Today I learned about Carl

2021-11-03 23:30:03.583024+01 by Dan Lyke 2 comments

Today I learned about Carl Braden, charged in 1954 with "sedition" for helping a Black family buy a house in a white Kentucky neighborhood. Might have to put Anne Braden's "The Wall Between" on the reading queue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Braden

Cool. My queue is too long to order it right now.

I ordered a copy of the book based on your tweet yesterday. But I’ve got a huge backlog of reading, so it may be a while before I can comment.
