Highlander Research and Education Center
Founded in 1932, the Highlander Research and Education Center has played a central role in grassroots organizing and popular education. During the Civil Rights Movement, it provided a space where figures like Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. honed strategies to challenge systemic oppression.
Highlander’s approach centers on supporting communities in analyzing their own conditions and building solutions from the ground up. Its history reflects a commitment to interracial collaboration and democratic participation. Today, Highlander continues its work on economic and environmental justice, connecting and amplifying the voices of those on the frontlines of oppression.
