This silent film documents integrated social activities during the Highlander Folk School twenty-fifth anniversary celebration weekend, including dining, swimming, and dancing, and features shots of prominent civil rights and labor activists such as Ralph Abernathy, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King, Jr. The film is in two parts; the first part, shot in color, shows civil rights leaders and others entering and exiting the library and an interracial group swimming in a pond. The second part consists of about twenty black-and-white still photos taken by Friend during the weekend celebration; many of the pictures in the film correspond to pictures in the broadside published by the Georgia Commission on Education.
