Stetson Kennedy Presidential Portraits














Artists at Neely's Bend listened to Billy Bragg sing "Stetson Kennedy" from the Mermaid Ave project, read about Stetson Kennedy and studied Woody Guthrie with Mrs. Johnson their music teacher. We talked about how Woody Guthrie often visited Beluthehatchee and wrote songs and worked on his autobigraphy there. We talked about how Stetson Kennedy spent his life fighting for social justice. They were asked to draw a portrait of Stetson Kennedy as president.
