“This Land Is Your Land”

Invoking the words of civil rights leader John Lewis and the lyrics of Woody Guthrie's This Land is Your Land, the long-time TV host told the audience that "America is an ongoing project" requiring "hard work and heart work".

A small brass band played ”This Land Is Your Land.”

“When he arrived, people were singing, ‘This Land Is Your Land,’ ” said Villagra, who was at the airport.

This land is my land, this land is your land.

The play’s title — taken from the song “This Land Is Your Land,” Woody Guthrie’s bitter retort to “God Bless America,” suggests as much.
