ITEM OVERVIEW
This summer's United States Social Forum was singularly successful in its use of popular education, holding over a thousand workshops in three days. This issue of Race, Poverty and the Environment opens with a quick look at the forum and then delves into the many complex ways people are using education to strengthen the movements for social justice.
We start by acknowledging that the struggle for equal education organized by the civil rights movement is a vivid example of successful social change.Ê From the initial trainings at the Highlander Center, (described by John Hurst) to the curriculum of the Freedom Schools (by Kathy Emery), there is much to be learned by today's organizers about the foundations of widespread civil disobedience and mass action.Ê
