Homecoming 2006
9/3/06
On Sunday, September 3rd, over 120 people gathered at Highlander for our annual Homecoming celebration, which started at 2:00 and extended into the evening.
The event began with a dynamic children's program and two workshops, one on Highlander's current programs and the other on immigration and border issues.
Following the workshops, we enjoyed performances by noted national, regional, and local artists, including Guy and Candie Carawan of New Market, TN; Jolivette Anderson The Poet Warrior of Jackson MS; Rossi Tuner Dance Ensemble of Nashville, TN; Saddi Khali of New Orleans, Paula Larke of Alabama, Fruit of Labor Singing Ensemble of Raleigh, NC; Seed Lynn of Pulaski TN; and Freddy Mosley of Lexington, MS.
The afternoon also featured a tribute to four people with special relationships to Highlander who passed on in the last year: Rosa Parks, Anne Braden, Beverly Brown, and Eric Rofes. Speakers at the tribute included Pam McMichel, Candie Carawan, Suzanne Pharr, and Maria Maria Corral-Robardy.
