PRODUCT SUMMARY
(1941-Present) The daughter of Quaker parents, folksinger Joan Chandros Baez understood the captivating power of music and the importance of social conscience and non-violent protest. With a will of iron and a strong, clear voice, Baez focused more on personal beliefs than economic success. A fierce political activist and civil rights leader, Baez used folk music to lead a non-violent fight for the protection of basic human rights worldwide. Today, Baez continues her strong commitment to her music and to social justice. Part of the multi-volume Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Video Collection, a compelling set of biographies that introduces students to outstanding Hispanic and Latin American men and women. Available in both English and Spanish.
