Today in History - February 23, 1940 - Woody Guthrie write 'This Land is Your Land'

Woody Guthrie writes 'This Land is Your Land' - February 23, 1940

    I remember singing this song when I was in elementary school. Today it has become the rallying song for the Civil Rights Movement.

Here are the Lyrics to the chorus of the song:

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
