Born in Laßue County. Kentuc

of a Socialist father, who was also
a militant trade unionist. In 1932.
the Elder Braden-Jsmes R. - went
on a big strike in which the family
almost starved to death. The di
spute arose over whether Negroes
i should be unionists. The father
held that they should be affiliated
! with the group.
Studied Eor Priesthood
Carl Braden studied for sev
eiai months for the priesthood,
i but -withdrew after finding that
the teachings of the church
were not different from his
fahter's conviction*, hut his
father put his teachings of
equality into practice.
When queried about his recep
tion by people of his own race.
Braden said: "A large number of

Braden, 6-years-old now, inte
grated the Virginia Avenue
School (all-Negro) in reverse.
Jimmy, who entered achoo!
first, was the only Negro pu
pil among some 962 Negroes.
400 white children were sched

withdrew or moved from the
neighhorhood before the iime
allotted arrived. There are pre
sently 20 white pupils enrolled
at the school now. Jimmy is a
second grader and Anita at
tends the first grade.
Sees Big Change
"I think there is a big change
! u die attitudes taking place in
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Florida and Tennessee to a lesser
degree than others - but a change
| is rapidly taking place." The city
|of Atlanta was also lauded by |
I Braden.
"In the last five years Since the
Supreme Court decision, we have j
been able to lay the bridge for a j
i push forward. Maybe six months,
two years or more will lapse be
fore full realization, but it will
taka place. This comes from the
fact, primarily, that Negroes are
determined to have their rights and
more white are Joining in the
straggle, or at ieast. are inclinded

I reporter.

Ga . for a hoard of education con- ;
1 ference and on May 29 he is :
scheduled to appear in Si Louis, j
There are currently 93,000 miles j

Mrs. Braden, who is a product
of Mississippi, and Alabama, was
reared in a well-to-do family and I
never spoke to » Negro socially !
until she was 19, and went to New i
York City to study acting. There I
she ran into a. Negro actress whom
she admired very much. It sudden
