Song 61: Which Side Are You On?, Pete Seegar
In 1931, deputies hired by a Kentucky mining company broke into Florence Reece's home and threatened her family. Which Side Are You On? was written by this wife of a union organizer after the ordeal, and the song has been recorded and rewritten by a great many artists in the decades since.
