Today is MLK Day across our nation. For those interested in events going on in the late 50s and early 60s, do a web search on Myles Horton and the Highlander School in Monteagle, Tennessee. You will find that MLK, Rosa Parks, and others in the Civil Rights Movements were frequent visitors to this school.

I had always thought that Rosa Parks just happened to be on a bus in Montgomery and decided not to move to the back of the bus. This is how history is taught. Rosa Parks is mentioned as a visitor to the Highlander School.

How much influence did this school have on MLK and his views on the Vietnam War might be interesting. Questions might also surface as to the extent of this group on some of the Socialists in the present administration.
