Hi, I would like to have this DVD, i don’t know how to do. It’s possible to buy it. I’m in Barcelona, Spain
Thank you
I vaguely remember hearing the name Pete Seeger; I remember seeing him receive the President’s award when Aretha Franklin received her’s; but I did not understand the major role he and his music played during the Civil Rights Movement until today during a segment on PBS. This man, Mr. Pete Seeger, is an UNSUNG HERO. Thank you, Mr. Seeger, for spearheading the clean up of the Hudson River; speaking truth about the Vietnam war; and all of the other important projects you supported, started, etc.; thanks for the lyrics you added to Dr. King’s “We shall over come” – one that we are still singing. Thank you and God bless you.
