the house, shot out windows, and condemned the Bradens for buying it on the Wades' behalf. The Wades moved in two days before the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark condemnation of public schools' racial segregation policy in Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka, Kansas. Six weeks later, amid constant community tensions, the Wades' new house was dynamited one evening while they were out.[6] While Vernon Bown (an associate of the Wades and the Bradens) was indicted for the bombing, the actual bombers were never sought nor brought to trial. McCarthyism affected the ordeal. Instead of addressing the segregationists' violence, the investigators alleged that the Bradens and others helping the Wades were affiliated with the Communist Party, and made that the main subject of concern. White supremacists who were pro-segregation at the time charged that these alleged Communists had engineered the bombing to provide a cause célèbre and fund-raising opportunity, but this was never proven.[7] Nonetheless, in October 1954, Anne and Carl Braden and five other whites were charged with sedition.[7] After a sensationalized trial, Carl Braden—the perceived ringleader—was convicted of sedition and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. As Anne and the other defendants awaited a similar fate, Carl served eight months, but got out on $40,000 bond after a U.S. Supreme Court decision (Pennsylvania v. Nelson in 1956) invalidated state sedition laws (Steven Nelson had been arrested under the Pennsylvania Sedition Law but the federal Smith Act superseded it). All charges were dropped against Braden, but the Wades moved to the traditionally black west Louisville.[8] Southern Conference Educational Fund [edit] Blacklisted from local employment, the Bradens took jobs as field organizers for the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), a small, New Orleans-based civil rights organization whose mission was to solicit white southern support for the beleaguered southern civil rights movement.[2] In the years before southern civil rights violations made national news, the Bradens developed their own media, both through SCEF's monthly newspaper, The Southern Patriot, and through numerous pamphlets and press releases publicizing major civil rights campaigns. Her 1958 book The Wall Between[7] helped place the Bradens among the civil rights movement's most dedicated white allies. Anne Braden and her husband Carl were two of the most hated people of the 1950s and 1960s by the powers-that-were in the American south. As whites of impeccable southern credentials, they gave lie to the myth that all southern whites opposed the civil rights movement—and that drove the racists wild.—David Nolan[9] Carl Braden died suddenly of a heart attack on February 18, 1975. After Carl's death, Anne Braden remained among the nation's most outspoken white anti-racist activists. She instigated the formation of a new regional multiracial organization, the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice (SOC), which initiated battles against environmental racism. She became an instrumental voice in the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition of the 1980s and in the two Jesse Jackson presidential campaigns, as well as organizing across racial divides in the new environmental, women's, and anti-nuclear movements that sprang up in that decade. In 1977, Braden became an associate of the Women's Institute for Freedom of the Press (WIFP).[10] WIFP is an American nonprofit publishing organization. The organization works to increase communication between women and connect the public with forms of women-based media. In 2005, she joined Louisville antiwar demonstrations in a wheelchair.[11] She cofounded the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and continued involvement in local activism addressing modern concerns of police brutality, environmental racism, and LGBT rights.[11] Personal life and death [edit] In 1948, she married fellow newspaperman Carl Braden, a left-wing trade unionist.[12] The Bradens had three children: James, a Rhodes Scholar and a 1980 graduate of Harvard Law School where he was editor of the Harvard Law Review;[13] Anita, born in 1953, who died of a pulmonary disorder at age 11, and Elizabeth, born in 1960, who has worked as a teacher in many countries around the world, serving as of 2006 in that capacity in rural Ethiopia.[citation needed] Anne Braden died on March 6, 2006, at Jewish Hospital in Louisville[14] and was buried at Eminence Cemetery in Eminence, Kentucky. Only three days earlier, she had completed a proposal for a local activist summer camp.[11] She was remembered by many in the civil rights movement, including Ira Grupper, Dorie Ladner, David Nolan, Efia Nwangaza, and Gwendolyn Patton.[15] Awards [edit] Braden received the American Civil Liberties Union's first Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty in 1990 for her contributions to civil liberties.[16] As she aged, her activism focused more on Louisville, where she remained a leader in anti-racist drives and taught social justice history classes at University of Louisville and Northern Kentucky University.[17] Legacy [edit] After her death, the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research was established at the University of Louisville in November 2006 and was officially opened on April 4, 2007. The institute focuses on social justice globally, but concentrates on the southern United States and the Louisville area.[18] The alternative hip hop group Flobots paid tribute with the song "Anne Braden" on their 2007 album Fight With Tools. The track includes several audio samples of Anne Braden, describing her life and thoughts on race in her own words.[19] Works [edit] In 1958 Anne wrote The Wall Between, a memoir of their sedition case.[7] One of the few books of its time to unpack the psychology of white southern racism from within, it was praised by human rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Eleanor Roosevelt, and became a runner-up for the National Book Award. From the 1980s into the 2000s, Braden wrote for Southern Exposure, Southern Changes, and the National Guardian and Fellowship. Braden, Anne (1958). The wall between. New York: Monthly Review Press.

