Scope and Content Note

This record group contains a portion of Highlander Center educator and activist Michael "Mike" Clark's papers and materials related to the development of Highlander's youth programming. Mike Clark joined the staff of Highlander in 1968 and eventually served as president of the Center from 1972 to 1981, overseeing a period of transition away from civil rights and into other area of social action. Some of the materials in this group pre-date Clark's time with Highlander and document earlier activities of the organization. Also included are Clark's materials pertaining to Highlander's projects and publications covering environmental pollution caused by coal mining, chemical production, and military bases. Included are manuscript drafts, correspondence, newspaper clippings, program materials, financial documents, notes, reports, and other research materials.

The portion of this group related to Highlander's youth programs includes materials related to The Young and the Restless and Seeds of Fire activities, especially their workshops and camps. Included are planning documents and correspondence, promotional and activity materials, evaluations and reports, as well as photographs of participants.
