The NYC Labor Chorus has 19 songs on “We Shall Overcome”, their Symphony Space concert CD. We'll play a few of them for you on this episode of Eco-Logic. This show is a special highlight for our listeners, presenting the NYC Labor Chorus. They are having a sold-out Paul Robeson Tribute concert on Saturday night, April 29th, but you can still hear them on a CD that NYCLC donated to Eco-Logic and WBAI to show their appreciation.
Now you can appreciate them and Eco-Logic--it's a win-win! Get one of the copies that NYCLC donated!
The New York City Labor Chorus’s We Shall Overcome CD is available at eco-logic.wbai.org or www.ecoradio.org
