Carl and Anne Braden Papers, 1954-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/12959963

These materials document attempts to integrate housing in Shively, Kentucky by offering evidence on the bombing of Wade's house (apparently compiled by one of the Bradens from court records), data on the trial on sedition charges in the Jefferson Circuit Court and later on contempt of Congress charges. The materials are useful in documenting the history of an early civil rights movement in Kentucky, the use of sedition charges in civil rights cases, and the use of the investigatory powers by the United States House of Representatives, Committee on Un-American Activities.
