...During the folk boom, each Odetta gig, in coffeehouse or concert hall, was a master class of work songs, folk songs, church songs, and an eloquent tutorial in raw American history. Identifiable from the first syllable, her voice fused the thrill of gospel, the techniques of art song - the wisdom that subtlety sometimes trumps volume - and the desperate wail of blues. If a line could be drawn from Bessie Smith to Janis Joplin, from Mahalia Jackson to Maria Callas, it would have to go through Odetta...

Just because one is enrolled in a government class does not grant one an increased mandate to request the chance to attend this national event. There are numerous students equally as passionate about the political landscape who are not in government classes. Furthermore, the administrative Registrar’s Office organizes the exam schedule, not the professors of the College...
