'This Land Is Your Land,' A Tribute By Robert Santelli




Speakers' Forum Podcast show

Summary: You sang it in elementary school, summer camp or church, and you probably still remember the lyrics. Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land" is arguably the most iconic American folk song, and at one point, there was even a movement to make it the alternative national anthem — before people started realizing the political messages hidden in some of the seldom–sung verses. Robert Santelli unravels the song and the life of Woody Guthrie in this talk recorded at the Elliott Bay Book Company on May 23, 2012.
