Anne Feeney (1951-2021)

Anne Feeney (July 1, 1951 – February 3, 2021) was an American folk musician, singer-songwriter, political activist and attorney. Anne Feeney was a firm believer in the power of music to create and strengthen bonds of solidarity as well as entertain.

“I can’t even imagine the civil rights movement without singing. I can’t imagine the early CIO days without singing. Music instills power and bravery.” - Anne Feeney (UE News)
