Pete Seeger's contributions to the banjo music industry are described in this video, and the banjo is explained as a metaphor for the working class people, the underdogs. In the supporting lesson plans, students examine the life and influence of a major folk singer from the era and commemorate his contributions to music and society. Students will also create an advertisement and short press release for an upcoming Black Banjo Gathering.
