Description: Amy Goodman does a wonderful interview with Pete Seeger ... this is one of Democracy Now's greatest shows!
AMY GOODMAN: Today, we spend the hour with the legendary folksinger, banjo player, storyteller, and activist, Pete Seeger. For over 60 years, he's been an American icon. In the 1940s, he performed in the Weavers, along with Woody Guthrie. In the '50s, he opposed Senator Joseph McCarthy's witch hunt and was almost jailed for refusing to answer questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Pete Seeger helped popularize the civil rights anthem, "We Shall Not Be Moved." In the '60s, he was a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and inspired a generation of protest singers. He was later at the center of the environmental and anti-nuclear movements.
