Chesa Boudin, raised by radicals, on the songs that shaped him
Update: 2024-11-19
Description
Lawyer Chesa Boudin’s professional life has been nearly as tumultuous as his upbringing. He was raised by family friends because his parents—members of the Weather Underground—were incarcerated for crimes committed when he was just 14 months old. Boudin eventually became a progressive San Francisco district attorney representing criminal justice reform. However, he was recalled a few years later. These are his songs.
- Worlds Apart (1985 Original Broadway Cast) – Daniel Jenkins
- Fast Car – Tracy Chapman
- Dear Mama – Tupac Shakur
- I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be – Free Nina Simone
- Be (Intro) – Common
- Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles
- Baby Shark – Pinkfong
