Pete Seeger’s life, like the arc of the moral universe famously invoked by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., bent toward justice. He sang truth to power through the epic struggles of most of the last century, for social justice, for civil rights, for workers, for the environment and for peace, notes Amy Goodman in this weeks podcast. When I interviewed Seeger in August of last year, I asked him to sing “We Shall Overcome.” He did, saying: “Yes, that is something the human race needs to be reminded of. Don’t give up.” (Special: This podcast includes audio clips from Seegers vast musical career and political activism.)
