Mercedes Sosa: A Voice for Social Justice
OCTOBER 20, 2009 MONDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
It is hard to overestimate the influence of Mercedes Sosa's music and voice in South America. In a career that spanned over six decades and produced 40 albums, the Argentine folk singer, who died on October 4th, united an entire continent in her ongoing struggle for human rights, peace, and social justice in South America.
