KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Lake County Democrats will host “Anne Braden: Southern Patriot” at the Second Saturday Cinema program on Feb. 8 at 2 p.m. at the Kelseyville Event Center, 5235 Third St.

All are welcome. Admission is free. The program completes at 4 p.m.

A moving, in-depth biography of an organizer and journalist who, for a remarkable 60 years, participated in the most significant movement for racial and economic justice in this country’s most conservative region – the South.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King praised her steadfast activism in support of civil rights and civil liberties, but she was threatened, attacked, indicted, and labeled a “Communist agitator” and “race traitor” by white supremacists.

Her conservative background gave her special insight into white racism, why it poses such a great obstacle to social change in this country and what progressive white people can do to end it.

The film was the winner of the 2013 Kentucky History Award for Documentary File from the Kentucky Historical Society.

Enjoy some snacks, camaraderie and a spirited discussion. Here’s an opportunity to learn, engage and advocate. Note the new showing location in Kelseyville.

Second Saturday Cinema has been organized by the Programs Committee of the Lake County Democratic Party. Associate membership in the Lake County Democratic Party is open to registered Democrats and dues are $30 annually.
