Episode 3: I Know Where I’m Going
Manage episode 304651627 series 2933033
In the third episode of our series on the folk label Vanguard, we cover the story of Odetta’s My Eyes Have Seen. The 1959 record solidified Odetta’s place, both as a notable artist and as a voice and central figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
To explore Odetta, this album and her music — and why they both deserve to be more widely recognized and discussed for their contributions — we talk to historian and professor in Yale’s American Studies program, Matthew Frye Jacobson, who also penned the 33 ⅓ book about Odetta’s One Grain of Sand.
