ON FLORENCE REECE (1900-1986)
Florence
Reece (née
Patton; born April 12, 1900, died August 3, 1986) was an American
social activist, poet,
and folksong
writer. Born in Sharps
Chapel, Tennessee, the daughter and wife of
coal miners,
she is best known for the song, "Which
Side Are You On?"
which, according to folklorist Alan Lomax who collected it from
her in 1937, she wrote at age 12 when her father was out on
strike. In 1931, during the Harlan
County War strike by the United
Mine Workers of America and the National
Miners Union in which her husband, Sam Reece, was an organizer.[1]
she wrote it out on a calendar, possibly updating it, and that's
the version known today.
Pete Seeger, collecting labor union songs, learned "Which Side Are You On" in 1940. The following year, it was recorded by the Almanac Singers in a version that gained a wide audience. More recently, Billy Bragg, Dropkick Murphys, and Natalie Merchant each recorded their own interpretations of the song.
Alan Lomax, writing in the American Folk Song Book (1968), says "Florence Reece, a shy, towheaded Kentucky miner's daughter, composed this song at the age of 12 when her father was out on strike. She sang it me standing in front of the primitive hearth of a log cabin in the backwoods of Kentucky in 1937 and it has since become a national union song. The tune is an American variant of the English Jack Munro, "which side are you on" having been substituted for "lay the lily-o"."[citation needed]
Reece appeared in the Academy Award-winning documentary film, Harlan County, USA, singing her anthem to rally the striking miners.
Florence and Sam Reece were married for 64 years, until his death from pneumoconiosis (black lung) in 1978. After a lifetime of speaking out on behalf of unions and social welfare issues, Florence Reece died of a heart attack in 1986 at the age of 86 in Knoxville, Tennessee.[2]

ON JIM GARLAND (1905-1978) and the
HARLAN COUNTY WAR
Jim Garland
(1905-1978) was a songwriter from the coal
mining country of eastern
Kentucky, where he was involved with the National
Miners Union (NMU) during the violent labor conflicts of the early
1930s called the Harlan
County War.Garland came to New York City in 1931 with his older half-sister Aunt Molly Jackson where he participated in the Greenwich Village folk music scene.
The Harlan
County War was a violent labor dispute
between organizing coal miners and strikebreakers
in Harlan
County, Kentucky, primarily from 1931 to 1932.
It was the origin of the county's nickname: "Bloody Harlan".
The basic causes of the conflict remained, though, and isolated casualties continued to mount, for instance the shooting death of Young Communist League activist Harry Simms in February 1932. As of May 1932, eleven people had been killed: five deputies, four miners, Simms, and a local storekeeper sympathetic to the strikers.[1]
Harlan County coal miners continued their struggle to organize all through the 1930s, and the violence continued. Among other victims, Lloyd Clouse was shot and killed on April 24, 1937 specifically to prevent his testimony in front of the La Follette Committee. Union organizers finally succeeded after another strike in 1939.
California labor activist Caroline Decker first became involved in union activities during the Harlan County War, when she and her sister participated in relief activities for striking miners.[3]
The 1976 documentary film Harlan County, USA, winner of the 1977 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, focuses on similar labor violence of the 1970s but refers to the 1930s violence as context. (Florence Reece appears in the film.) The 2000 television movie Harlan County War starred Holly Hunter.
HISTORY
In early 1931 some 18,000 non-union workers struck more or less spontaneously in response to a 10% wage cut, amid living and working conditions that had already deteriorated from miserable to "impossibly bad". As tensions mounted the single most violent event may have been the Battle of Evarts on May 5, 1931, which drew national attention. Three guards and one miner were killed. Two days later, Kentucky Governor Flem D. Sampson called in the Kentucky National Guard to disarm both the mine guards and the union miners, bringing that phase of the strike to a close.The basic causes of the conflict remained, though, and isolated casualties continued to mount, for instance the shooting death of Young Communist League activist Harry Simms in February 1932. As of May 1932, eleven people had been killed: five deputies, four miners, Simms, and a local storekeeper sympathetic to the strikers.[1]

