Si Kahn – Songs of Growing Up in the Movement

Renowned singer song-writer and activist Si Kahn speaks about growing up Jewish and his upbringing in the culture of activism. He sings some of his songs reflecting these memories.

Kahn is a veteran of SNCC and was the founder and executive director of Grassroots Leadership, a southern-based national organization that works to abolish all for-profit private prisons, jails and detention centers, as a step towards helping create a prison and criminal justice system that is truly just and humane.

Kahn’s most recent book is Creative Community Organizing: A Guide for Rabble Rousers, Activists, and Quiet Lovers of Justice.

He is interviewed by Mark Helpsmeet, Producer of Song of the Soul, WHYS-LP, Eau Claire, Wisconsin. For information about Spirit in Action:
