At about 1:47 I found myself raising my right hand into the air just little bit above my head. Wow. This "nappy headed little girl" as she calls her self even carries great power forward after death!

Severe Civil rights crimes are committed in Canada by authorities against citizens who try to use their constitutional civil right of not talking to them. This anti-democracy, authority attacks happen with lazer/tazer type guns which work through concrete walls of your home from outside or even the floor above. They rape women with these high power guns, also abuse their access to high ranking officials giving them one side of false story against citizen who questions their abuse of power.

She was an amazing storyteller singer and movement activist! I am young but have grown up inspired by her life. I was lucky enough meet her in the year before she died. She was gracious and inspiring and wanted to know about me (!) and my life inspired by folk music. She was so beautiful and strong and humble til the end. A real lover of real people and our ability to do amazing things!

Most of you must be younger that 50. Odetta was a great folk singer, civil rights icon, and anti war activist during the Vietnam War. She sang at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in SF a few years ago and got a long standing ovation. She died last year I think.
