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!