IMPACT
Author and activist Theodore Dreiser conducted an investigation under the auspices of the National Committee for the Defense of Political Prisoners (NCDPP) of the American Communist Party. With contributions by John dos Passos, Samuel Ornitz, and others, Dreiser produced a report called Harlan Miners Speak: Report on Terrorism in the Kentucky Coal Fields. The report is factually flawed. The Dreiser Committee did, however, discover the labor folk singer Aunt Molly Jackson and her younger half-brother Jim Garland, putting them on a tour of 38 states to raise funds for the strikers.[2] Also, during the strike Florence Reece, wife of organizer Sam Reece, wrote the labor standard Which Side Are You On?California labor activist Caroline Decker first became involved in union activities during the Harlan County War, when she and her sister participated in relief activities for striking miners.[3]

ON WOODY GUTHRIE (1912-1967)
Woodrow
Wilson "Woody"
Guthrie (July
14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) was an American singer-songwriter
and folk musician
whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional
and children's songs, ballads
and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan This
Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his
guitar. His best-known song is "This
Land Is Your Land." Many of his recorded
songs are archived in the Library
of Congress.[1]
Such songwriters as Bob
Dylan, Phil
Ochs, Bruce
Springsteen, John
Mellencamp, Pete
Seeger, Joe
Strummer, Billy
Bragg, Jeff
Tweedy and Tom
Paxton have acknowledged Guthrie as a major
influence.
Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression when Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned their traditional folk and blues songs, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour."[2] Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States Communist groups, though he was seemingly not a member of any.[3]
Guthrie was married three times and fathered eight children, including American folk musician Arlo Guthrie. Guthrie died from complications of Huntington's disease, a progressive genetic neurological disorder. During his later years, in spite of his illness, Guthrie served as a figurehead in the folk movement, providing inspiration to a generation of new folk musicians, including mentor relationships with Ramblin' Jack Elliott and Bob Dylan.

ON LEE HAYS (1914-1981)
Lee Hays
(March 14, 1914 – August 26, 1981), was an American folk-singer
and songwriter, best known for singing bass
with The Weavers.
Throughout his life, he was concerned with overcoming racism,
inequality,
and violence
in society. Hays wrote or co-wrote "Wasn't That a Time?",
"If I Had a
Hammer, "and "Kisses
Sweeter than Wine", which became Weavers'
staples. He also familiarized audiences with songs of the 1930s
labor movement, such as "We Shall Not be Moved".
ON MILLARD LAMPELL (1919-1987)
Millard
Lampell (January 23, 1919 - October 3,
1997) was an American movie and television screenwriter who first
became publicly known as a member of the Almanac
Singers in the 1940s.
He was born in Paterson, New Jersey and studied at the West Virginia University, where he gained his first exposure to folk music. In 1940 he formed the Almanac Singers with Pete Seeger and Lee Hays, later adding Woody Guthrie. Lampell wrote songs with both Seeger and Guthrie, and adapted traditional songs into labor anthems and pro-union messages. During the period of the Hitler-Stalin pact from 1939 to 1941, the group also sang songs attacking Franklin D. Roosevelt as a warmonger and opposing Britain's war against Nazi Germany.
After the Almanac Singers disbanded in 1942, Lampell wrote the lyrics for The Lonesome Train, a ballad opera on the death of Abraham Lincoln. He went on to a career as a scriptwriter for movies and, later, television. In the 1950s, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee and was blacklisted. He wrote the screenplay for the marriage guidance film This Charming Couple (1950) using the pseudonym H. Partnow. Some other of his screenplays were Chance Meeting (1959) and The Idol (1962).
Notable television plays included The Adams Chronicles and the mini-series Rich Man, Poor Man (both 1976). In 1966, he was awarded an Emmy for his teleplay for the Hallmark Hall of Fame drama Eagle in a Cage. He also wrote novels, and the play The Wall which was produced on Broadway.

