Who is bethany yarrow

Among the many honors bestowed upon him, Yarrow is most proud of the Allard K. Lowenstein Award, which he received in for advancing the causes of human rights, peace and freedom. Throughout everything, his music has been an advocacy, and he has proven that when we come together and work for a common goal, positive change can take place. Yarrow's most recent project utilizes music and video along with character education curricula to help establish safe, compassionate and nurturing environments for children in schools and summer camps across America.

Launched in over 10, schools, Operation Respect: "Don't Laugh At Me" was hailed by virtually the entire educational community as a key initiative in our nation's response to the challenge of physical and emotional violence among children. Yarrow feels that this program, of which he is Founding Director, is perhaps the most important advocacy effort of his entire career.

As the daughter of a folk icon, Bethany was raised surrounded not only by music, but also deeply influenced by the visionary changemakers she met in her childhood. In she co-founded the Waterfall Unity Alliance, an alliance of New York activists and traditional Mohawk leaders which successfully helped to stop the Constitution Pipeline and other fossil fuel infrastructure projects. For over 20 years Bethany also performed as a duo with cellist Rufus Cappadocia bringing their signature sound of transcendent groove and evocative vocals to festivals, music halls, frontline protests, and concerts for change all over the world.

Deeply influenced by ceremonial music, their performances were like watching two spirits weave a timeless river of song. Yarrow feels that this program, of which he is Founding Director, is perhaps the most important advocacy effort of his entire career.

Though still a young woman, Bethany Yarrow is no stranger to the circumstances of the struggle for human rights and self-determination. As early as her teenage years she joined her father in marches, demonstrations and election campaigns.

A Summa Cum Laude graduate of Yale, Bethany has traveled widely and has seen firsthand the results of social, economic and political inequity around the world. In , she received a university fellowship to travel to South Africa and make a documentary about the grassroots reality of apartheid.

Mama Awethu chronicles the lives of five black women as they face the daily realities of the crushing system of apartheid in the townships of Cape Town, South Africa. The film received critical acclaim and was selected for competition in twelve festivals internationally, including the Sundance, Bombay and Berlin Film Festivals.

In a joint presentation, Peter and Bethany bridge the generation gap with a program of songs and personal stories, which reflect their enormous regard for one another and shared commitment to making the world a better, more just place for everyone.
