The Long Haul

Synopsis

In his own direct, modest, plain-spoken style, Myles Horton tells the

story of the Highlander Folk School. A major catalyst for social change

in the United States for more than sixty years, this school has touched

the lives of so many people, Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Pete Seeger. Filled with disarmingly honest

insight and gentle humor, The Long Haul is an inspiring hymn to the

possibility of social change. It is the story of Myles Horton, in his own

words: the wise and moving recollections of a man of uncommon

determination and dignity.
