The Anne Braden Institute for Social Justice Research (ABI) seeks to advance public understanding of the U.S. civil rights movement, both its powerful history and its unfinished agenda of racial and social justice.
The institute holds as its core value the humanitarian vision of Anne Braden, whose outlook was global, but whose activism was concentrated at the U.S. grassroots level. "Our mission is to bridge the gap between academic research and community activism for racial and social justice."
