Per Wikipedia: "Attaway published for children a representative popular music in America, including historical commentary, Hear America Singing. Harry Belafonte in Hear America Singing introduction writes the folk singing is no longer a spectator sport - it is an essential part of growing up. Folk music is just exactly what it claims to be - the music of the people; not of individuals, but all the people. Belafonte continues the term "folk" was originally applied only to the peasants and farmers of the Old World, who had never learned to read or write. The evolution of democracy slowly expanded the meaning of the world until it came to stand for all proud and common people."
