I am a survivor of the Cambodian genocide.
When I came to America as an 8-year-old refugee, I knew immediately what it felt like to be seen as the other. We were called derogatory terms walking down the street. We even received phone calls telling us to go back to our country.
EXCLUSIVE: At age 83, Noel Paul Stookey still has plenty to say.
The singer/songwriter, known as the Paul in the ‘60s folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary, recently released Just Causes, a compilation of 15 songs, each highlighting a theme of social concern, including the environment, hunger, and drug trafficking, among others. The star paired each song in with an appropriate non-profit organization to benefit from the album’s net proceeds.
And Stookey is no stranger to singing for a good cause. The group’s version of If I Had a Hammer became an anthem for racial equality. The band famously performed Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ in the Wind at the August 1963 March on Washington. They also protested the Vietnam war and joined the fight to improve the working conditions of California’s farmworkers – just to name a few.
