Braden Memorial Center 3208 West Broadway How many of you have heard of the Carl Braden Memorial Center? How many have heard of the Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research? How many of you knew they were 2 different things? The two organizations often get confused, but the Anne Braden Institute for Social Jus-tice Research, publisher of this tour, is at the University of Louisville, and the Carl Braden Memorial Center is here at 32nd and Broadway. This building has been used as an activist headquarters since Anne and Carl Braden purchased it in 1969, when they became directors of the New Orleans-based civil rights group SCEF and moved its national headquarters here. SCEF stands for Southern Conference Educational Fund. The organization worked closely with Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and was a leading proponent of integration and civil rights in the South. The Bradens were both journalists as well as radicals
