Great Regulars: Odetta: I love to perform. It has been

the music, folk music that has informed me, educated me, got me to feeling good and better about myself, and I have a need to propagandize and to continue putting out the stories of how strong a group of people we came from, how we got over, under, through, in spite of all the feet that were holding us down. And so I am a propagandist, really.

from Jeffrey Brown: PBS: Newshour: Famed Civils Rights Folk Singer Odetta Dies
