Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon Remembers Musical Icon Odetta (1930-2008)
Considered the "Queen of American Folk Music," Odetta introduced audiences worldwide to American roots music and especially African American folk, blues and gospel. She died earlier this month. When Rosa Parks was asked which songs meant the most to her, she replied, "All of the songs Odetta sings." We hear Odetta in her own words and speak to Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, original member of the SNCC Freedom Singers and founder of Sweet Honey in the Rock.
