From a young age, Joan Baez knew she wanted to make the world a
better place. The daughter of immigrants from Mexico and
Scotland, she learned values of compassion and advocacy from
her parents. As Baez learned about people in need around the
world, she sang to make herself feel better—and her beautiful
voice made others feel better, too.
Baez sang songs about workers’ rights, civil rights, and the
struggle for justice. She started in coffee shops and clubs,
worked her way to singing at folk festivals and on New York
stages, and eventually she sang next to Martin Luther King Jr.
at the March on Washington, alongside César Chávez, and for the
President of the United States.
Joan realized music could move people’s hearts, minds, and feet
toward a path of justice and peace. And she used the gift of
her beautiful voice to do just that.
