Annotation
As discussed above, Joan Baez played an active and important role in the 1960s/70s protest and civil rights movement. She was born on Staten Island, New York, on 9 January 1941. Her father was born in Puebla, Mexico, and she has spoken of identifying with the Mexican-American community.1 She joined in various forms of protest, such as the Draft Resistance, an organisation run by her then husband David Harris. Together they released a film about his imprisonment for draft evasion in 1970 called Carry It On. This soundtrack (Vanguard Records # VSD-79313) includes spoken-word extracts discussing the draft, and Baez performing live across the country.
