Joan Baez

by Evelyn Beauchamp from Glenwood Springs, Colorado

Mi heroína es Joan Baez. Joan Baez nació el año 1943 y murió el año 2013. Ella nació en Staten Island Nueva York y creció en California. Joan Baez cantó una canción llamada “we shall overcome” Que era una canción de protesta del monumento de derechas civiles. Elegí a Joan Baez porque inspiró a muchas personas con sus canciones civiles. También ella era solo una inspiración con su música. Su canción ayudó mucho con el movimiento de los derechas civiles y creo que debería ser más remecida por su éxito.

My heroine is Joan Baez. Joan Baez was born in 1943 and died in 2013. She was born in Staten Island, New York and grew up in California. Joan Baez sang a song called “We Shall Overcome,” which was a protest song from the civil rights monument. I chose Joan Baez because she inspired many people with her civil songs. Also she was just an inspiration with her music. Her song helped a lot with the civil rights movement and I think it should be "more shaken" [invigorated] by her success.
