The Highlander Folk School, located in Monteagle, TN, was
founded by Don West, District Director of the Communist Party in North Carolina,
and Miles Norton Horton, Director of the Commonwealth College.
Based upon testimony by members of the school, the school was cited for
conducting subversive activities by the state of Tennessee, and closed by court
order in 1960.

Here is a Photostat of an SCEF
(Southern Conference Education Fund) check to King signed by Dombrowski and
Benjamin Smith, who was a registered Foreign Agent for Fidel Castro.
The of King is extremely important as it
identifies King with Carl and Ann Branden. They are lifelong Communist Party
activists out of Louisville, Kentucky. Both were leaders in SCEF, Carl Branden
was convicted of criminal sedition in 1954. He and his wife purchased a home for
blacks in a white neighborhood to incite racial violence. Later they were
charged with bombing the same house to win sympathy for their cause and to raise
money. Ann Braden today is a founder of the Atlanta based "Center for
Democratic Renewal" which smears Conservative patriots.
This photo was taken Sept. 2, 1957 of King
attending the Highlander Folk School which the Communist Party operated at
Monteagle, Tennessee Identified in the picture is No. 1 King, No. 2, Abner
Berry, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and writer for the
"Daily Worker," No. 3, Aubrey Williams, Communist Party agent and president of
the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF) a red front organizing blacks in
southern states. No. 4, Miles Horton, head of the Highlander Folk School King
was listed on the schools’ letterhead as a "sponsor."
The
Highlander school was financed by the Julius Rosenwald Fund. At one time
Rosenwald headed Sears Roebuck Co. He spent $22 million financing civil rights
groups. His daughter Edith Stern continued to give money to the SCEF and
Highlander Folk School after her father’s death. Her husband, Alfred stern of
New Orleans, fled to Russia just before he was to be arrested on spy charges.
