Elaine Weiss: Spell Freedom; The Underground Schools of the Civil Rights Movement
Wednesday, 2 September, 2026

Tennessee didn’t just produce Dolly Parton. The Highlander Center arose there in spite of Tennessee. It is a school for the movement - first for labor in the 1930s then civil rights in the 50’s and 60’s. We will talk to Elaine Weiss about her book Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement. It’s an essential story of how to build a movement that can change America. Our feature is Safety First with Mary Erio.
