Jessica Wilkerson. To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice
From the declarative first phrase of its title, it is no surprise to learn whom Jessica Wilkerson’s debut monograph, To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice, is about. Here, at last, southern Appalachian women activists step out from their supporting roles in social justice movements, mostly those connected to trade unions and environmental justice, and into the historical spotlight in a narrative t…
Investigating Kentucky’s LBGTQ Heritage
The Kentucky LGBTQ Heritage Context Study illustrates the promise and challenges of early investigations into LGBTQ history in a state in which queer life has rural and urban dimensions. In 2015–16, researchers from the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research at the University of Louisville partnered with an LGBTQ-equality organization to examine the history of LGBTQ people in Kentucky. Outcomes included the nation’s first statewide LGB…
Bring Your Whole Self to the Work”: Identity and Intersectional Politics in the Louisville LGBTQ Movement
This essay examines the interpretive use of intersectionality in oral history scholarship. The authors raise questions about how recent social movement participants grapple with multiple and overlapping social identities, as reflected in a body of interviews with LGBTQ activists connected to an organization called the Fairness Campaign in Louisville, Kentucky. The Fairness Campaign originated in 1991 as a mostly white-led but coalition-oriented L…

Anne Braden, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Rigoberta Menchu
This chapter focuses on Fannie Lou Hamer, Anne Braden, and Rigoberta Menchu&s;s storytelling experiences in order to explore the personal narrative as a strategy employed by social justice activists seeking to prompt a collective consciousness that can propel sociopolitical action. Braden gave an impassioned account of a conversion of almost religious intensity she had undergone as a young adult in the 1940s, from being a white southerner who acc…
"Before "Brown: Civil Rights and White Backlash in the Modern South
Before Brown details the ferment in civil rights that took place across the South before the momentous Brown vs. Board of Education decision in 1954. This collection refutes the notion that the movement began with the Supreme Court decision, and suggests, rather, that the movement originated in the 1930s and earlier, spurred by the Great Depression and, later, World War II - events that would radically shape the course of politics in the South an…

When Subjects Talk Back: Writing Anne Braden's Life-In-Progress
Subversive Southerner is an oral history-based biography that leans toward being a full critical biography of Anne Braden, a southern white woman (Kentucky-born, Alabama-reared) whose racial justice activism spans nearly six decades. The book represents an enterprise of shared authority between Braden and author Catherine Fosl, and this essay explores the evolution of that enterprise and reflects on the relationship between oral history biographe…
Subversive Southerner: Anne Braden and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Cold War South
Anne McCarty Braden (1924-2006) rejected her segregationist, privileged past to become one of the civil rights movement's staunchest white allies. In 1954 she was charged with sedition by McCarthy-style politicians who played on fears of communism to preserve southern segregation. Though Braden remained controversial-even within the civil rights movement-in 1963 she became one of only five white southerners whose contributions to the movement wer…
