This Land is Your Land

The Folksongs of Woody Guthrie, 1912-1967

Join us in welcoming Illinois Humanities Roads Scholar, Bucky Halker, to the Hub where he will present “This Land Is Your Land” a program that combines music performance (guitar and vocal) and spoken commentary. The program features songs by legendary folksinger and songwriter Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie (1912-1967), as well as commentary on the time period and each song. This commentary frames the program in a larger historical context and offers specific details on Guthrie’s songs and his biography. The program also includes two sing-along songs.
The presentation aligns with the Illinois America 250 Commission’s theme “We the People.” This theme invites us to explore ideas of who has been included and who has been left out of the nation’s promise, as well as how people from all backgrounds have shaped and reshaped what it means to be part of “the people.” The Illinois America 250 Commission’s goals are to uplift local stories, places, and programs; build pride; and showcase how Illinois brings the ideals of the Declaration of Independence to life. 

Date & Time | Friday, May 1st, at 7 p.m.
