The Long Haul (autobiography)
The Long Haul is an autobiography of Myles Horton, labor organizer, founder of the Highlander School and perhaps the first practitioner of what would later be called popular education.
 Highlander used the principles of democratic education - where students were the authorities in the classroom, the teacher is a facilitator, and the focus of education is teaching collective action for social change - to play a key role in the labor movement of the 1930s and the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s to 1970s.
 Horton pioneered many of the educational principles Paulo Freire would make famous worldwide in the 1980s.
