Synopsis:

PETE SEEGER: CELEBRATION CONTINUED

Friday marked the 105th birthday of Pete Seeger, and we were honored to produce a wonderful 2-hour special for you with Kathryn Davis of “Heart of Mind”. We pulled heavily from the Pacifica 10-hour Pete Seeger Centennial Collection CD. There were more anecdotes and excerpts to include than we had time for so we continue the celebration on our regular hour, Wednesday, May 8th, at 10am. We link to the special from our website ecoradio.org.

Pete Seeger was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. Pete was a good friend to WBAI and Pacifica radio, a hero to the environment--clean air, clean water, healthy wildlife, and more--and also for Labor Rights, Peace, against racism, and stood up for oppressed people throughout the world, as well as being a legendary singer/ songwriter

We had prepared a few other excerpts from the Pacifica Pete Seeger Centennial Collection CD, but some technical difficulties kept us from using all of them, so we'll bring them to you after we give you our News segments for this week.

Our news reports cover where the U.S. stands on the Press Freedom Index, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection looking for comments on its Extreme Heat Resilience Action Plan draft, and the May 2nd Mountain Valley Pipeline rupture.

We have environmental music for you: Pete Seeger songs

When you listen to the May 3, 2024 2-hour Special on the WBAI Archives, skip to 12:25 minutes in to avoid the technical difficulties. We thank those who listened live and especially those who were able to donate—never too late to do that!