Lampell died of lung cancer in 1997 at the age of 78.
Peter
"Pete" Seeger (born May 3,
1919) is an American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio
in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the
early 1950s as a member of The
Weavers, most notably their recording of
Lead Belly's
"Goodnight,
Irene", which topped the charts for 13
weeks in 1950.[1]
Members of The Weavers were blacklisted
during the McCarthy
Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the
public scene as a prominent singer of protest
music in support of international
disarmament, civil
rights, and environmental
causes.
As a song writer, he is best known as the author or co-author of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" (with Joe Hickerson), "If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)", (composed with Lee Hays of The Weavers), and "Turn, Turn, Turn!", which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement and are still sung throughout the world. "Flowers" was a hit recording for The Kingston Trio (1962); Marlene Dietrich, who recorded it in English, German and French (1962); and Johnny Rivers (1965). "If I Had a Hammer" was a hit for Peter, Paul & Mary (1962) and Trini Lopez (1963), while The Byrds popularized "Turn, Turn, Turn!" in the mid-1960s, as did Judy Collins in 1964, and The Seekers in 1966. Seeger was one of the folksingers most responsible for popularizing the spiritual "We Shall Overcome" (also recorded by Joan Baez and many other singer-activists) that became the acknowledged anthem of the 1960s American Civil Rights Movement, soon after folk singer and activist Guy Carawan introduced it at the founding meeting of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. In the PBS "American Masters" episode Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, Seeger states it was he who changed the lyric from the traditional "We will overcome" to the more singable "We shall overcome".

In the PBS "American Masters" episode Pete Seeger: The Power of Song, Seeger states it was he who changed the lyric from the traditional "We will overcome" to the more singable "We shall overcome".
Pete
Seeger was a founding member of two highly influential folk
groups: The Almanac
Singers and The
Weavers. The Almanac
Singers, which Seeger co-founded in 1941 with
Millard Lampell
and Arkansas singer and activist Lee
Hays, was a topical group, designed to
function as a singing newspaper promoting the industrial
unionization movement,[27]
racial and religious inclusion, and other progressive causes. Its
personnel included, at various times: Woody
Guthrie, Bess
Lomax Hawes, Baldwin
"Butch" Hawes, Sis
Cunningham, Josh
White, and Sam
Gary. As a controversial Almanac singer, the
21-year-old Seeger performed under the stage name "Pete
Bowers" to avoid compromising his father's government career.
In 1950, the Almanacs were reconstituted as The Weavers, named after the title of a 1892 play by Gerhart Hauptmann about a workers' strike (which contained the lines, "We'll stand it no more, come what may!"). Besides Pete Seeger (performing under his own name), members of the Weavers included charter Almanac member Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman (later, Frank Hamilton, Erik Darling and Bernie Krause serially took the place of Seeger). In the atmosphere of the 1950s red scare, the Weavers' repertoire had to be less overtly topical than that of the Almanacs had been, and its progressive message was couched in indirect language—arguably rendering it even more powerful. The Weavers even on occasion performed in tuxedos (unlike the Almanacs, who had dressed informally) and their managers refused to let them perform at political venues. Because of this, the somewhat hokey string orchestra and chorus arrangements on their hit records with Decca Records, and, no doubt also because of their considerable, if temporary, financial success, the Weavers incurred criticism from some progressives for supposedly compromising their political integrity. It was a tricky dilemma, but Seeger and the other Weavers felt that the imperative of getting their music and their message out to the widest possible audience amply justified these measures. The Weavers' string of major hits began with "On Top of Old Smokey" and an arrangement of Leadbelly's signature waltz, "Goodnight, Irene," which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950 and was covered by many other pop singers. On the flip side of "Irene" was the Israeli song "Tzena, Tzena, Tzena." Other Weaver hits included Dusty Old Dust" ("So Long It's Been Good to Know You") (by Woody Guthrie), "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" (by Hays, Seeger, and Lead Belly), the South African Zulu song, "Wimoweh" (about "the lion," warrior chief Shaka Zulu), to name a few.
The Weavers' performing career was abruptly derailed in 1953 at the peak of their popularity when blacklisting prompted radio stations to refuse to play their records and all their bookings were canceled. They briefly returned to the stage, however, at a sold-out reunion at Carnegie Hall in 1955 and in a subsequent reunion tour, which produced a hit version of Merle Travis's "Sixteen Tons" as well as LPs of their concert performances. "Kumbaya," a Gullah black spiritual dating from slavery days, was also introduced to wide audiences by Pete Seeger and the Weavers (in 1959), becoming a staple of Boy and Girl Scout campfires.
In the late 1950s, the Kingston Trio was formed in direct imitation of (and homage to) the Weavers, covering much of the latter's repertoire, though with a more buttoned-down, uncontroversial, and mainstream collegiate persona. The Kingston Trio produced another phenomenal succession of Billboard chart hits and in its turn spawned a legion of imitators, laying the groundwork for the 1960s commercial folk revival.
In the documentary film Pete Seeger: The Power of Song (2007), Seeger states that he resigned from the Weavers when the three other band members agreed to perform a jingle for a cigarette commercial.

