Richie Havens Performs "Freedom"
at 2003 Worldwide Protest Against the Iraq War 

Published on Apr 23, 2013

To mark the passing of legendary protest singer Richie Havens, Democracy Now! has posted video of his performance of "Freedom" at the massive demonstration against the Iraq War, which took place in New York City as millions filled the streets around the world on Feb. 15, 2003.

You may recall the song from Havens' performance at Woodstock, where he was the first act to take the stage,
and did so quite dramatically.
After a nearly 50-year career, Havens died Monday at age 72
in his New Jersey home after a sudden heart attack.
