Myles Horton

Although I've spent most of my life in Mississippi, I never knew of Myles Horton and his role in the Labor and Civil Rights movements. Only now, while living in Orissa, did a new friend introduce me to Horton and the Highlander Institute. With the community-based micro hydro work that is consuming me now, Horton couldn't have come at a better time. The Universe is always right on time :-).

....The more I read about and by Horton, I am in awe. Check him out:
