We have attempted to bring to light the ruinous and devastating effect of sending the profits of business out of our local communities to a common center, Wall Street.... appealed to the fathers and mothers -- who entertain the fond hope of their children becoming prosperous business leaders -- to awaken to a realization of the chain stores' closing this door of opportunity.... insisted that the payment of starvation wages such as the chain-store system fosters, must be eradicated - W.K. Henderson, Louisiana broadcaster of KWKH radio, c. 1930

Speak of the devil, this from last night:


Pete Seeger and entourage enter the park around the Columbus Circle monument at around 12:50 AM Saturday Morning after having marched down Broadway from 95th St. Quite a hike for a 92 year old!

Back at the ranch. Well the march arrived and I found myself "occupying" a piece of monument step not ten feet from where Pete and Arlo and Tao, and Dave Amram lead the multitudes in We Shall Overcome, We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder and This Little Light of Mine" quite moving to see ancient Pete, Indian guide and choral director of every march I've been on since 1965 when I was the same age as my son is now. Singing along with him that close by was some sort of long delayed wish fulfillment. It was a sad thrill.

Wow.  Last time I saw Pete was 40 years ago, doing the same.  Incredible.
