This dialog between Paulo Freire, the Brazilian educational philosopher, and some adult educators and community organizers gathered at Highlander Folk School in rural Tennessee in December 1987 confirms Freire's conviction that "the most important matters to be found in a classroom are what the students themselves bring with them." As participants diagram their professional assignments and challenges, Freire, with Myles Horton, Highlander's director, make observations that are fundamental to the practice of popular education as it is experienced worldwide. Highlander is the legendary civil rights center where Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King confirmed their commitment early on. Here Paulo Freire links his own philosophy of education to that legacy.
