Theme: Remembering Barbara Dane (1927-2024).
Barbara Dane, the folk, blues and jazz singer – and political activist – died at home in Oakland, California on October 20 at age 97. Barbara was born in Detroit in 1927 and began singing at demonstrations for racial equality and labor rights while still a teenager. She remained an activist for those causes, as well as for peace and women’s rights all of her life.
In 2017, I had the honor of interviewing Barbara on stage during the Wisdom of the Elders panel at the Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. She truly had a remarkable and inspiring life.
