@MenechemShaul true. its sort of ironic as well.. most of the 'christian' festivals arent really biblical.. and the ones we are supposed to celebrate are thought of as not relevant to our time. :)

its so wierd how these people call themselves christians yet were so hesitent to let another human just ecause of their skin color perform



This performance is not from 1970. It's actually 10 years older: March 10, 1960 to be exact. Odetta was already a major figure in the social protest movement of the times, and it was a risk to TEF's image to perform with her. The result, of course, was wonderful.
