  • Resumen

  • Folk musician. Banjo player. Singer of songs of unity. He sang songs of joy. He sang for the unions. He sang for the people. For the workers and the downtrodden. He sang songs for change. Civil Rights songs. Folk songs. Despite the Red Scare and McCarthy’s witch hunt, Pete Seeger sang on, helping to inspire the folk music revival of the 1950s and 1960s. And he would continue to sing and play throughout his life.

    Pete Seeger died at the age of 94, in 2014.
