Time: 9:30am - 10:00am Location: Mayfield RoomThey were an unlikely team of disruptors: Septima Clark, a grandmotherly Black South Carolina school teacher; Esau Jenkins, a Sea Island businessman; Bernice Robinson, a Charleston beautician; and Myles Horton, a white Tennessean who called himself a “radical hillbilly.” In the summer of 1954 they met at the Highlander Folk School, an interracial training center for social change founded by Horton, and united behind a shared mission: preparing Black southerners to pass the literacy test that was a prerequisite to registering to vote – and designed to disenfranchise them. Working together, Clark – whom Dr. King would later call “Mother of the Movement” – Jenkins, Robinson and Horton created the Citizenship Schools project, starting with a single secret classroom hidden in the back of a rural grocery store. Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools that Built the Civil Rights Movement by Elaine Weiss, plunges readers into the heart of the burgeoning movement, offering a visceral and intimate story of ordinary citizens confronting injustice with courage and creativity, attempting to repair American democracy with their own hands.
