NEW MARKET — The Highlander Research and Education Center, a place of cultural relationship-building, is celebrating 80 years of social justice this weekend with residential workshops, food, art and movies.
Fifty-five years ago, civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks were photographed in front of the center's library for the 25th anniversary of the Highlander Center, at which King served as the keynote speaker.
