 Carl Schurz Report
The military officers and agents of the Freemen's Bureau, to whom the negroes applied for advice and guidance, either procured them such employment as could be found, or persuaded them to return to their plantations and to continue in the cultivation of the crops, promising them that their liberty, rights, and interests should be protected.
General Brandon was elected on that platform, and in the convention voted for the ordinance abolishing slavery, and imposing upon the legislature the duty to pass laws for the protection of the freedmen.
The nervous anxiety which such a state of things produces extends also to those classes of society which, although not composed of planters, were always in close business connection with the planting interest, and there was hardly a branch of commerce or industry in the South which was not directly or indirectly so connected.

We named ourselves after the fictional fl fan writer Carl Brandon in much the same way that the Tiptree Award named itself after the fictional male writer James Tiptree, Jr.
Much as Alice Sheldon played with the concepts of gender in her writing as James Tiptree, Jr., so did Terry Carr and Peter Graham play with the concepts of race in their writing as Carl Brandon, Jr.
And just as the Tiptree Award creates a "shortlist" of the best fiction expanding gender boundries every year, so does the Carl Brandon Society publish lists of SF written by people of color.

Interview with Carl Tickle, formerly of Blemish on Society (early 80s Roanoke punk)
Carl Tickle spent several months in late '82 and early '83 playing bass in Blemish on Society, which was - if not the first Roanoke punk band - at least one of the first to play out on a somewhat regular basis.

 Strange Horizons Columns: What's Going On Out There?, by Debbie Notkin
This year at WisCon, the Society announced two annual awards: one will mirror the Tiptree Award and be given to the work of science fiction, fantasy, or horror that best "explores and expands" race, ethnicity, and cultural issues.
Carr and Graham were aware of how white the science fiction community was (and still is), so they invented Carl: a young fl science fiction fan, Carl wrote for the amateur magazines of the time and developed quite a reputation.
I find it amusing that the Tiptree Award is named for the fictional alter ego of a real person, and the Carl Brandon Society is named for a fictional person.
