VT Humanities Program - Woody Guthrie - Mountain Baaldeer

TML is pleased to offer this free program to the community thanks to a grant from the Vermont Humanities Council and featuring, noted Woody Guthrie expert, Mark Greenburg. Refreshments will be served and the library is accessible to all.)
In his music and writing, Woody Guthrie chronicled the devastation of the 1930s dust storms and the Great Depression, championing the dispossessed and economic and social justice. Many of his songs ("This Land is Your Land") have become American classics, and he has influenced subsequent songwriters, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. This presentation by Mark Greenberg explores the always-rambling Guthrie's life and legacy through readings from his prolific prose writings, recorded and live examples of his music, and slides of Guthrie's own art and of photographs documenting his complex life and times.

Please join us on Sunday, August 27th at 2:00pm for a unique experience.
