The Long Haul is an autobiography of Myles Horton, labor organizer, founder of the Highlander School and perhaps the first practitioner of what would later be called popular education. Highlander used the principles of democratic education - where students were the authorities in the classroom, the teacher is a facilitator, and the focus of education is teaching collective action for social change - to play a key role in the labor movement of the 1930s and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s to 1970s. Horton pioneered many of the educational principles Paulo Freire would make famous worldwide in the 1980s.

A Day In Tahreer; Resistance Sets Egypt Free
The following was written by an incredibly brave women who lives in Cairo Egypt and was an active participant in the Egyptian Revolution that began January 25th 2011. The Egyptian people taught the world that people can indeed face oppression with peace and turn the black heart of hate into a diamond of freedom. We have been shown that people, regardless of their religion can stand side by side for a common goal and that in the end, we are all one.
