The Highlander Center is a residential popular education and research 
organization based on a 106-acre farm in the foothills of the Great 
Smoky Mountains, twenty-five miles east of Knoxville, Tennessee.

Since 1932, Highlander has gathered workers, grassroots leaders, 
community organizers, educators, and researchers to address the most 
pressing social, environmental and economic problems facing the 
people of the South. Highlander sponsors educational programs and 
research into community problems, as well as a residential Workshop 
Center for social change organizations and workers active in the 
South and internationally. Generations of activists have come to 
Highlander to learn, teach, and prepare to participate in struggles 
for justice.
