Chapel Talk, 2004 January 7: Woody Guthrie / Mark Hammond

Through examining the works of Woody Guthrie, Physics teacher Mark Hammond discusses why the singer-songwriter is his hero "[H]e wrote songs to give hope and support to those whose lives were being turned upside down by hurtful people who supposed that they were better than others… people that sought to protect and expand their entitlement at the expense of the less powerful."

Included are the lyrics for "This Land is Your Land" and “Deportees: Plane Crash at Los Gatos Canyon"
