Studs: I Never Met a Petition I Didn’t Like

Recommended by a good friend and I am happy to pass it on to all of you. The late Studs Terkel talks about being blacklisted and the joys of being against lynching, against poll taxes, signing petitions for peace. Make sure you listen through to his Mahalia Jackson story.

Words for Acts
