July 14, 1912 - Singer Woody Guthrie was born. Perhaps his best-known song is "This Land is Your Land," an anthem to democracy. During the Great Depression, he captured the mood of the country. Many of his songs live on at rallies and on picketlines. He inspired numerous other artists, including Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan.
