And the Highlander Research and Learning Center is celebrating its 75th anniversary this weekend in Tennessee. The center was founded in 1932 to serve as an adult education center for community workers involved in social and economic justice movements. Highlander aimed to provide education and support to poor and working people fighting economic injustice, poverty, prejudice and environmental destruction. Many civil rights activists passed through Highlander’s grounds, including Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Stokely Carmichael.
