Description

Pete Seeger was a renowned American folk musician and social activist. His outspoken songs about freedom and justice led to him being blacklisted from radio and TV for years. Despite this, Seeger continued to perform and play the banjo for tens of thousands of fans well into his 90s. Born in New York City in 1919, Seeger came from a family of musicians. His music and activism were closely tied to his civil rights work with Martin Luther King Jr. Seeger also played a key role in efforts to clean up the Hudson River. His most famous songs include "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", "If I Had a Hammer" and "Turn, Turn, Turn." This biography features 80 illustrations that bring his story to life.
