Description

Septima Clark Learning Center staff with John Gaventa, Candie Carawan, and Kierra Sims

Our work on the 90th anniversary Highlander timeline will be shared through displays, banners, handouts, sharing our online research website and sharing stories to help introduce people to the abundance of historical movement materials available at Highlander and our partner archives. We know that these are powerful tools to inspire organizers, community leaders, students and the public to know that change is possible and we are the ones we have been waiting for!

The 90th timeline committee includes previous education team members, Candie Carawan, John Gaventa, and Kierra Sims. Ashby Haywood is a Black queer memory worker from the South. She is a full-time assistant librarian and archivist at the Highlander Research and Education Center. Ashby is an advisor and interviewer for the Georgia Transgender Oral History Project.