AFTER SOPA and PIPA, say NO WAY to ACTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dear Mail Artist and Open Internet User,
We've got an important update for you on ACTA (Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement). Overnight, you helped turn ACTA from a forgotten international treaty to the center of the fight for a free and open internet. In October, Access raised the red flag on this dangerous international treaty. But with the downfall of SOPA and PIPA in the United States, the fight has now turned to defeating ACTA. And overnight, the petition went from 10,000 signatures to over 40,000 people from 138 countries!ACTA has the potential to be worse than PIPA and SOPA, but the good news is we think we can help take ACTA down like we did PIPA and SOPA. While several countries have signed this treaty already, getting a NO vote in the European Parliament will totally dismantle ACTA and send it back to the drawing board. Get all your friends and family to sign the petition calling on the European Parliament to vote NO on ACTA. You can do this in three ways:
- Forward this e-mail or link along to friends and family: https://www.accessnow.org/page/s/just-say-no-to-acta
- Go to this page to make it easy to share: https://www.accessnow.org/page/share/just-say-no-to-acta
- Tweet this or post it on Facebook: #ACTA will destroy open Net. #EU may be only hope to kill rights-abusing treaty. Tell MEPs to vote NO on ACTA! http://bit.ly/pMQ5DQ
We've seen what happens when we rally together to take down ill-conceived legislation that threatens free speech and our privacy online. Now let's spread the word and send ACTA to the dustbin of history.
Thanks for all your support,
The Access Team
------------------------------------
Hi there,
We helped stopped PIPA and SOPA. Now it's time to turn the fight against their Big Brother, ACTA. The European Parliament is our last hope to stop it. No matter where you live, tell them to vote NO on ACTA! I signed the Access petition, and I think you should too.

UPDATE February 2012
What started as a few scattered demonstrations against ACTA has exploded into an international day of action this Saturday! There are nearly 200 events across the world, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to hit the streets to protest this dangerous international agreement.
Our feet have not yet hit the pavement, but our voices are already being heard! Facing a groundswell of opposition to ACTA, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia are already wavering on ratification and the European Parliament’s point person for ACTA resigned his post in protest.With ACTA’s supporters starting to wake up, we're facing a critical moment. ACTA can still be stopped in the European Parliament, and if it’s defeated there, the whole agreement will unravel. Momentum is on our side and we must not stop now. Click through to find out how to join hundreds of thousands of people protesting online and offline against ACTA:
https://www.accessnow.org/acta-protest
Here you’ll find information about ACTA, a listing of Saturday's protests, fact sheets in several languages to hand out, and steps to download the ACTA Protest USTREAM App so you can livestream the event using your mobile phone. If there’s no protest near you, host one by starting a Facebook event and e-mail info@accessnow.org the link.
While we support the rights of creators, protection of intellectual property should not come at the expense of freedom of speech and our privacy. It is the duty of government to protect our rights, not put them in the hands of corporations and encourage ISPs to act as judge, jury, and executioner over our content and web activity.
Once seen as a done deal, ACTA’s fate is now hanging in the balance. The world is watching. Stand up for internet freedom this Saturday and protest ACTA!
https://www.accessnow.org/acta-protest
See you out there,The Access Team
P.S. Our petition has hit 350,000 and is still growing. To have the most impact in the European Parliament, it needs to get to 500,000. Help us by sending this link around to your family and friends: https://www.accessnow.org/acta
