DESCRIPTION:An evening of dialogue with Susan Williams, coordinator of the Highlander 
 Center’s Education Team and lead staff person on its Across Race and 
 Nation project.\n\n****************************\nIn 1932, during the 
 Depression, radical Appalachians started a folk school on a Tennessee 
 mountaintop in one of the poorest counties in the country, with the goal of 
 using education to help bring about social change. Now, 75 years later, the 
 Highlander Center is one of the most distinguished schools for grassroots 
 community organizers in Appalachia and the Southern states.\n\nCome learn 
 about 75 years of Highlander’s work for social and economic justice in 
 Appalachia and the South and hear about its successes and struggles – 
 from its earliest efforts to build both a progressive labor movement and 
 Civil Rights movement in the South; to later pioneering work to integrate 
 culture and organizing; to more recent training of environmental justice 
 and immigrant rights activists.\n\nSponsored by the UC Berkeley Center for 
 Labor Research and Education and the City College of San Francisco Labor 
 Studies Department. For more information, contact Andrea Buffa,
