Summary:

This 1 reel of microfilm includes bureau memorandums, teletypes, letters, and a fair amount of Highlander Folk School produced material (newspapers, annual reports, and pamphlets) from April 1936 to September 1963. The school was an educational center for the training of rural and industrial leaders. Many of those who attended were workers whom their unions considered potential leaders, and the unions paid most of their way through school. What interested the FBI most was the possible Communist party activity at the school.
