Pete Seeger, the beloved folk singer and political activist who died Jan. 27 at 94, will be heard delivering his lasting testament to the world in “The 11th Hour: Pete Seeger,” on Friday, Jan. 31, at 9:30 p.m. on CPT12 (Colorado Public Television Channel 12).
Like other notables from a range of fields, Pete Seeger recorded a half-hour “11th Hour Address” to leave behind a lasting message to the world. Denver’s Sam Safarian created and produced the series with Channel 12 and Denver Center Media, a division of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. During the time the series was in production, 1991 through 2003, some 60 distinguished individuals–Steve Allen, Allen Ginsberg, Rep. Pat Schroeder, Roger Ebert, Dr. Jane Goodall, Dick Gregory among them– taped messages for the historical video record.
From the Seeger broadcast, recorded in May 1991 at the Paramount Theatre:
“I wonder, sometimes, if tribalism is not hard-wired into our genetic makeup, along with such qualities as the desire to speak. It’s a pessimistic possibility and I hope not, because if it is, I hope our intelligence is powerful enough to over-ride it*to allow us to see beyond the needs and fears of our own egos, and our own tribes, and to look into a world that we all share.” – Pete Seeger
