The Long Road to Peekskill 

During this live performance, Professor Kaufman, from the University of Central Lancashire, connects Harriet Tubman, Paul Robeson, Leadbelly, Brownie McGhee, Sonny Terry, and Josh White with Woody Guthrie's transformation from a youthful Oklahoma racist to the ardent anti-racist champion who risked his life holding the line against American fascism during the notorious Peekskill riots of 1949. Through Guthrie's example, The Long Road to Peekskill demonstrates that racists are not born, but made - and that they can be unmade.
