Highlander Folk School: Communist Training School, Monteagle, Tenn.

Atlanta: Georgia Commission on Education, [1957-?]. Pamphlet. Large four-panel brochure, in newspaper format but printed on semi-glossy paper, 17.5x11.75 inches, neatly folded into quarters, very good.

Anti-Communist tract attacking the school, particularly focusing on its role in the Civil Rights movement. With photos showing Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, and other "leaders of every major race incident in the South," it argues that the School assists the Communist plot to foment racial strife through "outside agitation." Many of the Communist connections were of course real, as communist organizers were interested in racial justice and involved in related struggles, whether or not their affiliation was publicly known.
