Highlander Research & Education Center - Reception & Screening

Join us for a short video and forum featuring staff members from the Highlander Research and Education Center.

If you don't know about the Highlander Folk School or its founder, Myles Horton, by name, you know it by the impact it has had on almost every US social movement in the last century.

As a hub for organizing theory and practice located in the Appalachian mountains, Highlander inspired and developed leaders in labor organizing, the Civil Rights movement and more recently, mountaintop removal and globalization movements.

Come hear about the amazing history and legacy of Highlander and grassroots organizing, as well as the work they continue to do today. For more information about Highlander please see: http://www.highlandercenter.org/

Suggested Donation $15- $5 at the door to benefit Food for Thought Books Collective; Hat passed during the evening for Highlander.

Co-sponsored and Organized by the Umass Graduate Employee Organization.
