Pete Seeger’s live version of “Which Side Are You On?“ - a song written by Florence Reece in 1931- was released on ’Pete Seeger’s Greatest Hits’ album in 1967. Reece was the wife of Sam Reece, a union organizer for the United Mine Workers in Harlan County, Kentucky. In 1931, the miners of that region were locked in a bitter and violent struggle with the mine owners called the Harlan County War.

Which side are you on?

Until this battle’s won.
