論文の詳細を見る
Almost everybody knows the name, Mrs. Rosa Parks, whose refusal to surrender her seat on a segregated bus sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott in the 1950s. However, it is not known that her participation in a Highlander workshop in the summer of 1955, that is 5 months before the incident, had a crucial influence on her. What is the Highlander Folk School? What is its idea? This paper aims to provide a brief history of the Highlander Folk School, focusing on the development of adult education there. First, it describes the process of its establishment by Myles Falls Horton and his idea of adult education. Secondly, it shows a brief history of the School's educational programs since 1932 through 1961. Thirdly, it focuses on the Citizenship School Program in the 1950s, which gave a hint to the idea of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s. Lastly, in the summery, I introduce some various evaluation toward the Highlander Folk School and examine the meaning of the Highlander education in adult and continuting education study.
