This photo of <span>Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Pete Seeger, Charis Horton, Rosa Parks, and Ralph Abernathy was taken </span>at the Highlander Center in 1957, which was located at that time near Monteagle, TN, about 15 miles from where I live. The Highlander School, as locals referred to it when I was young, was  something of a social activism think tank. One of their programs trained activists on non-violent protest techniques. Rosa Parks was "trained" there, so to speak. They were also involved in organizing unions, and were the target of violent attacks instigated by local coal mining interests.
