Vashon SURJ — Showing Up for Racial Justice — and the Backbone Campaign will host a screening of a documentary about the life and legacy of civil rights leader Anne Braden next week.

The film, “Anne Braden: Southern Patriot” is part of the Backbone Meaningful Movies series and will be shown at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 14, at the Vashon Theatre.

Braden was hailed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a white southerner whose rejection of her segregationist upbringing was “eloquent and prophetic,” and she was one of only five southern whites he could count as allies.

Following the film, Bill Moyer, executive director of the Backbone Campaign, will talk with Janie Starr, a leader of Vashon SURJ, and Dr. Mary Lou Finley, who is on the board of directors of the Backbone Campaign. Finley has been an activist since the mid-1960s when she served on Martin Luther King, Jr.’s staff during his campaign in Chicago. She is a co-author of “Doing Democracy: The MAP Model for Organizing Social Movements” and co-editor of “The Chicago Freedom Movement: Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. and Civil Rights Activism in the North.”

The discussion following the film will center on how islanders can show up in solidarity with movements led by people of color.
