Rosa and Martin's schoolroom

    
     The better-each- issue Oxford American includes an article about the site of the activism school attended by both Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr.

It reports.....
...the State of Tennessee shuttered Highlander in 1961. “You can padlock a building,” Horton said at the time, “but you can’t padlock an idea . . . It will grow wherever people take it.”

Here's Daniel Brook's article, posted just days after another graduate, Pete Seeger, passed.
