With the whole Wisconsin, Ohio, Michigan, etc. labor messes going on, this video seemed appropriate. Here's Bruce's words regarding this song, from the Seeger Session CD...
"The most important political protest song of all-time, sung around the world when people fight for justice and equality. Originally a Baptist hymn, brought into the labor movement in the 1930s, popularized among civil rights workers in the 1950s at the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee."
Enjoy....
