In this lesson, students explore the music of Woody Guthrie by viewing key video segments on
the migrants’ journey to California and the challenges and prejudice they faced. They then analyze the lyrics of Woody Guthrie songs, identifying not only their message but also their effect on audiences in the 1930s and today.
