In 1954, Louisville suburbs were racially segregated when African Americans Andrew and Charlotte Wade moved to Rone Court on May 15, two days before the Supreme Court condemned school segregation. Neighbors burned a cross and shot out windows, and the Wades endured harassment until June 27, when the house was dynamited. Amid Cold War fears, the Wades’ civil rights were ignored, and attention shifted to the alleged communism of Anne and Carl Braden, the white couple who had bought and then transferred the house after no one would sell to the Wades. A sensationalized sedition trial followed, the street was renamed Clyde Drive, the culprits were never prosecuted, and by 2000 the neighborhood was multiracial.
