What is the Highlander Center?
www.highlandercenter.org
The Highlander Center is a residential popular education and research
organization that has gathered workers, grassroots leaders, community
organizers, educators, and researchers to address the most pressing
social, environmental and economic problems. The founding principle and
guiding philosophy of Highlander is that the answers to the problems
facing society lie in the experiences of ordinary people. Those
experiences, so often belittled and denigrated in our society, are the
keys to grassroots power.
Generations of activists have come to Highlander to learn, teach, and
prepare to participate in struggles for justice. Highlander has played
important roles in many major political movements, including the
Southern labor movements of the 1930s, the Civil Rights Movement of the
1940s-60s, and the Appalachian people's movements of the 1970s-80s.
Currently, the Highlander Center is involved in organizing around
immigration, economic, and LBGT issues, among many others. They also
support training for youth activists and space to build multi-racial,
multicultural, and intergenerational alliances that meet to develop
strategies and ideas across race, age and gender.
Highlander Center is coming to campus for half and full day workshops
that will bring students, faculty and staff together to:
• Build multicultural coalitions around a specific issue and
across issues
• Learn about an organization and process that helps communities
work for social justice • Develop your knowledge and skills to
work for change in your community
