520			_a"In 1932, Myles Horton founded the Highlander Folk School in Monteagle, Tennessee, and a new kind of social activism was born. Himself a poor boy from the Appalachian Mountains, Horton created an adult education center dedicated to helping people solve problems and conflicts — social, economic, political — by mining their own experience and awareness. In his own direct, modest, plain-spoken style, Horton tells the story of Highlander, which is really the story of American social history over the last sixty years. From the labor uprisings of the 1930s, through the civil rights movement of the 1950s and '60s, to the present day, the school has remained a powerful and controversial presence. Here Rosa Parks studied and was inspired to her own historic act. Here, too, came Martin Luther King, Jr., Pete Seeger, Eleanor Roosevelt, and others. Filled with disarmingly honest insight, as well as gentle humor and a profound respect for human dignity, The Long Haul is an inspiring hymn to the possibility of social change, as well as a deeply affecting testament to the power of people to triumph over injustice and inequality. It is the story of Myles Horton, in his own words: the wise and moving recollections of a man of uncommon determination and vision." -- from the dust jacket.
