Pete Seeger’s life had a profound impact on millions. He had a deep belief in being able to change the world through song. His idealism, fierce independence and courage should be honored, treasured and used as an inspiration for generations to come by establishing a permanent memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

As the president said, Seeger reminded us where we come from, showed us where we need to go, and "always invited us to sing along." Having him and his guitar on the National Mall is a cause I'm sure many progressives here would want to sign on for.
