A Mighty Wind moment

Every year or two, around Memorial Day, I re-read Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.

Each time I read it, I learn something new or remember something I'd forgotten.

And each time I read it, I am saddened and angered.

I finished my dog-eared copy again this morning, and then serendipitously stumbled across this performance of As Long As the Grass Will Grow. It's an Indian protest song, sung here by Johnny Cash, June Carter Cash, and Pete Seeger, on Pete Seeger's Rainbow Quest TV show in the mid-60s.



You can see more clips from Rainbow Quest here.
