LFPL's At the Library Series

A presentation by the Anne Braden Center explores the history of the 1954 Louisville controversy when Andrew and Charlotte Wade, an African American family, moved into a segregation-minded majority-white suburb in what is now Shively. The talk explores how the event highlighted the ongoing issues of racism and segregation in Louisville, the role of civil rights activists Carl and Anne Braden in fighting for the Wades and for racial equality, and how the culture of the "Red Scare" was used to reinforce white supremacy.www.blackfreedomwhitealliesredscare.org
