I recommend everyone read the Wikipedia article on Highlander:

Highlander was founded in 1932 and was critical in the training and education of activists in labor, civil rights, and other movements that seek to empower and lift up people.

Throughout its history Highlander was the target of rightwingers from the Klan through McCarthyites to today's MAGAts. The Tennessee state government has long practiced a quiet vendetta against Highlander.

I was a college student in Alabama in the mid-1960's where I marched in Birmingham, Selma, and Montgomery. White crowds threw rocks and bottles at us as well as spitting on us and calling us vile names. A common site among those attacking us were commercially-made signs depicting Rev. King sitting in a classroom with a caption that read something like "King Trained by Communists" -- the photo was of him at what was then known as the Highlander Folk School.

The record of attacks on Highlander should show us that the forces which produced Trump have been with us always . . . and, sadly, will not disappear with him.
