The Long Haul: An Autobiography

by Myles Horton

The Long Haul: An Autobiography Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In his own direct, plain-spoken style, Myles Horton tells the story of the Highlander Folk School, a major catalyst for social change in the U.S. for more than 60 years. Filled with disarmingly honest insight and gentle humor, "The Long Haul" is an inspiring hymn to the possibility of social change.

Synopsis:

Studs Terkel, Bill Moyer, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Martin Luther King, Jr. are among the many who have recognized the unique influence Myles Horton has had on American social and educational history. Horton tells in his own simple, moving language how his vision was realized in the creation of the Highlander Folk School for adults in Tennessee. 35 photographs.
