HIGHLANDER WORKSHOPS . © “are dc-
signed to meet the needs of adult citizens who
have a genuine interest in implementing the
Supreme Court’s decision, and who are seeking
help in knowing how best they can work. The
workshop sessions rely on group discussion in
which the common problems of different areas
are used as the material for discussion. Staff
Persons and invited consultants take part in
the total process lending help when needed,
but not dominating the discussions and not
converting the sessions into an academic rov-
tine. Participants learn, and learn a remarkable
amount, in a short time, because they are do-
ing it themselves and because the work stays
close to the needs they feel." — JRENE OS-
BORNE, American Friends Service Committee.
