In this lively, upbeat performance full of participatory singing and dancing, Alastair introduces ECC students to a diverse group of American folk musicians who have used folk music to teach lessons, chronicle history, champion causes, celebrate victories and simply make people happy. Students “meet” Woody Guthrie, Mississippi John Hurt, Pete Seeger, and other heroes of American folk, as well as learn how Dr. Martin Luther King and others used American song tradition to inspire change during the Civil Rights movement.
