Over the years I have attended lots of things there, not fancy but a great
place, and the scenery is breathtaking.

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.
