A Tennessee social justice center that has hosted iconic civil rights leaders was destroyed in a fire and a "white power" symbol was found on the site, the center said. The symbol, which officials did not describe but said was connected to the white power movement, was discovered after the main office was completely destroyed in a fire last week, the Highlander Research and Education Center said in a news release Tuesday. It was spray-painted on the parking lot connected to the main office. No one was hurt in Friday's blaze.

I have personally been white for 62 years. I have no idea what a White Power symbol looks like.

[gogeo]

...and a MAGA hat, right?

[Colorado Doug]

What? No noose?

[CapnJack]

The “OK” sign is a white power symbol???

I don’t get it.

[caww]

That's right...they pound their victim drumbeat, and now it's “White privilege” at every organization on human rights because those are the “vehicle” they are directed to use against non-muslims. In fact many minority groups also use the same venue. However it was developed by the muslim brotherhood.

So of course the Demorats play on that stage in order to garner their votes by proclaiming how much they ‘care’ about their victim-hood....which is hog wash to say the least! Because the 'victim-hood' card is now a "political weapon" these people who use it politically truly cause damage for those who have genuinely been attacked and suffered violence.

Yep! I generally check to see the authors anymore because there’s a lot of them writing who do so through the lens of Islam. This one said she read the Quran for the first time in over a yea the night of the attack on the mosque. That she is not a practicing muslim......but right there shows that they will unit with one another in a blink of an eye.

What a foul-mouthed guttersnipe. So typical of her ilk.

Highlander Research and Education Center is an old Communist front that became infamous during the FDR administration, when it was called Highlander Folk School.

#6. re “ What is a White Power symbol”?

It’s the exact opposite of a “Black Power” symbol.

[caww]

Yep...like snakes in a garden.

#70. re the author of the article.

Dear Ms. Taqqiya:

Sorry but I’m not buying it or any of your fake propaganda line.

By the way, what the hell are “literal stones”, something from the littoral sea zone?

#81. Re “I have personally been white for 62 years. I have no idea what a White Power symbol looks like”.

I think you are old enough now that we can tell you what a white power symbol it. It’s liquid white out. Shhh. It’s a family secret. Don’t tell anyone.

However, I have a question for you. You said that “I have personally been white for 62 years” but I know that you are 70, so what were you the other 8 years? Biologists want to know.

Hihglander Research and Education Center. Run by the Communist Party USA and its supporters as a propaganda/training center in Tennessee. Led by old CPers including James Dombrowski, Aubrey Grossman, with help from the Bradens, Anne and Carl (who later created a new propaganda operation known as SIPO/TIPO out of the older CP fronts SCHW (Southern Conference for Human Welfare) and SCEF (Southern Conference Educational Fund).

As I recall SIPO/TIPO stood for Southern Institute for Propaganda Operations and Training Institute for Propaganda Operations. Been a long time since I’ve seen those abbreviations so I might be a little off on the correct words.

A southern (Georgia) newspaper in the 1960’s printed a photograph of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. attending a Highlander session. Again, if I recall correctly, they photograph contains people sitting next to Dr King as either/or Aubrey Grossman and/or James “Jim” Dombroski. Carl Braden may have been in one of the next two rows near Dr. King.

If you search at Wikipedia, www.keywiki.org and/or www.DiscoverTheNetwork.org, you will find a lot on these organizations. However, beware that anything on WIKI about the Communists/CPUSA is usually written by Party members and sympathizers so the “juicy true” parts are usually left out.

FBI file on Highlander: Highlander Folk School. Eleanor Roosevelt's involvement with them came under scrutiny.

Thanks> I forgot the name Myles Horton. He was the day-to-day manager of the Center while Dombrowski and Grossman provided guidance from the Party.

Don’t remember if Horton ever was identified as a Party member but the Communist Party wouldn’t have entrusted such an important recruiting and training school to someone they couldn’t trust.

Just for a history factoid. The last time I saw Carl and Anne Braden was 50 years ago this month at another CPUSA anti-intelligence front conference in DC, that of the National Committee to Abolish HUAC, which was changed at the meeting to NCAHISC.

I even carried some newspapers (The Patriot) for Carl to Union Station. Anne stayed around at the conference. She later went on to become a major Party leader in other southern operations and some black extremist fronts in North Carolina. Gotta hand it to her, she was a fireball, for the Soviets.

She’s in her own world of transforming America to her idea of what it should be.....these people have zero understanding of our foundations and don’t care to know.

Donald West was a cofounder of Highlander: West was often accused of being a Communist,[3] but he denied it. In an interview with the Southern Oral History Program, he said, "I have never been a card carrying, dues paying member of the communist party... But I have worked closely with people whom I knew to be communist. And I would never red-bait."[4] He devoted himself to writing, lectures, and social causes. These included the defense of Angelo Herndon. He was also an organizational director of the Kentucky Workers Alliance. West later worked in churches in Ohio and Georgia, taught and became a public school superintendent, and eventually joined the faculty of Oglethorpe University in Atlanta. Forced to leave Oglethorpe during the period of Red-baiting, he continued to edit religious publications and teach creative writing. He testified before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee in Memphis, Tennessee. He was subpoenaed by the House Un-American Activities Committee but never testified. In the 1940s, his collection of poetry, Clods of Southern Earth, became a literary phenomenon when it sold tens of thousands of copies. He appeared as the character "Tod North" in Clancy Sigal's novel Going Away(1961).

Good memory! Yes, that SCHW/SCEF nexus connected with Highlander, which came under a spotlight when the Bureau, SISS, and state investigative committees were looking into the SWP and the Fair Play for Cuba Committee in the early 60s.
