March 27, 1961
Mr. J. Edgar Hoover
Director, Federal Bureau of _Investigat:|.on
Washington 25, D. C.
Dear Mr. Hoover:
I am in possession @ publication which describes a schoolby the name of "The ighlander Folk School" in Tennessee. This
publication also~%mm 1 was established in
September 1932, by Horton and Donald L. West, a Georgian witha long record of affiliations with Commu.nistfront gmups.
I would very much appreciate all information the FBI may be at
liberty to give regarding this school, its teachers and its
purpose.
This publication also states that this school has continued
under close surveillance by the FBI therefore I presume you
may have some report available to the public.
My very sincere thanks.
Yours

Washington, D. C.
My dear Mr. Hoover:
After a telephone conversation with the local agent, yester-day, I concludqgguhat, to be safe, Ild write you regarding a
document on the ighlander Folk School Communist TrainingSchool, Monteagl¬I"TE1 WEIE"E§mé"Ito my possession as
stated below and the advisability of showing it to friends and
acquaintances. I am active in politics.
This document seems to be particularly appropiate at this time.
Human Events was a publication subscribed for. In one issue there
was a paragraph to the effect that a document was circulating
in Washington, that was causing comment. This could be obtainedfree of charge bguwriting to the Georgia Commission'on Education,
¬20 Agriculture ilding, l9 Hunter Street, S. W., Atlanta 5,
Georgia. This I did and in return l received this 4 page spread
with text and pictures of this school. Editorial comment to the
effect:"0n the proceeding pages you have seen pictures of the lead-
ers of every major race incident in the South from ay 1954 until ,
the time of this meeting, LaborDay, 195? Week-end August 50,51
and September l,2!_********* All or any part of this folder may be
renroduced by any person or organization with or without credit
being given to this Commission."

Memorandum to Mr. Sullivan
RE: HIGHLANDER RESEARCH AND .
EDUCATION CENTER
KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE61~751l g '
0n 2/16/60 the charter of the Highlander Folk School was
revoked by the State of Tennessee as the School was operating "a private
racially integrated school in violation of the Tennessee Code making
it unlawful to allow white and colored persons to attend the same
institution of learning. Horton subsequently opened the Highlander
Research and Education Center, Knoxville, Tennessee, which continues
in existence.
This organization has continuously been involved in the
integration movement and as a result charges are being continuously made
that it is "communist." These charges are based mainly on the opinion
of individuals making the charges that being prointegration is being
procommunist.
This organization in June, 1963, was again involved in an
incident involving the arrest of 28 white and colored men and women
after a raid on a camp site near Maryville, Tennessee. This camp was
being operated as a branch of the Highlander Research and Education
Center and was being used as a workshop to train individuals for the
integration movement.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the attached letter to the Knoxville Office be approved
instructing that the names of all officers, teachers and students
connected with this organization be obtained in a very discreet manner
and furnished to the Bureau. No active investigation is to be
conducted.
