Sandy Paton What was Lee Hays really like...? (1914-1981) (109* d) RE: What was Lee Hays really like...? 20 Aug 99


This may be a bit of thread creep, but H. L. Mitchell, a co-founder of the Southern Tenant Farmer's Union, wrote a fascinating book titled Mean Things Happening in This Land (my copy was published in Montclair, NJ, in 1979). He has some pretty negative things to say about the Commonwealth College and its founder. Still, it's a very interesting history of a tough struggle in a tough time. All of us who sing songs of that era can learn from it. I recommend it.

Sandy (always pushing books!)
