I was putting together some music for Occupy Boston this week, and while searching Pete Seeger came across this video. It struck me for its visibility and transparency of Class. When was the last time that mainstream music talked about unions? As talked about in class, this language and clarity regarding an identity around Class has been forced aside and made invisibile. Pete Seeger has many many songs that talk about things related to unions, working class, working conditions etc. This example is just a staunch one.
Enjoy!
