Pandemic Threatens 50-Year Legacy of Pete Seeger’s Hudson River Sloop Clearwater
The Hudson River sloop Clearwater -- one of the greatest legacies of the folk icon Pete Seeger and the flagship of one of the nation’s oldest music-rooted activist organizations -- may never sail again, as the coronavirus pandemic halts its activities and threatens its solvency.Just over a decade ago, on May 3, 2009, Seeger took center stage at Madison Square Garden for a 90th birthday concert to benefit the Clearwater.
