Ph.D. was the founder of World Magazine and publisher of The Saturday Review magazine whose readership reached more than 3 million readers. He also was President of the National Society for Arts and Literature.
Spencer Grin, like Myles Horton, has fought throughout his life, for equal justice, protection of our environment and planet, and an end to racism and inequality in order to form a more perfect union; which alas, still has miles to go.
Asher Hey, is a student at the Garland School in Denver, Colorado. Among his many interests; he is a history and biology buff, and a firm believer in justice and equality for all people. He is on the Board of Directors of the Young Americans Bank where every person is treated with dignity and respect and given equal access and opportunity.
After he started research for this book; he was surprised to learn how few people knew who Myles Horton was, nor anything about how he planted the seeds of the civil rights movement and fought for many good causes. The Highlander School he founded has faced many challenges and threats each decade; but undaunted has remained in operation in the South for 85 years to the present day. Asher’s passion has been to shine a spotlight on the example set by Myles Horton, the Father of the Civil Rights Movement, and to illuminate the path he blazed for the nation and the world.ver menos
