-the highlander folk school is trying to build a program that's dedicated to having people challenge segregation throughout the south. -in the summer of 1955, highlander is organizing a two-week workshop, and they have a scholarship for someone to come from montgomery. and virginia durr recommends rosa parks. -i hadn't traveled very much at that time. just getting on the bus, i found myself going further and further away from the type of surroundings i was used to. it was my very first experience in my entire life going to a place where there were people of another race and where we were all treated equally and without any tension or feeling of embarrassment or whatever goes with artificial boundaries of racial segregation.
