    Kentucky Woman wrote a new post, Award winning website: resource on Anne Braden 4 years, 3 months ago

    In April 2012 at Kentucky’s District 3 finals for National History Day, Katy Campbell and Nick Tehrani from the Academy for Individual Excellence in Louisville won first place for their website: “Anne Braden: Advocate, Radical, and Revolutionary.”

    The website opens with a slideshow and a recording of “Anne Braden” by the Flobots, an American rock and hip hop musical group from Colorado (the Flobots online radio segment “White Flag Warrior” is available free at Jango) – you can see the powerful lines of the song at AZ Lyrics.

    [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="468"]Anne Braden Click image above to go to the students’ award-winning website on Anne Braden[/caption]

    The website contains the following segments:

    Young Life
    Escape Route
    The Wade Case
    Continued Activism
    Legacy
    Media
    Credits

    This is a terrific resource for young readers and highly recommended by Dr. Cate Fosl, director of the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research in Louisville.
