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.
