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 70 years, this school has
touched the lives of so many people, including 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 vision.
