On the love-waging hero, folk-singer, activist, and national icon. With Bruce Jackson, SUNY Distinguished Professor, James Agee Professor of American Culture; and Chuck Culhane, Prisoners’ Rights vigil (WNYPC), – both dear friends of Pete’s; and Vicki Ross, WNYPC Community Coordinator.

Discussion:

• Pete’s values and life of activism (5/3/1919 – 1/27/2014)
• how he used his music & banjo (“this machine surrounds hate & forces it to surrender”)
• personal experiences with Pete (including his last public concert at WNYPC 46th Annual Dinner 11/9/13)
• ways people can remember Pete, and work on the causes he worked on

The show is taped for just under an hour by Think Twice Radio: Home of the Future (thanks to Richard Wicka, our wonderful producer). The Zoom recording, livestreamed on Facebook during the taping, will air on WBNY 91.3FM on the following Monday (1/24) at 1pm EST. After airing, you can also find the video archived on the WNY Peace Center YouTube channel.
