Happy and soulful birthday wishes directed toward the great beyond as we celebrate the birthdays of James Brown and Pete Seeger! In the picture below, you'll see Pete Seeger with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in front of the Highlander Folk School, a social justice leadership training school that was integral to the education arm of the Civil Rights movement. Check out Pete Seeger's Smithsonian Folkways album compiling the songs of the Civil Rights movement, as heard on the Selma-to-Montgomery march: http://www.folkways.si.edu/…/africa…/music/album/smithsonian
