I also remember walking into Harold Leventhal's office in the Summer of 1961to do some volunteer work for Pete Seeger--Leventhal was his manager and also managed many on the folk-left--and seeing Frank Sinatra's signed photo on the wall--alongside Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Josh White, etc. I think Leventhal said that he managed Sinatra at one time? I may be way off about that. But at that time, Levanthal reminded me about the song and mentioned it in the context of a concert with integrated audience that Seeger had performed for Eleanor Roosevelt and others prior to the end of the war. I believe it may have been the concert mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Pete Seeger. I remember this song quite well.

I remember him shaking hands with my mom. I knew then I was in the presence of history and greatness. In short, he was my first role model who inpired me towards education and the understanding that throught hard work I could do anything. We met again in 1991. He looked great. Viva Raul Castro.! Looking foward to purchasing the Bio. Then Governor Castro spoke at my Jr. High graduation (Silvestre Herrera Elementary) in 1975. I remember him shaking hands with my mom.

Marc Rodriguez of Notre Dame also just released a book on a similar topic called "Tejano Diaspora". It treats migrant activists between Crystal City, Texas and Wisconsin. -Antonio Ramirez Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for this — my research is on, in part, Latinos in the Midwest. Marc Rodriguez of Notre Dame also just released a book on a similar topic called “Tejano Diaspora”. It treats migrant activists between Crystal City, Texas and Wisconsin.
