Pete Seeger for Nobel Peace Prize?

So suggests Peter Dreier, calling Seeger a "troubadour for social justice in the U.S. and human rights around the world."

Peter Rothberg, over at the Nation, echoes Dreier's praise:

"Seeger has been an inimitable ambassador for peace, social justice and the best kind of patriotism over the course of a remarkable lifetime."

Here's a video of Pete Seeger remembering the 1949 Peekskill race riot.
