Here, from the Acknowledgements page in my book, You, Yes YOU, Can Teach 
Someone to Read, is what I sent an hour ago with my original response which is 
still "waiting Moderator approval" because of another long Attachment.

I WAS ON RECEPTIONIST DUTY AT ICA HEADQUARTERS IN CHICAGO IN 1977 WHEN AN 
ELDERLY STRANGER WITH A KNAPSACK INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS MYLES HORTON.  [fresh 
from an interview with Studs Terkel] 
I KNEW NOTHING OF MYLES AND ZILPHIA HORTON'S HIGHLANDER FOLK SCHOOL NOR OF 
THE ROLE THAT MYLES HAD PLAYED IN THE LIFE OF SEPTIMA CLARK AND THE 
CITIZENSHIP SCHOOLS IN THE DEEP SOUTH AND IN THE LIVES OF THE LEADERS OF THE CIVIL 
RIGHTS MOVEMENT.   HORTON AND CLARK HAVE HAD A DEEP IMPACT ON MY VISION OF 
THE UNTAPPED POWER AND POSSIBILITY OF GRASSROOTS LITERACY AND ACTION

and this, also about Myles and Septima, is also from my book and from my 
website,www.teachtwo.net

"If we but find the will, the simple learning technology exists to begin to 
wipe out functional illiteracy in our lifetime. As literacy providers build 
more and more collaborative relationships with each other and with 
community-based tutors, we can tap the synergy of partnership. Though unheralded, 
Septima Clark and Myles Horton proved that conclusively in the Deep South of 
the 1950s with hundreds of Citizenship Schools that quietly paved the way and 
prepared a people for the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s."

and just before that paragraph...
Over the years I worked in several countries with the Institute of Cultural 
Affairs (ICA).   That international community development organization 
enriched my real world learning and teaching far beyond my formal education.   
The Four Level Reflection is one of ICA/s extensive array of simple 
grassroots leadership methods.
