Faith Petric (1915-2013) proudly called herself a radical, and she chose folk music as her vehicle for creating a more just world. A student peace activist in her twenties, she was still protesting war in her eighties. In between she aided migrant workers in California, helped build Liberty Ships during WWII, faced Cold War-era FBI surveillance, marched for racial justice in Selma, AL, and nurtured vibrant folk music communities, such as the San Francisco Folk Music Club (SFFMC). A single working mother, Faith retired in 1970 and became a traveling folk singer, performing into her nineties. Faith inspired all people to take responsibility for social change, women and elders to defy stereotypes, and everyone she met to sing along. Singing for Justice is produced and directed by award-winning Stanford historian Estelle Freedman and award-winning documentary filmmaker Christie Herring. Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist John McCutcheon is the Composer and Musical Supervisor.
