To Our Governor, Allies and Friends We are pleased to present the Kentucky Commission on Human Rights annual report for the fiscal year of 2001, which covers the period of July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. The theme of this year’s report – Ensuring Equality In Kentucky – embodies our mission and our task as we carry out the day- to-day business of this state agency. The Commission has been charged to eradicate discrimination in Kentucky through civil rights enforcement, education, partnerships and promotion. The proud history of our agency was complemented by the events of this year. For four decades, KCHR has opened the doors of opportunity for thousands of people by enforcing and highlighting the Kentucky Civil Rights Act. The 40-year anniversary celebration was the culmination of much work and dedication on the part of the commissioners, staff and the advising committee led by Governor Paul E. Patton. It was an honor to establish the Kentucky Civil Rights Hall of Fame, a tool that will work to educate and to promote the mandate of equality to people in Kentucky for all time. The Commission will con- tinue to induct new Hall of Fame members whose valiant strides have made Kentucky a pioneer in civil rights. Through commitment and dedication, we will continue to have a strong hand in the war against dis- crimination. With our determination and the diligence of our allies, step by step, the victory against big- otry and prejudice of every kind will be ours. We appreciate your leadership and support, and look forward to working with all of you in continuing to ensure equality in the great Commonwealth of Kentucky.

    1 the Life of Anne Braden, Part

    The Life of Anne Braden, Part Two: a Life in the Movement By Lynn Burnett As Anne Braden crisscrossed the nation raising support to free her husband, the love of her life was unbeknownst to her locked away in solitary confinement. Although they wrote to each other often, Carl worried that Anne already had far too many burdens to bear, and therefore didn’t reveal how difficult his circumstances truly were. Carl used his time in solitary to develop an ascetic quality in himself, composing and reflecting on ethical goals. Anne meanwhile cultivated a large, national network of supporters through her travels, writings and journalistic connections. Civil rights activists and labor organizers across the country understood that if the Bradens could be charged with being part of a Communist conspiracy simply for helping a Black family move into a White neighborhood, that they could be charged with subversion for their activities as well. Freeing Carl Braden thus became a major cause: although his bail was the highest in Kentucky’s history, it was raised in seven months. Carl was released in the summer of 1955. Eight months later, the Supreme Court ruled that the state sedition laws that had been used to target the Bradens were unconstitutional. All charges were dropped. The prosecutor of the Bradens, Scott Hamilton, had hoped to rise to fame through building a sensational anti-Communist case. He instead found his career discredited. A few years later, he put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Anne and Carl could not, however, simply return to their old lives.

    The Wall Between by Anne Braden

    University of Louisville ANNE BRADEN INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE RESEARCH BOOK DISCUSSION KIT: The Wall Between By Anne Braden ABI Book Discussion Kit – The Wall Between INTRODUCTION Dear Readers: The Wall Between was first published in 1958, four years after the events that thrust Anne Braden into a life of social justice activism had transpired. It is Anne’s first-person account of her and her husband Carl’s decision in 1954 to purchase a home in an all-white neighborhood for Andrew and Charlotte Wade, who were black, and of the explosive consequences. Eloquently written; filled with equal parts drama, intriguing characters, and psycho-social analysis; and packed with a sense of journalistic integrity, the book was a finalist for the 1958 National Book Award in Nonfiction. This book discussion kit is based on the edition republished in 1999, which includes a foreword by Julian Bond and a new epilogue by Anne Braden. When The Wall Between was published in 1958, the U.S. was embattled in the African American Civil Rights Movement, a war against white supremacy and for human dignity that forced every citizen of the country to ask him or herself, consciously or subconsciously, “What kind of America do I want to live in?” It is with this question in mind that we hope you approach The Wall Between now, in the 21st century. As of the publication of this book discussion kit, the President of the United States is African American. The days of bus boycotts, restaurant sit-ins, angry mobs throwing stones at black children trying to enroll in all-white schools and black men being prosecuted or mob- lynched for looking at a white woman with intent to rape seem light years past.

    Commission on Public Art Inventory Review Online Comment Submissions the Public Comments in This Document Were Collected from Au

    Commission on Public Art inventory review online comment submissions The public comments in this document were collected from August 15 to September 5. They are in response to a call from Mayor Greg Fischer, encouraging the public to add their voice to the review of public art that can be interpreted to honor bigotry, discrimination, racism and/or slavery. 40204: I am not opposed to removing the Castleman statue. I would miss having a horse in the neighborhood, however, so if it could be replaced by another rider, perhaps Oliver Lewis and Aristides, the first KY Derby winners. That would be cool. Any statue with Confederate imagery should be removed. Period. 40299: We should not have public murals and statues of leaders of the confederacy. The bottom line is that these men of the confederacy fought to keep hatred, bigotry and racism alive. I don't want our city to have statues honoring these men, because I know Louisville is an inclusive community dedicated to bringing different folks together. 40212: Remove all statues glorifying these traitors. I can’t imagine what a PoC feels about these abominations. 40243: Please leave history ALONE... 40208: A democracy should have monuments celebrating the oppressed and not the oppressors. We need to tear down any monuments celebrating the Confederacy. I also think you should add to this list nude portraits, paintings objectifying women, and paintings featuring people in poverty. I would recommend going through the library and removing all books before 1975 and blocking all websites that involve actual thinking. History has been written, to ignore it is unwise.

    Transcript, Anne Braden: Southern Patriot Exterior of University of Louisville building and students. SUBTITLE: University of Louisville 2006 ANNE BRADEN (in class): You do not have to agree with me. I don't want you to agree with me. It's much more interesting if you don't and it does not affect your grade whatsoever. And if you do get involved in things and you go out and get arrested or something, I'll do everything I can to get you out of jail, but I'm not going to give you a better grade for it so [laughter] just so we're clear on that. And they're doing this documentary on me, which embarrasses me highly, but really what they're trying to do is look at the movements that I've been a part of for the last 50 years through the lens of my life. And I know enough about the way people respond now that I know that that is valid, if it just weren't me. That people are more interested in people than ideas initially, but once they get interested in the people they'll move on to what the ideas are. BARBARA RANSBY (giving a speech): SUBTITLE: Barbara Ransby, Historian, University of Illinois at Chicago They were people who were labeled the rebels, the renegades, the outliers. People who weren't afraid to be called crazy or in Ella Baker's case difficult, in Anne Braden's case red. Dreamers that catapult us into a different place. She was born at a time in the Jim Crow south in which there was a very rigid script about what a middle class white woman could be and do.