He was 60 years old. Mr. Braden, who left a Roman Catholic seminary in Louisville at the age of 16 to become a newspaper reporter, had worked for newspapers there and in Cincinnati and aided union groups. He and his wife, the former Anne McCarty, were indicted for sedition under a Kentucky law in 1954 after they bought a house and sold it to a black couple. The indictments were dismissed in 1956, and Mr. Braden soon joined the Southern Conference Education Fund, which was working for blackwhite cooperation in civil rights. The Bradens were indicted again for sedition in 1967 after Pike County officials found “a truckload of seditious material.” They were accused of seeking to spread “the Communist theory… to overthrow the government of Pike County.” The case ended after the United States Supreme Court ruled in the Steve Nelson case that state sedition laws were unconstitutional.

She was 81, and had spent her adult life in an unrelenting struggle against racism. Anne Braden was born in 1924 in Louisville, a descendant of a white settler family, and raised in Anniston, Ala., in a middle-class, pro-segregation family. She began her working life as a journalist. She later said her radicalization came from covering the Birmingham courthouse as a reporter, seeing first-hand the brutal injustices done to African-American people under a segregated and racist legal system. Along with her husband Carl Braden, she was the central figure in one of the key battles to end segregation. In 1954 they bought a house in an all-white Louisville suburb on behalf of African-Americans Andrew and Charlotte Wade. The house was dynamited and the Bradens were arrested under Kentucky state sedition laws passed in 1920 to support the anti-communist Palmer raids of that era that were being used in the 1950s to support local versions of the national McCarthy witch-hunts. A storm of red-baiting ostracized both Bradens. Carl Braden was convicted and ultimately jailed for a year in federal prison. Anne Braden expanded her work against segregation into a fight against what she described as “the Southern police state.” After the struggle for desegregated housing in Louisville—where she was living with Carl and their three young children—resulted in the sedition arrests, Anne Braden entered into a wider campaign that she called the “l950s resistance movement against the Red Scare.” Fighters against racism in the South were typically smeared as communists, and threatened with arrest and job loss. Many, like the Bradens, actually experienced those losses. (Cate Fosl, “Southern Subversive: Anne Braden and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South.”) Anne Braden saw that strength and unity in the movement for social justice could only come with resistance to red-baiting, and joined with others on the Left to resist this “divide-and-conquer” tactic based on anti-communism. She refused then, as well as throughout the rest of her long life, to either claim or disavow an affiliation with a communist party because she felt to do so would accept the ideology of the 1950s anti-communist witch-hunts. The integrity of her position is noteworthy because, despite her commitment to economic justice issues, she did not endorse a specifically Marxist approach to the analysis of history or to political change in her public speeches or writings. During the struggle against the sedition arrests in the 1950s, Braden went on to join the staff of a civil rights organization, the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), resumed her work as a journalist to edit its newspaper, and traveled throughout the region to recruit greater support among white people for African-American civil rights. “The Wall Between,” her 1958 book on the fight to desegregate Louisville housing, was a runner-up for a National Book Award. A mentor to a younger generation of activists, she was organized in the 1960s Louisville Open Housing movement and the 1970s school desegregation movement, Throughout this time she still suffered from extreme social and political ostracism as the result of red-baiting. In 1967, she and Carl were again charged with sedition for their role in protests against strip-mining; they were able to use their case to have the Kentucky law ruled unconstitutional. Starting in the 1970s, Anne Braden was active in the Southern Organizing Committee for Economic and Social Justice and was a founder of the Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression—which formed along with other local branches as the result of the national campaign to free Angela Davis, then a Communist Party member charged with helping three imprisoned members of the Black Panther Party to escape. Anne Braden was a constant voice for social justice in her local and regional community, speaking out against police brutality and environmental racism, and in support of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. Her two “Open Letters to White Southern Women” embody her principled determination to forge bonds between oppressed peoples. Speaking of the false accusations of rape of white women that have been leveled against African American men, she rallied white women to struggle against racism as part of fighting for women’s liberation, saying, “All issues are ‘women’s issues,’ including war and peace, economics, and racism.”

Over 50 years, Anne worked for justice for all. She was known throughout the South and was a noted figure in Louisville. With her husband Carl, they purchased and sold on the "Wade House" to the African-American Wade family, who were simply seeking a home in south-western Louisville, outside of the "red lined" West End of Louisville. The home was dynamited within weeks. The Branden's were arrested for sedition and Carl was convicted and imprisoned for over a year before the Supreme Court overturned the conviction on the grounds that sedition was a federal issue, not one for the state of Kentucky to be involved in. Carl died in 1975. Anne continued her work until she passed in 2006. Turns out that Angela Davis has some history with UofL, having been a visiting scholar in the early 2000's. She returns to deliver the 10th Anne Braden Memorial Lecture. The venue is a larger hall in one of the several stadiums on the UofL campus. Even so, the turn out is HUGE and even with people standing in the back, late comers had to be turned away! And the crowd was a mix of older and younger, of color and white, even children brought by parents to hear a voice from history that is still speaking out for justice. Light levels and the distance I ended up standing from the podium result in some softness in these photos. The interior images were taken using ISO 6400. I only use this high an ISO on this camera when I have no choice. Most images are at a focal length near the 300mm maximum of my long zoom, equivalent to 450mm on a 35mm sensor/film. Shutter speeds are around 1/50 second. This totally violates the normal rule of thumb for shutter speed versus focal length. However the lens has stabilization and I leaned against a wall as much as possible.
