Peter, Paul and Mary

I chose to find the Peter, Paul and Mary version on Youtube. The video itself featured still shots of people at demonstrations for peace and equality. However, the most powerful portion is the song itself, sung in a definite folk style complete with invitations for the audience to sing along. The song is more of a soothing mantra than a defiant fight song, but that is the beauty of it. The fact that Peter, Paul and Mary were active participants at the time of the movement makes the song even more inspiring, to me.
