Southern Christian Leadership Conference
In 1961, the state of Tennessee took the Highlander Folk School's land and property away.  In that year, the SCLC rescued the Citizenship School program.  The Schools' teachers pretended to be teaching adults to read.  Secretly, they were teaching about democracy, civil rights, leadership, getting people together to protest, politics, and protest strategies. All of these things would be very important in the Civil Rights Movement.
