Talk:Alan Lomax

Lomax was one of the major targets of McCarthyism and the "second great Red Scare" of the early 1950's. Fortunately, it did not succede in getting his music education program out of the public school system in Nashville, Tennessee, so fifteen years after the height of the Red Scare and thirty years after he created it, I was one of the beneficiaries of it and know who Woody Guthrie was beyond just being Arlo's dad and still know the tune to "Roll On, Columbia".
