*The Centennial Of Pete Seeger’s Birthday (1919-2014)- In Pete Seeger's House- "Rainbow Quest"-Paul Draper

Click on title to link to YouTube's film clip of Pete Seeger's now famous 1960s (black and white, that's the give-away)"Rainbow Quest" for the performer in this entry's headline.

Markin comment:

This series, featuring Pete Seeger and virtually most of the key performers in the 1960s folk scene is a worthy entry into the folk archival traditions for future revivalists to seek out. There were thirty plus episodes (some contained more than one performer of note, as well as Pete solo performances). I have placed the YouTube film clips here one spot over four days, November 10-13, 2009 for the reader's convenience.

    Speaker 3 - In 1963, The Birmingham Alabama Sheriff, Bull Connor, used the police force and the fire department to try and stop the Movement against racial segregation. In 1963 with jails full, Rev. James Bevel of the SCLC organized the Children's Crusade. Bull Connor met these young marchers with the fire hoses and dogs.

    Speaker 2 - Many people in the press criticized the Movement for using children, but the children kept on coming and the children came singing for freedom.
