As early as August 18, 1955, folk singer Pete Seeger set himself apart as a "true American" when he appeared before the House Un-American Activities Committee and refused to name names, stating, "I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs, or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs. I think these are very improper questions for any American to be asked, especially under such compulsion as this." As a target of the communist witch hunt of the 1950s, Seeger was picketed, protested, blacklisted, and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from American commercial television for more than 17 years. At nearly 90 years old, Pete Seeger is still singing out...and speaking up. In this in-depth profile - the only authorized biography of the artist/activist - Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, Natalie Maines, Arlo Guthrie, Tom Paxton, and others help tell the story of a true patriot who spearheaded America's folk revival with some of its best known songs including "If I Had a Hammer," "Turn! Turn! Turn!," and "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy."
