"The People's Songs"

"The People's Songs" was an organization founded in 1945 to promote music that reflected working-class struggles, social justice, and community values. It aimed to preserve and spread songs that expressed the hopes and challenges of ordinary people, often focusing on folk, protest, and labor music. By providing a platform for musicians and listeners, it helped inspire social activism and build a sense of shared purpose through music. Over time, it influenced the folk revival and contributed to the cultural movement supporting civil rights and workers' rights in the United States.
