Movements seeking social change have long used music and storytelling. Singers and storytellers have lent both their talents to the American Civil Rights Movement, Labor Equality, and Indigenous Rights. They have played an essential role bolstering courage, inspiring participation, and fostering a sense of community. 

Six-time Grammy nominee John McCutcheon shares an evening of music in this wide-ranging tribute to the music of his friend and mentor Pete Seeger. McCutcheon is an American folk music singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has produced 40 albums since the 1970s. He is regarded as a master of the hammered dulcimer. This event will stream on the Greensboro Public Library's Facebook page at 7 pm. There will be a live Q&A with John McCutcheon following the musical set. To register for the Q&A, go to this link.  

This program is a part of the American Democracy 20/20 Project (spearheaded by the Greensboro History Museum). A project sparking discussions and programs throughout Greensboro relevant to the presidential election year, the 150th anniversary of the Fifteenth Amendment, the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote and the 60th anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-Ins. This program is sponsored by the Greensboro Public Library Foundation.
